Royal Purple | #PITSTOP

Here’s why MOTOR OIL is getting thinner Ft. Royal Purple | #PITSTOP


While we were walking around #SEMA this year, we were able to catch up with Chris Barker of Royal Purple Synthetic Oils to lob a few motor oil-related questions at him for our subscriber- base. The purpose of these #PITSTOP videos is to provide a quick and informative look into other areas of automotive – learning about suspension, brakes, oils/fluids, turbos, etc.

What better way to learn than to go to the source for the information? That’s why we find ourselves at the Royal Purple booth today. The questions we asked Royal Purple include:

What do the NUMBERS ON THE BOTTLE mean? (ex. “0W-40)
What are your thoughts on HIGH-MILEAGE oil changes? (10k miles)
Why does it seem like OIL WEIGHTS are getting thinner and thinner every year?
If I take my CAR TO THE TRACK, should I switch to a HEAVIER-WEIGHT OIL?
Are there any DISADVANTAGES to using a HEAVIER-WEIGHT OIL?

S2000 Touring Car Build for Gridlife w/  Hans Horpedahl | CARNATOMY

SEMA Pit Stop: Konig Meets Up With Eibach and Koni Suspension

S2000 Touring Car Build for Gridlife w/  Hans Horpedahl


We recently had the chance to catch up with Konig Wheels driver Hans Horpedahl during the much-anticipated Gridlife Circuit Legends event this year. Hans is not just a familiar face on the Gridlife Touring Cup (GLTC) circuit but also a driver who has continuously pushed the limits of his car and his skill. This time, we took a closer look at his GLTC build for the season, a machine that exemplifies meticulous engineering and relentless passion for motorsport.

Hans’s car is a K24-swapped Honda S2000, a platform that has earned its reputation for balancing power, precision, and reliability. With the heart of Honda’s K-series engine transplanted into the lightweight chassis of the S2000, Hans’s build combines high-revving performance with razor-sharp handling. The result is a track weapon perfectly suited to the demands of the GLTC, where every second counts, and consistency is king.

Representing Myriad Motorsports, Hans has taken his S2000 to tracks across the country, competing in one of the most competitive grassroots racing series around. Each lap is a testament to the countless hours spent dialing in suspension setups, refining the power delivery, and ensuring the car is race-ready. But it’s not just about the car; Hans’s dedication to racing and his focus on continuous improvement have made him a driver to watch in every event.

This season, Hans’s build is more than just a car—it’s a culmination of teamwork, passion, and the drive to excel in one of the most demanding racing environments. Whether he’s battling for position or pushing for that perfect lap, Hans embodies the spirit of Gridlife and the Konig Wheels ethos, showing that precision and perseverance lead to success on and off the track.
