Im curious. When he says it is amazing, exactly what is he referring to?..

Ive tried all kinds of engine oil and I cannot say a single one 'felt' any better than the other..

I have been using Royal Purple HPS for years and have been very happy with it. Never tried Redline so can't say anything about it, but I see no reason to switch from RP since it's a great oil (though not cheap at around $100 for 12 quarts).

I tried Redline over 10 years ago and honestly can't remember much about the oil, but have nothing bad to say against it neither.
