Are synthetic oils and lubricants any quicker

Alex, I only have 5.57 gears in my 12 bolt. My gear life is fine, but a 6.14 would likely not be as good. Was not as good with an aluminium spool. Took it out when I cleaned the splines out of the right side on the starting line at Memphis. Could not tell it was any faster than a Strange light wt steel spool anyway. 5lbs dif.

Need to get me some of that lube.
Thanks !!

Btw, you don't have a 5.86 12 bolt Pro gear set for sale, do you?
