I would add it to ANY fluid, even the overpriced Royal Purple.

:D OK cool. Thank you. So obviously in your opinion the stock fluid is just fine......and RP or Redline or Amsoil provides no additional benefits? Looking for opinions. Thanks :seeya

It does not require the additive but I put in in anyway when I put in my 3.90's.
By the way Royal Purple is very good stuff.

You don't need the additive with RP. I used it in my C5 and I'm about to put it in my Viper :yesnod:

Overpriced :confused: It's less expensive then the GM crap and around the same price as Moble 1 after you purchase the additive.
