Another UOA, it looks like it maintained viscosity, but the Al was highest yet...

RL generally shows higher Al values. Some have said it is an additive. When I asked them, I was told no Al should be in there as an additive in a VOA.

 

[berlyn]

If this oil had more Zn and P,like Mobil V-twin,it would be the best there is.

Al is an additive in Red Line at least in this formulation:

However, it seems that formulations change constantly. I have seen Ti come and go in the Red Line formulation.

Redline's ZDDP content is certainly decent.
But if you want more simply buy a bottle of their 'Engine Break-in Additive' and you can custom tailor the Zn & P levels to whatever you want.

Red Line has consistantly been just a bit less in ZDDP than M1 Vtwin but look at the Moly. I'm thinking total package is hard to beat.
