Looks like the fuel additive is already in something also.
Nice eye candy there.

That CV-2 is very good grease. I have several tubes in my garage.
What's the CV-2 for?

PP 5W-20, PP 5w30, M1 5W-20, M1 5w30. It always seemed to do a bit better with PP versus M1 and a bit better with 5w30 versus 5W-20, but the Red Line makes it sound like I stuffed pillows in the wheel wells. Dramatic difference!

That sounds very much like my experience going from M1 5w20 to TDT 5w40 on mine, or the 0w40 on mom and dad's. HUGE sound difference.

It makes me curious about what's accomplishing it. It's a genuinely major difference, I think the difference in my car would be obvious even to people that don't have the ability to "read" an engine.

That's like my dad. First thing he said was "wow, that is a LOT quieter", and I hadn't mentioned that it was going to happen.....
RL 5w30 has a healthy dose of moly in it - 950ppm.

I do think M1's 40 weights are the best oils in their lineup.
I disagree with that . Their 40wts are great but for the purpose they are designed for. I've used M1 oils for 31 years and their all very good for thair purpose. You can make a noisey engine quiter with STP or other oil thickeners. Both of my Fords are very quite with the 5-30. How quite? I can't even here the engine in the Fusion outside the car.

I would be willing to wager they would be notably quieter with Red Line if you aren't deaf. Regarding thickeners quieting an engine, RL 5w30 is actually thinner at temp than M1 5w30. I believe M1 0W-40 and M1 TDT are better overall formulations than their generic GF-4 20 and 30 weight siblings, which are nothing particularly special these days, IMHO.
And before you go on defending M1 5w30, remember that I'm the guy that posted these: https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/posts/1564814/
I'm a long time M1 user myself.

I had the Focus hood up the other day and noticed how clearly I could I could hear the injectors clicking. I have a stethoscope and place it on the valve cover and was very quite. Then placed it on the injector rail and could clearly here the injectors clicking away.
