I used Redline in my bike, and it ran about 20 degrees cooler. I like it.

Mine are going in today,but I went with Royal Purple. JBA Racing, which is Steeda for the west coast uses only Redline and they swear by it.

Redline is great. I actually like it better than Royal Purple.

Redline is the best. The shop that builds my Toyotas runs it in everything. Redline is one of his racing sponsors, great stuff. I have used it in my Supras and my WRX.

Redline is 10x better than royal purple. If I am not mistaken it is the only 20 weight that can pas the ads-3 test. Or something like that.

I just searched and couldn't find any such ads-3 test and redline's website doesn't even mention it
as well as it has lower anti-ware treatment compared to RP and as REDLINE is SM you shouldn't use it if you ever plan to use an aftermarket cam as far as the motor oil goes
but yes I would consider Redline to be a good oil in the high proformance catagory
IMHO there are a few catagorys of oil
Convintional (crap oil only good for seating the rings)
Blend (its ok if you don't care much)

Full synthetic (good stuff)
Valvoline Syn power
Castrol Syntec
ect

High Performance Full Synthetic (Great stuff)
RP
Lucas
Redline
and a few others

and BTW if you changing out the R&P you might want to get a new diff cover one with a fill and drain plug so it'll be easier to drian the fluid
