I've used RP oil and gear lube. I like the engine oil but my tranny didn't like the gear lube (shifting was a bit notchy, so I switched to Castrol). I've seen an oil study that had very favorable things to say about RP and I haven't seen anything that makes me think there are any problems with it, altho I have heard online that some folks claim to have problems with it, but they are few and far in between with no proof that I have ever heard of.

Regards,

I run both gear oil and engine oil. No problems. Although I barely get any miles on my 951s, lol.
