This thread is started for Red Line Oil Products enthusists that would like to brag about and share their experiences with these products, especially motor oil.
I do not use any of the these products because of cost, but are considered by many as definitely high end boutique products.

I use the oil . it has made my hemi tick almost non existent.its expensive but a small price to pay for a lot less engine noise and better protection.

I use it in the engine and rear differential. The engine is much quieter on start up and at operating temp.

New to red line oil. Is it a full synthetic oil. Been hearing people talk about it. My truck is still on the 2 yr. free oil changes from where I bought it. I am thinking about trying it, where do you buy it and what is a good price for it. Don't want to pay more than I have to for it . What's the best oil filter to use with it and how many quarts do I need to buy to fill up the Hemi .

yes it's full synthetic more than most.i bought mine on Amazon 90$. 7 quarts with wix or k&n filter . I use the k&n cause it easier to get off with the nut on the bottom .the filter is kinda a pita to get off.

Redline is on the thicker side of the weight on the bottle so if you're looking to stick with the factory recommended 5w20, Redline is thicker than most other 5w20 oils so you can't go wrong with their 5w20.

However I would recommend going with their 5w30. I haven't run it yet but I can tell you my truck is much quieter all around on a 5w30 oil. It even says in the 14+ owners manual that "5w30 may be used if 5w20 is unavailable".

I have Redline Gear Oil in both diffs and am about to switch my trans over to Redline C+ in the near future.

My only concern with Redline products is the mixed info on whether or not RL damages seals due to their high ester formula...

Well it will be awhile before I use it since I'm still on the free oil changes still. Maybe when it's time we will know more about if it damages the seals or not.

Recently discovered that Red Line is part of the Phillips 66 family, either as a subsidiary or actual corporate division.

Got the maintenance print out at dealership based on actual vin #.
It shows checking the rear differential oil every 20k miles with 5.7L.
