Blackstone - used oil analysis
Well, until and unless Conoco-Phillips messes with a good thing, it remains Red Line 5W-30 / 5,000 mile OCI for me. Ever more evidence. Hoping for a few HPL UOA's here.- HEMIMANN

10W-30 has less VII additive to shear down into deposits, but less cold start pumpability.- HEMIMANN

I dunno, NASCAR kinda turned into hothead bumper cars for me. I like seeing disassociated hydrogen roaring out of straight pipes at night. Pixelating cockpit cams are pretty wild going to 330 mph in under 4 seconds. With computer control, very few engine blows these days, and even then they...- HEMIMANN

I generally watch NHRA. Was outside all day yesterday, it was so nice for a rare change here on the tundra. Those that know me aren't surprised I'm an NHRA guy.- HEMIMANN

For the guys who think deactivating the mds via a tune is a good idea
Ok, I have not worked on that machine element, but I will say that plastic lifter yokes visually appeared to be a higher quality plastic in terms of resistance to wear, heat, and vibration. It appears to be polyphenylene sulfide, or PPS, as it's known. I do not KNOW if that is what it is, but...- HEMIMANN

Can't make blanket statements for all parts. Each part should be designed to meet the functionality, reliability, and durability targets set for the product. I worked in engineering, marketing, sales, and product line management, co-authored many product and technical profiles back in the day...- HEMIMANN

Diesel or Gas?
And since you drove they all got complicated chemical factories and controls on their exhaust. No thanks.- HEMIMANN

For the guys who think deactivating the mds via a tune is a good idea
I swapped plastic yokes for billet on my Harley when upgraded cam. Plastics have no endurance fatigue limit and age harden. But - they're cheap! Even the more expensive composites, compared to billet metal. Thr lifter guides in the bike looked like polypheneylenesulfide PPS, which is about as...- HEMIMANN

Keep in mind there have been a number of failure pictures on here showing rollers that not only skidded but turned in their bores to wipe out cams. That's not due to a soft cam.- HEMIMANN

Official Redline SI-1 thread.
Sure as $hit, on the way home from hunting property yesterday, we re-routed to evade the storms and there wasn't a single Top Tier branded fuel station for 250 miles. Kwik Trip took over most of the region, and of course dumped Top Tier Certification during the pandemic and never went back...- HEMIMANN

Official Redline SI-1 thread.
If Red Line left their contact form up on their website you could send your question and see if or who responds. Weren't they going to move their OG California operation somewhere per owner Phillips-Conoco?- HEMIMANN
