Redline carries no API cert, I use Redline oil it's a great oil in my opinion. Most blends of Amsoil and Royal Purple carry no API cert. These are great oils in my opinion as well.
I would have no hesitancy in using any of the so called 'boutique' oils in any of my vehicles. If their is any...
As none of my vehicles are new I would have no issue using Amsoil, or Redline for that matter. If I were to have a new vehicle, to avoid any issues or questions I would use an oil that satisfied the Mfg. requirements, and change it within the Mfg. specified requirement.

After inspection I discovered the front driver side caliper leaking fluid. I replaced the caliper, and bleeded the entire system.
The entire brake system was...
I'm tempted to try this in my ranger...But I just couldn't put it in the Mustangs/Corvette.
