I have never used RP in my motor, but I would like to give it a try. Their Maxgear felt great in my tranny, but I settled on Redline MT-90 for it. I would like to make a few statements though -
There's more to life than UOA's!
Most people who buy RP are looking for extra horsepower. These people drive their car harder than those who could care less about hp in their commuting. So I can see why some UOA's may not be as good.
They advertise that their oil has a much higher film strength than other oils. If this would allow me to use a thinner oil with acceptable wear AND increase my gas mileage, that would be a good thing.
If you can feel a difference in the way your motor performs at the expense of a few ppm of wear, that's probably a good thing as well. I've read several testimonies that nothing ran smoother in their motor. If I enjoy driving my car more, it's worth it.
I think we make too much out of a few ppm of wear or a few bucks extra, if we could enjoy the ride more. Almost everyone here will not keep their car long enough for a few ppm of wear to matter.
In conclusion, I will have an open mind and will try this oil. If I like the way my motor runs with it and achieve acceptable wear, I will probably continue to use it. But, I refuse to judge it until I have felt the experience!
