No more Royal Purple for me either. I have switched to the Neo oil and we'll see how it goes... Hopefully I can get a full season out of my drives. I plan on checking it at the 10 hour mark and the clock starts this weekend. Should have 10 hours on it by Memorial day.

I have been corrected on the gearlube. I can get REGULAR NEO. The Bravo shop has a custom blend that they sell.

I have a source for the Neo oil if anybody needs it. It ain't cheap, but anything good is not cheap right ??

NEO with the Bravo Shop add pack or just NEO? There is a difference.

I do sell it. How many gallons do you want?

I have helped him get some of it out there, but am in no way earning a living by talking about it.

Smitty I have not sent you anything so please don't say you are using Bravo Shop Neo oil, their car oil is not the same product as we make and I don't want you having a problem and associating the oil you buy with the oil we have made just for us.
Thanks.

0.00 gallons. I'll hold out for a lot more info, testing, and history... especialy at these prices!

I was just looking for full disclosure so I know who's comments and reviews to weigh how heavily. I see a few people raving about this oil over and over... of these few people, a couple so far are selling it.

If I wasn't selling it or telling you about it how would you get to know anything about it? As I stated before I also was having a lot of gear failures and after treating gears and looking at making new gears and spending lots of $$ on testings different gears and materials there had to be a better solution to this problem. So this is what I came up with.

You are more then welcome to have a oil company build you something for your drive and I hope it works for you. I'm not forcing you to buy it just telling you about it to save you some cash in repairs.
You can call me if you'd like, I will be happy to answer any questions you have.

Again, nothing personal... I just wanted to understand the source(s) of the info being provided here. Obviously third party testing and info tends to be a little less biased.

I look forward to more independent info and I wish you the best of luck with your product! :)
