A lot of people have been ragging on Mobil 1 lately, so I'm switching over to Red Line 5w/40 in my 986 for the next oil change to see if there is any truth behind the coolaid.
if it quiets down the cold start up clatter or revs smoother I'll be happy enough to justify the 9 bucks a quart,otherwise, it's back to Mobil.

I've used Mobil 1 5W-40, Motul 8100 5W-40 and both oils resulted in good used oil analysis reports but both had startup noise -- I changed to RedLine 5W-40 and the startup noise is gone (thank you POEs!).
