I've heard good and bad things about the Red Line Oil. Is it true that JAY spun a bearing after using this oil?. Anyone using it?. I was just given 2 cases of oil by my local rep so I can run on my turbo car. Any experiences anyone??

With my experience and my buddy's experience with Red Line Tranny fluid. It sucks... it makes shifting smoother for a good 250 miles and after that hardens up and becomes really stiff... I wouldn't use or reccommend this stuff in a motor, muchless a turbo motor... I stick with Mobil 1 Synthetics... You'd be surprised how many motors I've seen taken apart that have used Mobil 1 and they're very clean...

I've been using Redline gear oil in my tranny for a year now and it has worked great. I use Mobil 1 5W-30 in the motor though. I have used both and haven't seen any differences. I'd go with Mobil 1 just because is way cheaper. No need to spend the extra $$ for Redline IMHO.

Ummh...? I'll have to think about it. I was considering it since the rep offered to supply me with the oil any time I need it. I'll let u guys know.
