Default Royal Purple ATF BQ

Has anyone run the Royal Purple ATF BQ in their transmission? I'm leaning toward it and looking for any good advice.

Thanks

Redline, Amsoil, Lucas, Mobile 1, HD, Bellray and on and on and I also know you can run the 20/50 in all 3 holes but I choose not to. I much prefer and Amsoil 75/140 in my tranny. I have a SE 6 speed so why run Motor oil in a transmission. I prefer to run gear lube and I have even been talked into in trying the Redline before I hit the streets in the spring. Shifts better, hits neutral everytime, no clunk and very quiet. THE MOST important thing is to use Full Synthetic......

I'll bet a few years ago they were telling their customers that synthetic is too slippery and will cause the roller bearings to get flat spots! (I actually heard one guy try to tell me that.)

Ha. Yup. Bearing skate. Invented a term for a non existent problem. Red-line shockproof heavy for your tranny. Motor oil is for motors. I don't care what anyone says. Oil companies make a specific product for the tranny,so that's what I use. And good old rotella t 15w40 in the primary. It has the JASO spec for wet clutches and is dirt cheap. But everyone is different. Use what you like

Yep I heard that one too. My neighbor bought his glide a few years back and they told him not to run synthetic for that very reason.... He ran Mobil 1 any way and never had a problem
