How Good Is Redline?

NeverBoneStck · 06-28-2012, 07:17 PM

I have been running redline and I change my oil at 7500 with plenty of additive left . I was running until 7500 and sent a oil sample to BlackStone .. They said everything looks great and run the oil til 10,000 miles .. If it looks good I will change every 10,000 .. I abuse my car daily ..

Times have changed & a lot of things have gotten a lot better over time (oil, engines & etc......). As the first quote stated the gentlemen changed his oil at 7.5k miles & abused his car daily & the analysis came back to run the oil until 10k miles. Everyone have there on opinion on when they want to change their oil. If you want to change your oil every week go ahead & do so.

Holy cow!! What type of filter were you using?

Redline is the best oil, period. I'm going to pick up 6 quarts of it today. 7,500 miles between changes is fine.

Update: Changed my oil yesterday. Not that we can really go by color...but I can definitely say it wasn't black...I would say...maybe a darker brown color lol.

Sending off my sample today to get tested. We'll see what they say about 6400 mile old oil!

Looking foward to this!

I still change mine at 3750 for that reason, but then it is pretty hard to get them to pay for anything under warranty

Supremee · 07-01-2012, 11:35 PM

HOLY shiettt. why 7000+? I dont see a reason to cheap out bro, be safe and change it at 3500.. maybe 4000 the most.

samb03 · 07-02-2012, 04:12 AM

from what I have researched, the full synthetic ie. Mobile One can go the distance. I still don't like going over 5K with it. The ester oils are a good lubricant but are short lived and need to be replaced every 3 like conventional oil

Sure thats rational for the non synth. The RedLine can go much further and we have posted UOA's here showing it.

Sending off tomorrow...should be a couple weeks before I get the report back.
