redline lspi friendly oil
Well there goes the neighborhood, but I do not know moly levels. If they are high, that would be a pretty good choice for an lspi quenching oil with the mix pao/III basestock.
Redline goes api sn+

Not surprising given the product line this falls under. It's likely just a "branded" CP item.
Not as special formula as the high performance, but likely a good choice for the di turbo's. Still don't know why they don't take the calcium down and mag up with blue label white bottle, but hey I'm not running stuff over there.

Maybe they are lying? Maybe it isn't dexos with pao and sn+. Oh my gosh, never considered that 1. While they were at all this lying I'm suprised they didn't say they put in synerlec as well. Good news is there are a lot of guys that know everything about oil here to quash all the fake news reldine puts out.

Amsoil also is heavy on the Moly and their XL/OE are API certified.
Just saying, how can a manufactorer say something is lspi friendly and not have something they are known for that is a lspi quencher? If you are gonna make an lspi formula, you should take out everything you can that are known causes of lspi, and put in everything you can that quenches lspi. I'm sure this formula and product line will evolve as it already has, it started as just two weights for low ash diesels, but none the less a little disapointing from the lspi point of view. Still good for the low ash crowd, but the growing segmant that are the di turbo crowd this is a let down. I wonder if he is even right on this email, I need to see a uoa or voa to even believe it.
I've said many times Amsoil SS is a great choice for the lspi crowd, don't need to go back and name all of the oils that are, just like we don't need to revisit that Amsoil has left a lot of hemi's ticking that the other redline formula cured. This is about this oil and imo redline missed the mark, as of now subject to verification.
