Default Red Line Oil

Just took in my car for an oil change with Red Line. This stuff is great. Noticed more ease in acceleration and quieter engine too. Highly recommend. Anyone else experienced these changes too with Red Line?

Question: If you took your car 'in', how do you know they put in the redline? If it was 'uncles' shop yea im sure you could watch, if you went to the stealer and gave them the bottles... well... i doubt the stealer would let you in the back due to liability concerns. I dont trust the monkeys in the back and neither should ne1else.

As for your comments about 'feeling' a difference, hey who cares if it MIGHT be just psycological, as long as you feel good about it, thats all that matters

Oh yea, i use the purple stuff

RedLine oil is outstanding, but the chance that it made a measurable change in acceleration is unlikely. The placebo effect is pretty strong.

I've been running Red Line in a wide range of applications for the last 18 years. I've never experienced what you are describing. Ever.
