New Red Line Oil High Performance 0W-20 and 0W-30 API SP elemental analysis

[OVERKILL]

That pour point is surprising, would tend to indicate a lot less PAO in the oil. I also love how they shamelessly butcher the SAE grade.

Looks very Valvolinesque.

that's blasphemy speech right there. nothing can look better ugly

I think it looks more ConocoPhillips / Kendall / Motorcraft
Isn't it they................. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ who manufactures the SP version of Red Line?

..... or have things changed in 2023?

P66. Well, it looks like a lot of oils because they use similar additive systems. I'd say it looks close to Amsoil. Moly is reduced quite a bit and they've jumped to Ca/Mg blend with some Boron.

I'd be curious to run this just to see how it holds up now that it's a Mg/Ca blend with lower SA. I'd like to see how UOA's look with RL SP vs their old school high Ca blends.

Have they changed the additive package in their 0w-40 too?

Kinda irrelevant as this thread was started nearly 3 years ago. If you want consistent performance, the only place you’ll find that is the oil blender who doesn’t chase the cheapest component price in order to maximize profits. I’ll let you read some and come to your own conclusions since some members blindly claim fanboyism even when I remind most folks they may think they want “the best oil” when in reality “the best shelf oil at WM” may exceed the actual requirements of their application.

We’ve got some great site sponsors here… give them a shout with your wish list, let them advise you, and come to your own conclusion on the price/performance/availability value proposition of each offering.

That's not the answer to my question. Do you know if Redline has changed the additive package in their 0w-40 as well?
The numbers in PDS haven't changed, 0w-20 and 30 have.. A VOA should help as massive amounts of Ca and ZDDP mean the additive package hasn't changed either.

Looks like the good old Redline to me.

Redline is the only place who could tell you if the formula has changed. Nearly every “spec” sheet will use the disclaimer “typical specs” rather than “absolute” so they can always have an out in case some part of their typical blend is not available, or costs too much, etc. It’s why you can’t build a fluid from an SDS or spec sheet.

Unless you got confirmation in writing from P66 Legal Dept that the item you’re looking at hasn’t changed, bet on the likelihood that it has.

You can't say that for sure about any oil out there. That's why we have spec sheets to get an idea. If it wasn't for spec sheets this thread wouldn't exist. Their 0w-20 and 30 have changed for sure, the question is what about their 40.

 

[Gladiator007]

VOA of their 40 is on me. I will order a quart just for that purpose. 2,800 ppm Ca and 1,200 ZDDP are signs that it hasn't changed.

 

[Gladiator007]

Hopefully it looks like this
