A guy was at our tech day, and he had the RP 75w90 and I had the Amsoil above. We installed mine first into my transmission, went in pretty easy with the hand pump.
The Royal Purple though was thicker and took a bit more to pump it into the transmission in his. That should tell you something about RP.

Not every fluid of a given viscosity rating has the same physical principals. This is why, for example, Mobil 1 oil, which is very highly regarded, often pours, almost splashing, vs other oils (synthetic or non) of the same viscosity. The hot and cold "scales" that they use are in different units as I recall (had this discussion with my engine builder once), and that's why some oils that should pour thinner, actually pour thicker. I'm sure whatever additives each maker uses affects things as well. I'm sure there is info out there on the web describing it in more detail

I stopped looking at sites like that a long time ago, because tests are very subjective, and it's very difficult to get a truly honest review. The tolerances of an engine will skew the test results, and this is something almost never taken into account. As is typical in the internet world, everything just gets painted with a broad brush, and that really doesn't yield meaningful info. So, I default to the people who are smarter than me, who put my stuff together, and I run whatever they tell me to run. Has not done me wrong yet in 18 years
