I've never tried any Royal Purple products in any of the cars I've owned.

I have used Redline MT-90 in my first car, it made a HUGE difference in shifting. At the time the synchros were a bit worn, especially 1st to 2nd gear. Then again at the time it was a 10 year old car that probably hasn't seen an transmission oil change in 5+ years. Either way I was really happy with it.

I've tried Redline lightweight shockproof gear oil in my 350z, great stuff. Shifting improved at all temperatures, hot or cold.

Sounds like your talking about tranny oil... not engine oil?

**Edit:OR is that the point of discussion is considering Manual Tranny fluid?!?! LMAO Wow, I'm slow. I thought this was in reference to Regular Engine oil... Please forgive me lol.

My question was in reference to Engine Oil.

I think oil have no shelf life as long as it is not open before & store in a cool dry place..

"Car oil" shelf life-4 to 5 years, that's unopened!

tranceformer--Trannie oil that old, I would not use!
