Engine oil VALVOLINE or RED LINE

Redline 5w30, the best

Valvoline VR1 for the track car. Valvoline VR-1 is a very highly reviewed oil with a high zinc content to keep race engines running with very minimal wear.

I believe the final takeaway was that Valvoline Max protection was the best

I just switched to Valvoline EP 0w20 after using Mobile 1 all my life, for a very important reason...

...the easy to open top with a built in pour spout. So good.

For this reason I run Valvoline 20W-50 VR1 which has high zinc and phosphorus to deal with the extra loads the flat-tappets put on the camshaft vs roller tappets.

If you can use Redline 5w30, go right ahead. You will not have an issue. I call Redline the guarantee oil. I can pretty much guarantee that you will never have the dreaded lifter tick. It has been known to quieten a ticking engine too.

I’ve used a few but the best for me is mopar oil filter and Valvoline full synthetic.

It's recommended by Nissan to use ester based oil. I use redline 5w-30. Pricey but I feel the difference and motor runs flawless imo

Using Redline 5w-50 on my E90 M3. it's supposed to have a similar viscosity at high temps as most 60wt oils. Comes up to operating temp faster and doesn't overheat.

I’ve been using Valvoline full synthetic with a KN filter. Never had an issue
