it says it right on the box and on their websites, i could careless about a used oil analysis report, that doesn't mean anything if you change your oil every 3750 miles

if you like redline, thats great, i dont really care
no need to flame and be a fanboy because someone disagrees with the price associated with redline

EDIT: after looking at your posts it just proves what i said, you're running your oil much longer than you really should be and all i see from your reports is redline is overkill for the engine, its like running a 34row oil cooler on a N/A 370z that rarely sees track time

EDIT2:
looks like mobil1 0w40 meets many higher ratings that redline 5w30 european oil dont meet
again i got this from just a simple look on both manufactures websites

That's another great thing about a UOA. They tell you what interval is safe to run based on the breakdown of the oil. What are you basing your opinion on the appropriate OCI on?

Lol thought this was America with Japanese motors

So you believe everything you read from a manufactures stand point? I don't! Give me a new or old sample of both oils and ill let BSL tell the story. I'm not being a fanboy. I want my stuff protected no matter the cost!! And BSL tells me RL has the most moly, zinc, and phos which are your micro lube protectors. Period, end of story. I'm not flaming. You stated an opinion and I simple asked for fact. You can't provide and instead you jump down my throat. Calm down sport.

Lol how I'm I running my oil longer than I should be??!! If anything I need to go longer to cut down on cost! Didn't think 3,000 miles was long. O wait let me guess! You're so pissed off and wanna come at me you're incapable of reading correctly and think miles on unit is miles on oil?? Or you just can't type while upset and meant to say I'm going way to short on changes?

Either way i again will pay more for better protection. If your 0w40 euro oil meets moly, zinc, and phos then ill switch. If it doesn't than its not worth it to me. These motors run hot, they've had some issues with vvel, so I'm protecting my engine period. If RL numbers are higher than yours than I'm protecting my engine better than you are. Does it mean we both wont hit 100k? I have no idea but I'm not looking to find out. If you are, good luck
