for shear stability, oxidative stability, film strength and a strong add pack, Redline is the way to go. Others may suffice, but none will lubricate or protect from wear as well as Redline.
I've heard it all too many times.
Those "cheap n nasty" oils, if they carry real specs on the bottles, that means they have passed INDEPENDENT TESTS.
I invite you to PROVE your statements.
For the OP: afaik, the latest Porsche A40 tests include a "hot autobahn shutdown" test for turbos.
This was discussed here
Those real specs are just met, at the bare minimum, by large corporations with the liquid cash to buy the tests & certs.
Redline far exceed the specs but don't buy the testing
