Motor oil

Redline.

“We are well aware of the problem and we still use the correct amounts of those additives in our products”. They are not producing API approved oils so they don’t have to test and comply. Their oils were NOT the “new, improved and approved” ones that destroy flat tappet engines! “We just build the best lubricants possible”. Sounds stupid, doesn’t it, New-Approved but inferior products, but it seems to be true for our cars.

I use Redline in my turbo car. Because the turbo is only oil cooled, not water cooled, I wanted something that would absolutely not break down at high temps. Got the added benfit of high levels of zinc.

Mike Miller, who writes the BMW car club tech column swears by this stuff. When I put their MTL in my Trans and Gear lube in my final drive, I honestly got increased gas mileage over a 6 month period. About .3 mpg. Not much, but measurable. Great products, but you have to plan ahead, as you can't get it at Wally World.
