I do. Mobil 1 is good too.

I have/going to have RP for every fluid. It is already in the motor and tranny. When I get the gears done it will be in there too

I use Mobile one. From what I hear synthetic is synthetic no matter what color it is.

I've used Royal Purple in my '88 Stang for many years now and I have been very happy with it and you know I've raced it really hard too.

Check out these links for some quick answers:

http://royalpurple.com/techa/whyrpa.html

http://royalpurple.com/arta/arta.html

http://royalpurple.com/techa/faqsa.html

By the way, Royal Purple is now offered at Pep Boys for around $5.99 per quart. Usually $1 more expensive than Mobile 1 which is also a good oil.

Amsoil is also a very good product: https://www.amsoil.com/performancete...971/index.aspx

Redline synthetic lubricants are also dynomite products:

Hope this gives you enough info on synthetics. My advice, USE IT!

I would say redline is the best to go with. Its what I use and what I've always been told is the best. I'm sure there are great though. I only change my oil every 5000 miles and the oil is still pretty clean and not thinned out.
