Hi,
I don't have their motor oil, but I use the NEO RHD in my TC and rear diff. I also used it in my wife's old WRX, which specifies a GL5 fluid throughout.
It's spendy, but their stuff works excellent. I'm at 33K miles, and with Redline MT-90 in the transaxle, car shifts great. The dreaded decel noise is also gone.
Anyway, I think highly of NEO, although it's spendy not not readily avail near me, I've had to order it. I'm interested to hear about the motor oil experience though.
Take care,
FB
