Red Line users, do u recommend it?

If miles get credit, the first 50,000 were on Syn 3 because I worked at a Dealership so it was cheap.
The next 65,000 have been on Mobil 1 and the bike still uses no oil between 5,000 mile changes. So I'm seriously sold on Mobil.
But when it's hot outside, I'm tempted to find a "summer" oil. maybe a Red Line 20w/60 just to quiet down the valve train. Mobil 1 is noisy!

Red line is far beyond mobil 1 in the quality of their basestocks and additive packages,availability is the issue. It's hard to find.
Mobil 1 15w-50 and the v-twin flavors are a group 3/4 blend basestock.
Red line uses group 5 basestocks which is as good as it gets,then their additive packages are much stronger than any oil mobil makes publicly available.
Mobil has to play by the API rules whereas red line,mobil,royal purple and other blenders don't.
Now does a regular engine really need all this tech in the oil,probably not but if your going to pay top dollar at least get what your paying for.

All gear lube does. Im using the shockproof and its pretty good stuff, she still clunks into first at a stop, and still bangs pretty good while changin gears.

i remember that also, the gears weren't to bad, but the bearings he said looked the worst, like they weren't getting enough oil to them. but i still run it for now with the formula+ in the primary and 20/50 brad penn oil for the motor. now you have me thinking again (LOL)
