Good old Delo 400 LE is holding its own though.
Absolutely Redline IS a track/high performance-street type oil for harsh shear stress, contamination and temp conditions. They (redline and other specialty blenders) don't sit back and develop products just to meet Joe six pack's putzer whims or various lackluster engineering, via unforeseen circumstances in many cases, OEM specs (read as operation oops I need a slow bleed type bandage to get me through warranty period or to make CAFE/emissions). Also Ben I do agree with you that good old Delo 400 (CI-4+ and CJ-4LE) is a solid lubricant for the price point and performs well in gas and diesel engines.
