Don't knock it until you try it, and you'll see immediately what we are talking about. For 10%+ increase in performance for $75 you cannot buy a more cost effective performance mod for the FRS/GT86/BRZ.
I did try RP once and saw absolutely no difference. You have a healthy imagination if you think your oil can make a 10% performance improvement. Troll on pal troll on.

I think the main point here is that he did his 1st oil change at 12k miles. I believe ANY oil would make the car drive better at that point.

EDIT: nvm, he said 2nd oil change. no idea when the 1st oil change was at. still have a lot of miles on the oil though. my 2nd oil change was at 5500 lol
