Your comments are spot on. The stuff is hideous to work with. I hate it. But I wanted the best oil to protect my X1 drive from 600 hp and I thought that this was it. Am I wrong? I would love to see a test data package that shows a more user friendly oil is just as good or better than the Redline.
One opinion against the Redline product from a drive industry guy was that its consistancy would likely hold wear debris in suspension rather than let it fall out of the way at rest as he would prefer. He noted that this was just an opinion.
Anyone out there with any compoarison test data?

Thanks for the help finding the TORCO web site.
The TORCO gear lube was included in the Amsoil white paper testing. It did not seem to do so well in some of the tests.
Your thoughts?

...ever see Amsoil products doing as good or worse in thier "studies"?..
Amsoil Severe Gear and Torco products are comparible I think as the Torco synthetic gear lubes are GL-6 rated.
I ran M-1 syn gear lube and it is also really good as is Royal Purple's gearlube.
Just an fyi...Merc HP gearlube is not be be discounted....it works well...however...I didn't see as much on the magnet when I went over to a syn.
