I'll look into the MT fluid as well I have been thinking about switching. I will say I have heard good things about Redline so I won't knock it.

No need to do anything for me. If you want to share your findings after the oil is analyzed, I would recommend doing it on the BITOG forum, or one of the threads here that discuss such results. I am not trying to give you a hard time (I think you may be taking it that way), but just sharing my experience. Most RP users with VQ engines that have had their oil analyzed by Blackstone have not reported great results, or mixed results at best. I don't think I would say it is a bad oil, but the general consensus is that for the price, you can do better.

Just search "Blackstone" in this forum, and you will find several threads that discuss UOA results (including some for RP and Redline). The Bob is the oil guy (BITOG) forum is probably the best overall place to find good information on oil.
