Rear End

So. like anything completely biased and a lot of people hate RP and the other half such as me pray by it. and once again have an amazing experience.

Car only had 1500 miles. decided to take out all the cheap factory fluids. today did the engine and the rear end. now i have always used it in the engine. and you cant really tell any difference.

havnt even been able to do the Tranny yet. but good lord it is so much smoother......... 1qt 75-90 RP gear oil, filled the remainder with Lucas. and already im a fan. of it in the rear end as well as the engine. tranny next.

Btw. Helpful Tip of the day-
If you had one car, and then get a new car ('02 SLP SS~ '13 1LE)
the bucket you used before to drain your oil in, may or may not have the needed capacity and you end up w/ 3 extra qt's of oil on the driveway.

Cool! BTW you could have used the appropriate GM fluids and have had the same result.
