Engine oil RED LINE or OEM Volkswagen
I’ve been using redline in my 2020 fxlrs for the last 3 years. A few guys I know swear by it.
So far redline 20w60 is doing great in the summer heat
My first service after purchasing my Harley, I used SYN3 in all three, since then I’ve religiously used REDLINE kits.
I’ve used Motul, LiquiMoly, Molygen, and Redline 5w40. Oil analysis was best with the Redline, but it’s pricey…although worth the better numbers IMO.
This one was done at the local VW dealership where they added 6L of VW oil and were nice enough to collect a sample of the oil for me to send off to Blackstone. The oil in this sample had higher quantities of wear metals present vs the 3rd sample, but that is to be expected as there were more than twice as many miles on the oil.
I use Redline 5w-40 because I noticed my engine burns a quart every 2000miles using other brands or thinner grades. With RedLine there is barely any consumption.
I run Red Line oils in my H-Ds and Indian.
Get the Redline 5W-30…you won’t be disappointed. I was floored by how much better my Z performed with this oil. I’ll never use anything else.
I just put Redline 5w-30 into my 2011 STI at the last oil change. We'll see how it goes.
After reading this thread I decided to check the paperwork on my oil change that I got from a dealer last week. All it says is 6 G-E60-020-1B-DSP ENG. OIL Net 7.80 Total 46.80 which I assume means the "6" is the quantity. As far as I can tell, that part number equals VW 508.00 Spec oil. My car is a 2019 1.8L and the label under the hood clearly says 502 or 504 oil is required.
