Default Anyone using Redline 20 60 engine oil?

Thinking of putting in Redline 20 60 in my motor and wanted to see if anyone else has tried it and what the results were. I live in South Florida so it's always HOT.

I admit, after reading the oils section here and interpreting what an additive engineer added about oils, I know less than I ever thought I knew. This said, Your choice should be a good one. I'm not fond of the thought of Fifty plus dollar oil changes just for the crankcase every three thousand or so. However I did purchase Castrol's new V-twin rated synthetic blend in a 20W50 for just a few bucks less than the Redline. After reading more about oils on the forums, I think the next change is going to be their Castols X-TRA 4T synthetic blend. It is half the price of the V-Twin 4T. I have been a faithful Castrol user for Thirty-five years now, and don't plan on changing.
I hope bumping this to the top with my statement might bring you yet another opinion.

I was going to try it just for summer until I found it is $15. quart around here. I am looking for a 60w for the Oklahoma heat, but not at that price. I'm tempted to go to the airport and see if they still sell 60w there. The older radial engines use it.

I just paid 10.99 for the Redline at a local speed shop. I agree 15.00 is over the oil spending limit.

These guys are here in Indianapolis. I go in there regularly to get my Redline supplies, they know their stuff and give good customer service in person. They have some pretty good prices as well.

I tried it and it seemed to work good, got it at Murray's Speed Shop (Miami,FL) for about $8.00/qt., guess they did not have too much demand for it, about 2 yrs ago.
