Switched from syn3 to Redline Shockproof Heavy yesterday. Good move, I'll be staying with it. Thanks to all who woke me up on this one.

Is this the redline shockproof heavy gear oil or the redline vtwin transmission w/shockproof you are talking about. http://www.redlineoil.com/product.aspx?pid=119&pcid=13

Is this it?

I was asking this same question until yesterday, I got my answer. I emailed the Redline Rep. that post on here with answers to questions about Redline oil. I had noticed when buying the gear oil, The label that read Shockproof Heavy was in the gear oil section and was in a white bottle. The V-twin Transmission oil was in a dark Brown bottle. He said both were the same. I order mine from racerpartswholesale.com I don't have a Dealer close to me that sells Redline oil. Hope this helps!
