    never used it but I heard from people who love it and their bikes didn't light on fire...so ya I think you will be good running Redline oil.

    i'm assuming it's for his 08 GSXR 1000 that he's putting a turbo in. and it will be used at the drag strip....from what i've gathered in his other threads

    One of the best classes I ever took (great professor!) was Critical Thinking.

    Marketing people get paid 6 figures to come up with ways to separate you from your money.

    Marketing people believe in P&L which is Profit and Loss to accounting people, however marketing folk have twisted it to be Propaganda and Lies.

    If you really believe that paying an extra 5 dollars a quart is worth it ...

    Red Line is about $7.50 extra/qt, about the cost of a rack of good beer

    Re: Red Line Full Synthetic?

    I just did a google price thing ...

    Amsoil, Redline ... all those "premium" brands that spend a lot of moolah in magazines and flash their stickers on anything that moves.

    Think ... act ...

    Common sense?

    the way I look at it, premium oil costs extra, the same as 2 tanks of fuel, or 400 miles of riding
