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.

Jäger,
Glad to hear you're enjoying Redline. I have had the same experiences as you except I can't comment on the warmup time (because I never noticed it). I have a couple of thousand more miles to do before I change out the oil and get an UOA -- I'm also interested to see what the Fe levels are.
Regards,
paul...
