Oil Nerds Info

Take a look at the criteria that most of us want in an oil:

- Designed for high performance engines.
- Good high and low temperature protection.
- Ester based or Ester additives.
- Fully synthetic

Add in the the old saying, "You get what you pay for.", and then take a look at all the oils available. When you take a look at the entire lineup, there are only 2-3 that fit all the criteria.

Now, if you go to each of the manufacturer's site, they almost ALL seemingly meet the criteria. But will you get the warm and fuzzy feeling when you go to Walmart and spend $2.18 for a quart of "special formula, almost-synthetic, 'great value' oil"?

At the end of the day it's what YOU want to put in your car and you want to feel good about it. Redline fits all the criteria above while remaining "affordable" (albeit to some, it's still too much to spend). For me, spending $120 on oil every year is certainly affordable. Someone driving 30k miles in that same period may not feel the same, of course.
