I run the NEO oil as well. Definitely runs cooler, based on a lot less white residue on drive case at top. Also comes out really clean, so obviously it runs cooler as advertised.

Good stuff !!!!

2.8 qts to fill a completely empty Bravo and about .2 qt more to fill the res bottle. I would probably get 4 qts to be safe and have a little extra.

Has anyone run the Neo and comparable Amsoil products? I am familiar with Amsoil, I use it and have had good luck with it, but I have not heard of the Neo products and wondered how they had compared.

I used to run Amsoil prior to switching to Neo. The Amsoil did not last as long as the Neo does. Seems to become contaminated faster....

I use NEO in all my drives,blowers and now its going in everyones engines that I service, since I met George from AADS. He just shipped 15/50 and oil for the #6 drives.

Just as a clarification... AADS and The Bravo Shop are NOT using stock NEO blends. They are each having their own fomulations made up. If you are running stock of the shelf NEO... you are not getting the best bang for the buck IMO.

Do each shop have a different blend or is that stuff the same?

It's my understanding per one of the shops that each shop has their own blend...

What's confusing about it??? You asked a question, I gave you an answer.

Shop "a" has the oil blended to their liking. Shop "b" might have a different formulation they like. Hence the difference. If you buy enough/pay for it, you can get it done.
