I run Royal Purple products on my Trans Am and Firebird and had some extra laying around so I decided that the truck will also get it.

The front and rear differential fluid and transfer case fluid were original from the factory :(

So, it got RP motor oil, RP front diff fluid, RP rear diff fluid, and RP transfer case fluid. I have RP radiator additive in the shed - once it gets warmer I'll add that in.

I still have to do RP tranny fluid - I'll wait till the summer.

Acceleration seems to have improved slightly. Rolling resistance seems to have decreased - specifically I mean if I go to a stretch of road, get to 40 mph and pop it in neutral... it seems to go a further distance than before.

Fuel economy increased also.

Would I reccomend it - well... it is kinda expensive but the diff fluid n transfer case fluid will last a long time - it's just the oil that will need to be regularly done.... so yes, I would reccomend it
 






just some thought awhile back we did back to back dyno pulls on a 04 cobra, changing the rear fluid, engine oil, and tranny with royal purple netted us 18rwhp on average, same day same iat's same ambient temp and humidity. i would say your claims are accurate.
