It is awesome oil and I wouldn't call the bottles "pretty", just ergonomic.
They are the only oil company I know of off hand that uses polyol ester base stocks in all of their motor oils and gear oils, all combined with an extremely stout additive package.
Lots of money, overkill in many applications, but an excellent product.

It's an awesome oil!! I hate the bottle though. Looks terrible.

Circa 2004, when Advance Auto Parts was clearing out Red Line oils, they had a bunch of it for $4/qt. I didn't know much about oil back then, and I passed it up because judging by the looks of the bottle, I thought it was overpriced junk in a cheap looking bottle.

Never heard of them till I got on here, grew up on havoline and valvoline stuff
Poly ester is extremely shear stable and has a superior clean ability, great for high temps and turbo'ed applications. IMO the best oil on the market
RedLine MT-90 is the fluid of choice for the Nissan manuals.
RedLine engine oils are also top choices for a lot of the new Nissan VQ series engines.
Just examples that I know of being into Nissans.
It's excellent stuff if you can find it.

Redline is great oil, but the price is just stupid.
Maybe the high price is why Advance took them off the shelf and it isnt in Wally World.

My sentiments exactly...My guess is that maybe only about 5% of the vehicles on the road need such an oil..possibly less...Its overkill and a waste of $$$ for the vast majority of vehicles out there.

...And the best part of jet turbine oil is it's 100C vis of only 3.5 - 5.0 cSt. It makes RL's 0W-20 100C vis of 8.2 cSt look like honey!
