Engine, transmission and differential lube all replaced with Redline synthetic about 4 months ago. So far no problems, but some have said that the tendency of seals to weep or drip with synthetics is higher. This is because natural oils tend to swell elastomers (rubber) in the seals more than synthetics.

Engine seems to run smoother, no difference noted with trans or diff.

It's only my personal opinion, but after trying most synthetics during my racing years, I settled on Redline products as what I thought best.
