I know a guy that swears by RP in his turbo Subaru that has 340+ hp on the ground. I'm sure RL is great as well.
RP is PAO and Group I with RP's Synerlec additive.
Redline is Group V Polyol Ester with some PAO and a lot of Moly and probably ZDDP. But overall a lower % of additives.
POE doesn't need Viscosity Improvers...with the exception perhaps of the 5W-40.
POE handles high temps very well and doesn't shear or oxidize.
POE also behaves dynamically like a thicker oil, and has a low evaporation rate.
So Redline is a unique oil, and my experience using Redline in street cas has been very positive. I think that I drive cars hard and I think Redline is better than any other oil I've tried.
I see lower oil temps, lower oil consumption, and the engines run much smoother even at WOT with Redline. The UOA's have been good with Redline and the engines have held up beautifully even with hundreds of thousands of miles of hard driving.
I still have 40 quarts of GC 0W-30 to use up and some Elf 0W-30 to try....as well as 60 qts of Pennzoil Platinum. And I need to order some of the Amsoil 0W-20 and their filters. But I just ordered 72 quarts of various Redline oils and gear lubes. Redline is still my favorite.
I also like the Specialty Formulations MTL I tried, but it is not available right, but the Redline gear lubes have always been great.
I've always had good luck with Redline products.
. I've heard some comments about Redline but could not find anything definitive through the search function. Is Redline ok for a street machine with drain intervals in the 8-10k mile range? The car is a MINI Cooper S that is pushing near 15 lbs of boost at redline. I already use their MTL and am very impressed with it. I plan on keeping this car for a long time so I want an oil that's going to keep it running strong. Any comments are welcome.
