Opinion on Red Line Oil???

[joe_mama71]

I have a 02 Saleen with a KB 1.7 blower. Kenne Bell reccomends using red line oil with gains of around 15hp.. Anybody agree/disagree with that??

Using Redline as a what.. a gear oil for the KB or engine oil? Regardless, your not going to see 15hp from oil. A modest gain of 1-3hp from synthetic seems possible, but that's tops. I used Redline in my KB when I ran out of the KB green stuff.. both oils seemed good. I use Redline in my tranny & rear-end, but usually Mobil 1 for the motor.

Was talking about for engine oil, but I have considered doing the Redline power package which gives you engine oil, tranny, rear diff, fuel cleaner, and wetter water.....

Oh yeah you get a stickers and a Redline Shirt!!!!

Redline makes good stuff. If I didn't get such a good deal on Amsoil it's what I would most likely be using.

Redline is great stuff. Have run it in my 04 GTO, my 97 383/N20 WS6, and my now comparatively slow 96 GT. Two thumbs up...but you won't see 15hp...

Thanks guys, good feedback... I wasnt really expecting 15hp gains like they promised.. Could any of you guys who used it tell the difference between Red Line and conventional oil???

Yes I can tell the difference between Redline and other synthetic oils (i've never had conventional oil as long as I owned the car except at dealer delivery of the car).

Redline is good oil, I personally prefer Royal Purple, and I could notice a small boost in power
