its really up to you. I made the switch to RP last oil change. But doing the oil, I also did the tranny (M6) and the rear diff.

No problems at this time.

If you already use mobil 1 just stick with it. No real difference. I tried it a couple times, but I just went back to mobil 1. Make sure its fully synthetic and use 5w30 crazy ***.
