I've used both... both are great products. RP is a bit easier to find and costs a bit less. RL stuff is the best for trans and diff. though.

both are fine... edge to redline motor oil if you have solid lifters, otherwise whatever is easier/cheaper. mobil1 full syn is also great and is comparatively cheap.

Hydraulic is from the 90-97, solid is from 99+. Since you know you have hydraulic, you don't have solid lifters. ;)
