RedLine Oil

A few days ago i got this thing called mt-90 "installed" (cause i've seen one guy here on org listed Mobil1 in his engine as a modification BTW, can i "install" 3M liquid wax over my car and call it Mod? ) in tranny... Well, it still does not shift like in my M3
To the point, what i'm thinking now... They say all kinds of good things about their redline engine oils, so, does anyone have like any experience with it, noticed any real differece, does the switch to the redline engine oil worth it?

If you drive on/or around redline most of the time, have a turbo or supercharger and spend a lot of time on the track, Redline oil is the way to go. Other than that, it is what you are comfortable with and willing to pay. Any good dino will give you good protection on a regular OCI (3K miles) and a good synthetic will give you good protection (M1, Amsoil, GC, etc) on an extended OCI (6K miles and above). Just my two cents.

I switched to MT-90 a couple months ago. Shifting is a bit smoother than with the factory fliud. It shifts a lot smoother in the cold weather, too. It's been below zero here for a couple weeks and the shift feel is the same as when its 60 degrees!
