Redline D6 VOA

[ford250]

Got my Redline D6 sample back What you guys think ?

Looks like a similar add pack of what I've seen before. What is different is the oxidation value is higher than usual. I'd assume they are using some quality base oils in this Transmission fluid?

Much better, thank you!

Looks like the Red Line D6 ATF has lots of anti-wear additives and a good amount of POE. Maybe @Foxtrot08 can fill in the details of how good this product is, as he's more familiar with Red Line products.

I used Red Line C+ on my 62TE @ 46k miles replacing the ATF4+ OE fluid. I am nearing 40K miles on that change. I am going to use Valvoline ATF4+ or Red Line again when I hit 45-50k miles on the existing Red Line. I felt no difference from the OE to the Red Line. I wouldn't hesitate to use the Red Line again as it is fairly cost competitive but I will check pricing on everything when the time comes.

The detected elements are what I would expect from a Boutique oil.

Is this a generally positive or negative observation (without endorsement, of course)?

Just an observation of various formulae over the years.

Thanks for your help

Much depends on your budget, your ATF change intervals, and whether you think it's worth a boutique ATF.

HPL's GreenCC has the best components, to my knowledge, of any Boutique ATF.
