Royal Purple Synchromax

Hello fellow Fitfreaks,

Just wondering if anyone has run this fluid in their cars?
Reason why I'm asking, is because I have decided to replace the manual trans fluid on my 2016 but heard great things about this fluid.
After perusing the reviews on Amazon, it seems that other Honda owners with the 6 speed manual have also noticed a difference.

Amazon.com: Customer reviews: Royal Purple-ROY01512 ROYAL PURPLE SYNCHROMAX QT. TRANSFLUID, 1 Quart (32 Ounces) Amazon.com: Customer reviews: Royal Purple-ROY01512 ROYAL PURPLE SYNCHROMAX QT. TRANSFLUID, 1 Quart (32 Ounces)

Anyone else try it? if so, any improvement/change in shifts?

thanks in advance

Just thought I'd update this thread as I've recently made the switch to the RP trans fluid.
After a few days with it, the shifts have progressively gotten easier/smoother, and at speeds around 40-50 mph, the powertrain seems more "muffled".
The reduced engine noise could be because of the motor oil change, but I'd be willing to bet most is because of the trans fluid (only 1500miles on motor oil).
