Engine oil VALVOLINE or RED LINE

I have to use high zinc oil, Valvoline VR1 is the only oil I can buy that has enough zinc.

I switched to Valvoline last oil changed and really like it. Feels more lively than when I changed it in the past (typically use dealer recommended Castro).

I use valvoline extended protection

This might be the best oil product of the century.. Valvoline Restore and Protect for gas motors.

I have the 6.4 liter Hemi in my Charger, and I switched from Ultra Platinum to Redline. My car uses 0w 40, but nonetheless, I have not seen or felt any difference between the 2. If you are worried about switching, I can assure you that Redline is a very high quality oil.

Trying the Valvoline protect and restore and it's been great

I , personally, like Valvoline products. I've opened up engines just to see sludge built up from not changing your oil or using cheap oil and not changing it enough. I have found that engines that used Valvoline oil were much cleaner on the inside. After many miles. Compared to other brands.

I am running Redline 0w-30 during the warmer months. It was the most reasonably priced group 5 ester base (with great reviews) that I could find. Oil temps during my last autoX event were down 15 degrees F, compared to a similar day with the factory recommended 0w-20.

My 07 Passat has 236k. I change oil every 5k, cam follower every 70-100k (20k is serious overkill), lots of coil pack changes (like 4 or 5), and that is about it.

Redline 5w-30 with an OEM filter. No issues and smoother start up.
