Gear Oil Help cant decide

Post by alexalexanders »

Ok I cant decide what brand of oil to buy. Royal Purple, Castrol Full Synthetic, Valvoline Full synthetic, or Lucas full synthetic. Any help which brand to go with would be great

Basically, all synthetics are molecularly the same. It really just boils down to personal brand preference.
