I used it in my gear oil and think it's one of the top 3 around. Amsoil would be the best but it cost and you have to order it online, well at least in our area. Royal Purple was available at my local pep-boys.

How often do you change your oil with royal purple? The RP websites says 12K miles? But that just makes me nervous? What do y'all think?

take your dipstick out and hold a lighter to it if the oil lights change it
