Thats true i should be mentioning the time it could take. I tell people try redline what do you really got to lose? 100 bucks maybe? So what it dont work now you still gotta spent how much for cam and lifters??? Or maybe it does work now you just get more expensive oil changes but your tick free.So you are one for one? It is indeed mind blowing? A simple oil change stops so many knocks. Nobody else tried redline and it didn't work? Main thing, I'd say for about 1/2 people using it to kill tick give or take, it takes many miles for the EP additives to plate. That was the case with my truck for sure, I thought I wasted all this money on expensive oil and then 500 miles later it was quiet. Make sure you tell folks that upfront, it can be from 1 to 1,000 miles to go silant, and somewhere around 20% the ticks canot be quieted with lubrication. I have seen some threads at bob's when someone asks about an oil for a ticking hemi, and it seams like nobody suggests redline even though the regular "oil guys" at BITOG are well aware of many guys on this board and that board's success with this oil. These "true oil guys" (LMAO?) would rather hold-on to hangups on a brand then to actually help someone. They never embraced unbiased and random testing proving the stuff works. Many of us where kicked of boards or chased away, so in my opinion best policy is use a PM if you can. Point them to the threads here that are random guys in large numbers reporting when it worked and didn't.
Ive tried asking a few questions on redline and hemi tick a few years ago on bitog and got chased away saying "super tech will serve your hemi well" "just change your oil at the manu recomended intervals with the correct viscosity and you will be fine" "oil wont cure a broken part" "your engine doesnt know the difference oil is oil" i gave up on that site i just go there to see if theres any interesting uoas or new voas once in a while
