I used it in my TII for 1/2 of an Autocross season. My car ran noticably cooler. I love it. I am going to put it back into my FD engine this week before my 1st AutoX.

its just another brand of synthetic oil thats all.

I think people just hop on the RP bandwagon when any synthetic will do

the same job, AMSOIL is a superior synthetic.
