Subject:      Redline motor oil
Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1

Hi all,

I am thinking about running Redline synthetic motor oil in Billy Bones.  Does anyone have any experience with this oil.  I grabbed the following information about it, but I'm not sure whether I would need the 20W50 after reading this.  Any ideas?

"Red Line 15W50 & 20W50: The ultimate high-temperature protection in Red Line engine oils recommended for street use. Good for engines that regularly run very high oil temperatures. Best for engines that run large clearances such as air-cooled engines or large-displacement, all-out racing engines that see occasional street use. Provides 25% more viscosity in bearings than petroleum 20W-50s. Not recommended for use in cold climates where temperatures are at or below 10°F or -12°C. Not recommended for street use in production engines that see sustained oil temperatures below 225°F. Those engines should use Red Line 10W-30 or 10W-40."

What do ya think??

Thanks
