RED LINE Engine oil

Wear values perfect ! Looks like Redline is lowering the Moly value some . Your nox is normal but new plugs or wires could help lower the values, Oxd is elevated by cleaning effect of the POE base and lab equipment hates Redline, no problems though. Second change on this oil will drop OXD values. As I said before I have not seen this formulation before but it looks ROCK solid. Good TBN retention.

Pros: Wear values perfect, good TBN
Cons: lab equipment hates Redline
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Mileage: 5000 km

Castrol Syntec 5W50 is what I use in my car, and it didn't burn any more oil or leak at all when I made the switch at around 123,000 miles... I change it every 4,500 miles or so..

Pros: no leaks, no burning
Mileage: 123000 km

Pros: solved temperature issue
Cons: temp was going haywire
