hello everyone
Redline 5w30 is 100% ESTER? true? or ESTER+PAO? thx

Ester + something.

Why would you need 100%? RL ~60-70% Easter + PAO.

I don't believe there are any 100% ester oils out there. Some lower group oils are needed as additive carriers.

Technically not exactly true. Esters (many, if not all) will hold any necessary additives in solution just fine. It's really a matter of cost. A 100% ester oil will be very expensive.

Majority esters with some small amount of PAO to offset seal swell. One of the only oils on the market today that is using high doses of POE base oils.
