Does a car need to be a "classic" or "hot-rod" to benefit from the "rust and corrosion inhibitors" in this oil, if the car is not driven often, and could sit for extended periods? I have a Honda S2000, which I don't have time to drive as often than I'd like... it can sit a week or two without...

so, for a car that originally spec'd 10w30 (in '99), with the manufacturer knowing many owners would use dino, it seems either Redline's 5w20 or 0w30 would be a better fit, given the 3.2-3.3 HTHS, than the 3.8 of the 5w30 and 10w30. regarding this line: Quote: RL 5W-20 is heavier than RL's...

Originally Posted By: Steve S What engine are you putting it in and how is the engine used? That would be how I would chose the oil. How about for a Honda S2000, very low total annual mileage, but a number of autocross events, perhaps one track day, and an annual oil change?

Originally Posted By: A_Harman I say use the 5w20. It will be more resistant to shear than the 0w30. Many on BITOG say that Redline's 5w20 is impervious to viscosity loss due to shear. If you look at the ratio of HTHS to KV100 for both oils, you will see that the 5w20 retains a higher fraction...

Slalom44, after I had posted the link to compare with your UOA, which I believe was the first for an RDX posted here, I tried to edit my post to add some comments, but too much time had elapsed and I lost my text. The basic points were the same as you have noted - we both ran our OLM down to...

For comparison, here's slalom44's UOA from a couple years ago, which made it to 6k miles: http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1409140

This is my wife's 2007 Acura RDX, which is primarly used for her short daily commute, as well as general weekend errand driving. The car sees much more city driving than highway, which I believe is the cause of the OLM running down so quickly - 5% life showing at 2756 miles, which was around 9...
