HuhHuh, I don't know if the YamaLube makes it "better". I can say its 
smell is slightly noticable it in the exhaust, but it doesn't make my 
hair and clothes REEK of burned oil like the typical junk sold for power 
equipment. And it's under $10/qt vs > $15/qt for RedLine. And it's a lot 
easier to find on a local store's shelves vs RedLine.

I am a huge RedLine fan tho -- run it in my transmissions, just dumped 
2qts in the Lexus' rear diff last weekend, and use the "Lightweight 
Shockproof" in the bike's rear drive case.
