Default Whose drive reservoir foams and whose doesn't???

I've searched the forum and, after much informative reading, decided to go with RedLine Heavy in my drive. However, there seems to be two factions: Those whose drive reservoirs foam with the RedLine and those whose do not. I want to avoid the hassle of the foaming mess, so trying to figure if I am a candidate...Is it high HP only or a certain type of drive? There must be some explanation as to why some foam but not all?!?

My setup is a stock 330/454 w/TRS.

Many thanks in advance,

D. Ocean

I run a 500hp with a standard Bravo 1 drive it also runs a drive shower and I have not had any problem with the Red Line foaming up.
It is a sticky oil. I'm changing to Royal Purple Max Gear as I feel it is a better oil.

On my old scarab I ran Aslyn syn and it foamed went back to merc oil and no probs.

The Hustler has B maxs and they recommend syn- I run amsoil and it foams . When you stop it settles back to where it was. no problems though.
