Is this synthetic oil? anybody run this?

 

i recently purchase some amsoil. I'm trying that out

 

Get the notebook out...it's oil debate time.

Actually there was some good info on Redline in that huge Mobile One SuperSyn thread.

 

go here for all your oil questions:

how much is it per qt??

 

Heard good things about Redline oil and Motul. Redline seems to be more accessible.. I think either one would be a good choice..

 

I paid $8.00 per quart

Balk if you want but it beats spending $80 on a stupid shift ****

 

Redline rules... 10W-30, here. I paid $7.30/qt - by the case.

I actually reduced my oil consumption from 1 pint / change to <negligible> / change.

 

Just got my first shipment of 5w30 in... can't wait to try it out (it's going in this weekend)

 

Comptechusa.com has it for $7.99 a quart. I might have to look into this.

 

how is the 10 30 race redline in turbo applications

 

Redline created over 2 times more wear than mobil1 for me, but the cause is debatable. More ITR owners need to test it, but as it stands, I wont be using it anymore.

I pay $5.25 shipped per qt for Amsoil and from the reading I did like amsoil better. This is a marginal difference Redline and Amsoil are the only 2 syntheics I woud use. After that good old castrol GTX is my 3rd choice.

 

i think i get redline from 1 of these 2 places- i'll look at my home PC and post then

$8 (shipping included) from auto-oil.com
or manhonda.com has it for $6.95 per quart +S&H

 

redline 10w30

 

redline came out pretty back. Amsoil looked better after the oil change.
But maybe since i put in redline first it cleaned all the crap out of my engine but who knows. I used amsoil after that exclusively. I paid around 6 bucks a quart.
Changed every 2k miles.
Just my 2 cents.

 

too rich for my blood. Have heard mixed reviews too.

I'll stick with my OTC Mobil 1

 

just bought 4 1 gallon jugs for 120 of race 10w30

 

what do you mean by 'pretty back'?
do you mean black? if so, redline is a very dark colored oil out of the bottle. (as oppossed to mobil1 which is very amber) i wouldn't worry too much about the color of it when you drain it

 

Mixed reviews on what? I have not heard anything bad about Redline, Motul or Amsoil but I can't say the same for Mobil1. Mobil1 is thin and burns off really easy.

 

How did this happen? Really curious.

 

I paid $4.00 per quart for my redline oil, GREAT STUFFF!!!! you WILL notice the difference when you put redline in,, i hope i convinced you to buy some
