Redline 20W60 ???
Today at the Gruppe-S dyno day I won 12 bottles of Redline 20W60 motor oil. Is it okay to run this in my 2.5RS with 93K miles? Typically I run 5W30 or 10W30, just wanna know if this stuff will be okay or will do any harm.

No way dude. 20W is HELLA thick...

I've run 15W50 Mobil One, and It literally dropped my cars gasmilage to the dumpster and make the car feel slower, that's for sure... Now, It was well protected, especially while i'm auto-Xing, but I've realized that 10W motor oil is damn thick enough...
