Doing the oil change soon 30K 4th one..doing Redline or if not available Penzoil Platinum Ultra with Wix filter..might get that addative Lube Guard Bio Tech in a month when in USA...and add a little.

Still run it at -40 with no issues. Its almost 0w40 anyways.

For Idaho it is best to change oil right when winter turns cold maybe a week or two after and 0w30 redline has been the best, there is to be a new formulation and we don't know if it will be as good as the old version 0w30 redline.

Do we know what was changed in their formula yet?

These guys in Edmonton carry it Dave,and so far are the cheapest i've found it in Canada,but if you find it south of the border it'll be cheaper,so bring back lots,lol

@Burla had a response from Red Line about change to 0W-30 going to API SP and some ISLAC specs. I don't remember the details, maybe he'll weigh in, but the 100C vis was slightly lower, not a big deal. I think the moly was still up there, and maybe the detergent split went toward Mg more than Ca to suppress LSPI events in small motors. Not sure why anyone with a w h i z motor would use Red Line? Maybe part of the street racing scene?

Not sure anyone has pulled a VOA form the new formula either. All my inventory is original 0W-30 formula, otherwise I'd sure send a sample in.
