Redline 0w-20 vs 5w-20

[buster]

I should have a good sample of the 0w-20 in a few weeks. Lot of cold starts and high speed driving. The Mazda runs great on this oil. I may keep it in a bit longer and run it to 12,000.

What do you mean German Pennzoil blows Mobil 1 out of the water?

I'd go 5w30 in balmy, subtropical Alabama.

Keep in mind that I am moving to South Alabama, so winters are not a big deal. I thinking, that because its easier to find, 5w-20 is a better choice over all, but I dunno.

0w-20 5w-20

100c 8.2 9.1
40c 43 55
VI 166 145
Flash 216C 251C
NOACK 9 8
HTHS 2.7 3.3

Normally I would go for the 0w-20, but the Flash, Noack and HTHS make me like the 5w-20 better.

Also, is the VI so high on the 0w-20 because it has more improvers?

Thanks


5W-20 gets my vote

I may try the 5w20 next and compare them.

I'm tossing these two oils around in my head myself, along with sticking with Amsoil ASM. I have until June to decide. I like the Red Line 0W20, seems the 100c numbers for the ASM are a touch higher.

I've tried ASM. Worked great. I like the lower viscosity of the RL, higher ester content and the way the car sounds and feels at high rpm's. Great for cold weather too. Definitely overkill though.

I'm going to run Redline 5w20 next to compare to the 0w20. The 3 sees high rpms quite often.

Why do the Grammar Police always correct Mobile1, but they don't correct Redline?
