I run until the cars says change, around 12.000kmI do 10,000 km or 6215 miles on any synthetic. I would at least run your Redline that far or you are wasting money IMO. Many people run it longer.

All the oils bellow are blended without VII. You could say that the 5W-30 Euro is a better version of Red Line 5W-30 with a beefier additive package, POE, Esters, and AN. Come to think of it, it is better.
As how it's made without VII, it comes down to four simple letters: mPAO.

Hemi395 is running valvoline 0w20 right nowHas anyone tried Valvoline or Havoline in their trucks?
Would like to see what his take on it is. Seem like it is a better choice than Castrol in terms of the moly content - although I hear that Castrol's additives are more designed to protect the engine against wear differently. Seems like it has more moly than even PUP.Hemi395 is running valvoline 0w20 right now
Seriously? So I'm guessing that it is no better than Castrol or PUP in terms of Moly content..The professional series is a complete waste of money dont buy it. Its generic shelf oil
Exactly. But you pay more for it due to the redline name. The high performance redline in the round white bottle is the one to getSeriously? So I'm guessing that it is no better than Castrol or PUP in terms of Moly content..
Good post. Thanks for sharing.
I think you're right and I think many YouTubers who tackle this issue do it for views, including Uncle Tony and Reignited. To me it's a manufacturing related issue that can be kept at bay given proper maintenance. I'm not going to sleep over having to idle the engine to warm it up or spend stupid amounts of money on fancy engine oil. Though HPL sells proven products and they do work. Having Dr. leslie rudnick formulate their oils and working with the likes of NASCAR are some very strong credentials.He contradicts himself. You can't say "don't idle it" while also saying that lack of crank lubrication isn't an issue. If high idling hours was part of the problem, then that would only be the case because the crank isn't flinging enough oil at idle.
This is how the myth keeps growing. Guys on YT just running in circles contradicting themselves and each other.
Does that mean that you won't be using Amsoil anymore?I dropped AMSOIL for good by the way.
no doubt and credibility went out door pretty much when he was referring to failed cams as what the hemis are known for.(not failed lifters being initial culprit) Also the fact of him saying then why does GM have same lifter failures? Yes they had/have ton of failed lifters but those were mostly due to subpar parts is why they actually came out with a bulletin about it, subpar parts getting subpar oiling. Dealerships have constant stock of the replacement lifters for this reason.He contradicts himself. You can't say "don't idle it" while also saying that lack of crank lubrication isn't an issue.

You know what I find interesting is that GM actually admitted to the possibility of failed lifters due to insufficient oil during cold start. Hmmmmm
At least they admitted what Ram will not.

Wouldn’t a design flaw affect every hemi ?Does that mean that you won't be using Amsoil anymore?
When I comes to the tick, I'm still convinced that the lifter tick isn't due to a design flaw, but a lubrication issue caused because manufacturers took the cheapest route better mileage and EPA ratings. GM, FCA (Stellantis) and even Ford are all guilty of this.
This is why this thread exists. To help us sort it out ourselves and the best lubrication for our engines.
There should be a better solution than asking users to use expensive oils in their engines. However, you can't ignore the fact that quite a few users on here will testify to the merits of using Redline. HPL does seem like an appealing alternative.
For me right now, the goal is prevention. The hope is that by using thicker oils from known brands like Pennzoil, Mobil, Valvoline or even Castrol and having shorter change intervals, will achieve this. For some users it does seem the case, although none of them face the hot weather that I do here in the Middle East (+49.C - over 50.C)
Right now I'm using Castrol Magnatec. I would like to get it tested and I'm looking into options for that.
