Troy Jeup recommends Redline 5w50, and he's built more S85 and S65 motors than anyone else in the USA. Good enough for me. https://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1592340
From my research, there are plenty of good grade III, IV and V base stock oils. But true full-synthetic, grade V ester formulas are the best oils without any compromises (redline and motul). Expensive, but so is a motor...
Yep
Went 4+ years with Redline fill and low miles. Blackstone showed it was strong in TBN.
I have zero concerns about Redline in truly extended time OCIs.
Extended OCI is not RedLine cup of tea. It is not TBN, it is TAN.
You speculate. Redline is an optimal blend of Group 4&5. Do you speak as if it's all Group 5?
Show me a BSOA where Redline was in the red on TAN.
I have no concern with extended time/ low mile OCIs
