Reviews of Red Line 11804 0W-20 Motor Oil - 1 Quart Bottle

Customer Ratings:

I drive a 2002 Corolla. It is notorious for losing oil. After tons of research I discovered that the piston rings were poorly designed with too few and too small holes. This makes them susceptible to over heating and carbon deposits that plug them up. Redline oil has a very high flash point and doesn't leave carbon residue on the metal like other oils do. So although it won't solve an already existing problem (by itself), it does prevent the problem from progressing. I used to lose a quart of oil per tank of gas. Now, I don't lose any even after 7000 miles on the same oil.

Redline is one of the few oils (even among synthetics) that are ester based. Esters are cleaner and much more heat tolerant.Redline is expensive but if take extended drains into account, it becomes a lot more reasonable. They're a small American company who will take the time to answer any questions as well.

I use this oil (mixed with the 5W-20) in concert with this filter microGreen 101-1 Oil Filter which I consider to be the best filter on the market. They make an unbeatable combination in my opinion.

I believe Redline to be the best oil on the market.

Red Line Oil makes first class products within the oil industry. If you haven't done any research on them, you should. They are highly respected in the Racing world.

Our 2012 Honda Civic calls for 0w20 and recently crossed the 10,000 mile mark. Feeling that it's well "broken-in" I decided to make the permanent switch to Red Line. The additive package in this oil is very stout with high ZDDP and very high Moly content for an oil. The 1.8L engine in the Civic runs very smoothly with this oil. I have typically been stuck on 5,000 mile oil changes with over the counter synthetics, but now will run at least 7,500 miles on this oil. Most engines could likely go further than this as well.

I also love Red Line because they are a small independent company located in California. On top of that, their products are true synthetic oil(ester based). Not only is this a better oil, there is no foreign oil interest! The company is also very helpful. I've spoken with Dave and he's extremely helpful and will recommend products based on your needs. I will be using their D6 ATF next time I service the transmission. Also, I'll be switching our 2003 Corolla to their 0w30 and D4 ATF.

Note: This oil isn't officially licensed by the API due to the high ZDDP content(good thing) and also it's very expensive to get the license. This doesn't phase me though, the additive package and base stocks are superior to other oils in my opinion. Plus, in the VERY unlikely event your engine fails under warranty; the Magnuson-Moss warranty act protects you from your dealer denying a claim based on oil used. They would have to PROVE that the oil specifically caused the failure(highly unlikely).
