Redline physical property data

Here's a PDF with some data for RL street oils.

Check out those HTHS numbers. If I had to use a 5w20 oil, the 3.3cp for the 5w20 doesn't look too bad.

...Higher than M1 10w30

Althought I have to wonder if they are simply creating these new grades simply due to customer demand because of new car recommendations. I mean if Red Line thought 5w20 was useful for street, wouldn't they have made it a long time ago?

They're doing it because Ford and Honda is tricking ppl to think 5W-20 is needed.

Stick with 5W-30.
