Engine oil RED LINE or Motorex

Motorex Engine oil

At the end of the day, pretty much anything in spec will work fine.

That being said, I did a bunch of research for my V85 and determined that Motorex Cross-Power does the best in high demand applications. Air cooled engines can have a really wide temp range. That's what I use.

Pros: best in high demand

On chilly winter mornings (SF Bay Area) the car did not like reverse or first gears. Subsequently switched to Red Line engine oil. More power, better mileage.

Pros: more power, better mileage
Cons: car did not like gears

Ran Redline 5w40 when it became purely a summer car in ~2013. ... Not seals are leaking, no issues of any form. Car has been Cobb stage 2 91oct tuned (OTS, not pro-tuned) almost 14 years, with a Crawford v2 AOS, Killer B oil pickup + windage tray being the only reliability mods, and it doesn't burn a single molecule of oil.

Pros: no leaks, no issues, no oil consumption
Vehicle: Subaru
