Back in October said I would try Red Line synthetic oil. I purchased a case from Racer Parts Wholesale (best price I could find), and with my last oil change poured 9 quarts into the Jägermobile. The first thing I noticed is on cold starts there is no more lifter/valve train noise, which is something I would hear for about 10 seconds after startup, I still have a little chain noise until the tensioners pump-up but it’s much quieter on cold start-ups. I also notice it takes more time for the engine to come-up to temperature, which was a surprise. The next thing I need to check is how much ferrous metal is sticking to the magnetic drain plug when I change the oil next time (in a couple months). I will take pictures and compare with previous pictures/amounts when using Mobil 1, I will post those results. So far I am sold.
