i saw an episode of HP TV a while back where they had a camaro and put all RP oils and additives in.
Engine oil
Trans fluid
Diff Fluid
Etc and they gained like 8whp but im sure that they were paid quite nicely by RP. Im using M1 but its really up to the user i guess.

We use it in our car and have been beating the crap out of it for 45,xxx miles. The car runs 10.6's @134 mph on the stock motor and everytime I pull the valve cover to inspect it, Its as clean as the day I drove it off of the lot!

I've been using RP for over a year now. I'm getting ready to switch over to their racing blend. After less than 2 weeks of changing my Mobil1 it was black, after 1 1/2 months the RP was still transparent and, how should I say,purplish. I also called RP's corp office and asked about it being 100% synthetic, of which they confirmed it was. Don't believe the rumors, check things out for yourself.

My first oil change (500 miles) was w/ royal purple, and i used it on my previous vehicles- no problems.
i've been hearing bad things about RP recently, but it's starting to be hard to tell fact from fiction nowadays.

rp is comparable to amsoil and redline and is CHEAPER! well at least at my local vendor. It runs 6.95/qt compared to 8.95 for redline and amsoil
