I've never tried it because their marketing approach is a turn-off for me. Their oils are probably just as good as all the other [popular] synthetic oils available when properly used (i.e., getting used oil analyses prior to deciding to go to an extended change interval). BTW, I've never looked for any virgin oil analyses for their oils to compare them to other similar oils.
The 4-ball test, used for testing boundary regime lubrication (metal to metal contact because the oil film is gone) seems to point to the additive package and not the basestock oils, in my non-lube engineer/non-tribologist mind!
I'm not moving off of RedLine for the reasons I posted above.
