Although the previous oils gave me good UOA reports, the car always would have valve train startup noise. With Redline, that noise is now gone.
I change my oil at approx 7500 mile intervals, mainly because the Porsche oil tests are run for approx 200 hrs which roughly equates to 6000 miles driven.
BTW, as we've both seen, summer is fading fast in our area so don't worry about the coco butter

PS: Tried to upload my UOA history (pdf) but it didn't work (IE or Mozilla). |
I'll take your advice . Both on the oil and the coco butter . I usually switch to Oil of Olay this time of year any way .
