I can get a good look at a steak by sticking my head up the bull's a$$ too, but I typically take the butcher's word for it.

Wow, your pretty mouthy about all of this. :evilb: I can tell you that its lowered the temps in my bravos by a long shot but hey, what do I know. I just run around in a 13000lb bravo breaker. :kiss:
Heat is a bravo drives worst enemy IMO so by reducing it which is exactly what this oil has done for me, I have increased my drive longevity. Different strokes for different folks bro. If you like your amsoil, run it. We used to run it in our trucking company for years and saw lower trans and drive temps. On the other side of that coin is NEO oil and its blend has been doing very well in bravo based boats, mine included. |

Just broke a couple of lower teeth off. This is after 3 seasons of running 75/90 Royal Purple. Change oil at the end of every season but only put 20 hours/year. The other drive oil looked ok when we changed in the fall.
What have others found with Royal Purple? |

Nope. Not saying that at all, but AMSOIL's motorcycle oils are also GL-1 rated, and have been tested in FZG gear testing, ASTM D-5182. Just saying, some things are made differently than others, and can perform in different applications.

Per Mr. Gadgets, Royal Purple with 5oz of Prolong Engine Treatment, I would like Mr. Gadget to chime in on the Neo, now I have a stock package but I have never had an issue and trust Mr. Gadget's experience.

As far as the original question,running a synthetic motor oil, it is not EP rated that I know of and I do know that GPM tried some in his drive behind 1400 or 1500 hp and the gears lasted about 2 or 3 hours but the set-up work that was done to his drive at the time is questionable, Smitty

I have the NEO-Bravo Shop RPD in a 40 Outlaw with twin 575's. Tom just completed a 130+ mile poker run and decided to drop the oil to see what it looked like at the same time interval as he normally changes drive oil at.
He reported back to me today that there was zero hair on the magnets and the oil was still clear and smelled fresh. He said that normally the oil is ready to be changed and there is hair on the magnets. I believe he normally used Merc Hi-Po or Amsoil. I've asked him for conformation on brand. |

The synthetic I am referencing was a 70 wt Royal purple motor oil. Gpm called up Royal purple and spoke with someone supposedly in the know, they told him the GL rated oils (including their own) "held too much heat" in the gears and the motor oil would work much better, I think they forgot about shear strength/contact patch, less than 3 hours later his gears were destroyed. As far as Amsoil MCF, I have no idea or experience, I do know that some synthetics have the ability to over lap in their applications and ratings due to superior formulation. I have heard of guys running 50 wt Amsoil engine oil in semi truck transmissions, Smitty
