And thats just it, does Redline only excell in the racing market? Maybe their racing oils are what makes them so reputable.quote:
In raceing it is a one of the top dogs!
Indeed, as Terry Dyson just posted one yesterday on Redline 5w30.quote:

Sprintman, thats not true at all. Not even close. There were two excellent reports followed by multiple reports where soft metal reading were higher. Lead in many Redline reports was significantly higher then Mobil 1.quote:

Well said, I agree.quote:
Dont get me wrong, I've always felt that Redline was the best engineered oil on paper based on its specs, I just have a hard time translating how it performs with respect to lead and softer metal counts in daily driven street vehicles. I know its very highly recommended and used in the racing world which speaks volumes about its quality.
Bror, if you could scientifically prove that, that would be great. I just bought a case of Redline and I hope it works for the money I spent. More and more I'm becomming a bigger fan of Amsoil/Mobil 1 lubricants. I just don't see the advantage of spending money on Redline. And there has been, no doubt, far to many excuses for this oil. I really think certain people want certain oils to fail and others to be better to justify what they are using or bought etc.quote:
Back to the topic of Red Line oil and UOAs, keep in mind that certain oils are better at keeping all components in suspension than others. This may work against Red Line and for another oil which has a weaker dispersant ability (from base oil or additives).
