Question 1

I readon bobstheoil guy that this does not stand up to short trip drivng? Any thoughts?

Accepted Answer

This oil (Red Line 5W30 Motor Oil - Full-synthetic Ester Formula Car Engine Oil) is still one of the best oils available, and it will certainly stand up to short drives.  Automobile engines, on the other hand, don’t like short drives, because it’s not enough time for the engine to warm up to proper operating temperatures.  Engines don’t like to be run cold.

Question 3

how does redline oil do in cold temperatures?. I have used mobil 1 and pennzoil synthetic but wanted to know before giving this a try

Accepted Answer

I have been using this oil for over 10 years. I live in the Mid-Atlantic state area. I've tried Mobil 1 and Pennzoil. Redline works better.  All 3 pour the same in winter. My engines burned more oil with the other 2. Redline works well in high mileage and/or over 4 yrs old. I put about 5k miles on each of my 3 cars per year. I change the oil 1 time per year.  I would rather spend a lttle more per quart and change less often. The only draw back is I found is, once you start using it you have to keep using it or you burn oil.

Question 4

Has anyone used this oil in an ecoboost F150 just bought a 2019 2.7 and It’s almost time for first oil change

Accepted Answer

redline unlike other oils it don't shear in turbos. which makes it one of the best oils to use in the ecoboost. I use it in my (f350  which is a 2010 6.4 compound turbo diesel 15w40). i also use in my 2013 (mustang 5.0 not turbo 5w50)  and my wife's (2019 ecoboost 2.7 turbo 5w30) all my vehicles I have gotten new and all ran with the oil it came with for 500mile for breakin time then I went to redline. I  have never had a problem with redline and all my cars but the diesel I change the oil every 10,000 miles. The truck I change every 15,000 mile and the oil looks the same as it did going in but just a little darker. I  also use the full synthetic oil filter because the filter Is alot better such as wix xp. Hope this helps
