Super chevy, you know I don't think you should worry about summer time towing, change to 5w30 for the summer and enjoy. If you check the data sheets you'll notice a difference between all of Red Lines 0wt fluids and the more familiar 5 and up wts. If you do add a bypass filter I think one thing...

Just phoned the lab and yes the soot number means 0.46% so I guess thats a good thing. The guy at the lab (Finning/Cat) was very nice and we chatted for a good 15 minutes, he seemed fairly up to date and when I mentioned I posted @ Bob The Oil Guy he was aware of the site and said he had browsed...

Two things: First, my experience show that you can reduce oil consumption as my 06 Corolla uses about the same amount of oil IF its filled with Toyota's 5w20 BUT I switch very early to RedLine 5w30 and zero consumption next oci and even at sustained high speed travels (70 mph 2800rpm) there is...

Nice info Saaber1, sweet. Pickled, I know for sure that the filter is realatively new and has good flow (it returns through the oil cap) and I currently have no tuner installed but am planning on buying one soon only to advance the timing for fuel mileage, there's no need for more power...

Sweet info from RedLine Ben99GT! Ya I do think that regardless of the average numbers Im gonna get every UOA, whether its 12ppm FE or 50ppm Fe its at 500,000 miles when U do the teardown and mike everything then U see the difference. I really do believe RL is gonna make a difference over the...

Dnewton3, I agree that the soot should be lower with a bypass filter but all that towing was done with a really plugged filter and I had no idea cause that stupid filter minder was saying everything was allright! I guess it bottomed out at the last bit of green before the red! A 30' enclosed...

This is the first UOA I've done on the truck and the second run of Redline, the truck has a Amsoil bypass filter and stock power levels, filters are all Cummins. I've used Delo before and I agree it is a great product, but Im gonna let this Redline have a couple more chances before I move on to...

This is the UOA for my 05 Dodge 3500, oil has 14000kms half pulling about 10000lbs. The oil condition was fine but they noted soot was elevated due to probably a restricted air filter, well I checked it and sure enough it was pretty filthy, it looks like the oil has thickened a little too, other...

I use it for both of my daily drivers, an 06 Corolla and 05 Dodge 3500 Cummins, its hard to say if it makes a quantifiable difference in MPG or smoothness and idle quality. The Corolla likes Redline in the transmission, very smooth definitly a winner, I use 5w30 in the engine and the only...

Overkill, I think your right about the flashpoint, I mean a good oil has good overall performance not just one shinny specification. I run RL 5w30 in my 2006 Corolla and RL 15w40 in my 2005 Dodge CTD, neither use any oil ever and startup is good on both and let me tell ya Fort ST John get lotsa...

MolaKule, Nice to hear from Ya! I really appreciate your posts a great deal and find them informative. I was hoping you would check my previous post "Making my own Hybrid fluid for G56" but I didn't get much feedback. As you can see from my posts here I DONT like ATF for MT. Some have quoted me...

Up here in Fort St John, BC everyone drives a truck and oilfield companies and businesses buy new trucks every year. To be honest there a real good mix of Ford Dodge and Chev. Cummins always is the real reason to buy Dodge except that they try to keep the Manual crowd happy, own one myself 2005...

Yes it seems RP Synchromax is a good alternative, I thought when I filled my Corolla that it was GL-4 and GL-5? I cant remember. If so then there should be a good amount of both EP and AW. My point was more along the lines of the fact that the most of the ATF trannies run fairly regular ATF...

Still wondering why manufacturers dont have a thin gear oil but with strong additive packages for EP and AW qualities. Take a look at VOA's and I believe even some of the better ATFs dont have NEAR the additives the gear oil SPEC'D for many transmissions. Half way through 2005 dodge changed...

Thanks for the imput guys! By the way this forum ROCKS I love just scrolling through ALL the different forum subjects. I guess I have an unsatiable desire to really find something awesome for the tranny! I cant help always feeling there's got to be something better, right? I'm a Construction...

I own a 2005 Dodge 3500 Cummins with a 6Spd manual, I dont like ATF for tranny fluid mostly because there are no EP additives and a lot less AW additives compared to regular tried and true gear oil. I was thinking of making my own fluid by mixing two different fluids to provide a better oil. I...
