Been running Redline for about 20K miles when I first made the switch I noticed that this oil was great at quieting down the valvetrain. Did not notice any cooler temps or better MPG's. Got this first sample done and I was not that impressed with the wear numbers. The viscosity, TBN, and Flashpoint numbers were great. I just switched to the Valvoline 20w50 synthetic MC oil and will test this as well. Can anyone tell me why most UOA done on Redline show increased Fe, and Cu numbers? I do have an oil cooler and bigger cam but after using this oil 20K miles and changing it ever 4k miles these numbers should be lower I would think.
