users of redline motor oil please read
today was the 1st time changing my oil after using redline 5w30. I put about 8,000km on the oil and while I was draining it today I noticed it was brown and not black. I dont know if im just being paranoid or not but does redline oil turn brown instead of black after use???
please comment

I made a thread a few years ago on this. From my oil analysis in my old ITR, redline created 3-4x more wear then mobil 1. Theres absolutely no way I would use it in a engine that you're not planning on rebuilding every winter.

I agree. I became too lazy to post my oil **** results but Pb wear was really bad for my engine with RL. I have since switched to German Castrol and the levels dropped significantly last time I had it analyzed. Seems to burn less as well.
