When we talk OE fluid we have to take into consideration requirements like oxidation. OE fluid is compromise. Fluid like Redline is not intended for long OCI, regardless what they claim.
Taking those two things into consideration, they will provide different performance.
Yeah OEM fluid, I wanted to go redline dctf since dctf satisfied mtf-lt5 requirements as dctf is a low viscosity MTF, but unfortunately for my local parts shop to get it in it would take quite a long time. So I didn't have the time to wait and just opted for MTF lt5.


What's the oci on redline fluids? I might switch over next time.
I would do Redline every 30k.
