Redlne Oil - dynoed
Not sure if this has been posted before, but good info.
The testing shown below was conducted by Steven Merenkov on his 1998 Chevrolet Corvette. For more information on his testing please visit his web site at: http://www.c5-corvette.com/redline.htm
After 14 Hours on the Dyno with 29 runs to 140mph, 5 Oil Filters, and 4 cases of oil. Red Line WINS!
To completely prove that Red Line was the superior product we totally switched the oil back to Stock and then re-ran all the tests. Then to see what we could really do we tried the Red Line Shockproof light weight and got another 2 Horse Power. We also saw a significant reduction in rear end temperatures using the Red Line ShockProof rear end oil. One interesting side note is, as we increased the Engine Oil temperature the Horse Power started to drop with Mobil 1. With Red Line 5W30 the Horse Power INCREASED as it got hotter. During the testing we saw as much as a 7 Horse Power difference in Drive Line loss. So, If you want better protection, More Horse Power, and less wear switch to Red Line.
Summary of Final Test Result
FLUIDS Max. Horse Power Max. Torque Increased HP
ALL stock fluids (Mobil 1 5W30, Dexron IIE(III), and 80W90 GL-5) 317.4 328.1 Baseline
Red Line Oil, (Red Line 5W30, Red Line D4 ATF, Red Line 75W90 Gear oil) 320.1 327.7 2.7 HP
Red Line Oil, (Red Line 5W30, Red Line D4 ATF, Red Line Shockproof LW) 321.9 330.9 4.5 HP

That is a little deceptive don't you think?
If you look at the chart when only the engine oil was changed and all other fluids stock in many runs the Red Line lost HP compared to the Mobil 1.
Also the rear end gear oil that produced the most power gains is not approved for use in the C5 rear end.
