Yeah...same reason I switched. I love Amsoil...and so do my engines trannies and diffs. It just gets too expensive using the Amsoil engine oil with the oil change frequencies that I use ( Every 8,000KM ).
Rotella T6 here. I was a long time Amsoil guy, but it's just too fracking expensive, especially with the amount of miles I drive a week.
I'm running Amsoil in my 06 GTi and loving it. No trouble with that I can tell, I check dipstick every fillup occasionally have to add some but not a quart, not even .25 of a quart. I've got almost 72k on the clock I did my last oil change around 67500 maybe a little more, and oil is still clean. Car sounds no louder or different from oil dealer had put in it.
i run 5-40 amsoil in my VRT as well
Redline appears to be more interested in using the best additive package to make the best oil, not having to use pre-tested additive packages that may be geared more toward fuel economy.
It's a little more pricey but extends change intervals and has worked for me. Keeps engine temps a bit cooler as well.
Now i am referring to amsoil, Delo 400, mobil one turbo deisel truck oil.
in my Diesels i use amsoil or chevrons delco synthetic for heavy duty diesel engines.
i change at the extended interval and use only 100% synthetic oil usually Amsoil. I plan on using the same in my TDI at the normal service interval unless vw makes a full syn diesel oil
The zinc and phosphorus levels (ZDDP) is much higher in the redline. Iron per 1000 miles is much better. Viscosity retention and flashpoint are much better also.
