I've always used Torco RGO with a friction modifier (minus modifier for the infiniti), and has given me great results. In anything from a DD Infiniti, to an 800+hp Corvette

Would appreciate any feedback after you've had a chance to evaluate.

In your opinion, what makes it so much better than everything else you have ever used?

I would be interested to hear what others have done or are thinking. Here is a link to Redline http://www.redlineoil.com/products_g...7&categoryID=7
had redline in a rear end and it destroyed itself. never touched that **** again. Motul for me here too.

Thanks for the heads up. I never had any problems. I don't know if torque has anything to do with it but the RX8 had none and I didn't drive it too hard. Have you changed your transmission and diff out to Motul then and do you notice a difference?

yes i have switched them out. while i did notice a tad bit more smoothness its not that big of a difference. the only reason i upgrade my fluids is for the fact i do track days. and i want the best in my car at that point.

Same experience here with Motul in tranny and LSD.

sorry for bumping an old post.

Price, reduction of noise/chatter, longevity. I run it in my 900rwhp corvette Z06, and it runs smooth like a dream.

I've used Amsoil gear oils, and they are also very good, just prefer Torco, I feel it just reduces the chatter a bit better.
