This said however, I also picked up some Redline 5W/40 Euro formula which has the same Dexos2 approval. I put it in the other vehicle that required the Dexos2 approval and you can tell the difference. They are the same make and engine's with about the same miles on them and the Redline is just smoother. This is the only reason for the 4 stars instead of 5.
You can't go wrong with either product, and to be honest, Mobil 1 saved a race for me onetime and the car ended up winning. Upon teardown I was expecting to see pretty severe damage since the oil ended up being hotter than 360 degrees F for the last 20 laps of the race. Only showed very minor heat pads on a couple of the bearings... we were all amazed. So trust me when I tell you that you can't go wrong with Mobil 1 or the Redline.
