Hey Guys

I am about to change the transmission and diff oil in my car and was going to put the Royal purple synchro max and royal purple gear oil Or should I just stick to the BMW oils ?

The car is modded jb4 , dp and IC the usual stuff , I'm just wondering what others are using and feedback on the oils

Thanks

My MT has only seen the BMW stuff every 50k and the DIFF been changing with RL 75W-90 every 30k. Both still running great now at 120k. But I would not hesitate in using RL for both but would move the MT OCI to 30k.
