with aftermarket products such as "redline" and "royalpurple" would you say there is an increase in power? or is it longetivity? i amjust curious why to use them? what are there advantages?

If anything, I went with redline for the protection qualities. I dont know if there was a "oerformance" difference at all. It madea huge difference with my tranny at least.
