Yeah, I'd say it has about three times the life used so far

Yeah i figured i would send it in around 7500 kms of use. It runs through two turbos so i was curious to see what 7500 looked like. Looks good i believe! Im planning on 10,000 next oci but not just because the comments section says so. Redline is awesome stuff and i am pleased with the results.
 
Exactly. Its most likely overkill for my application but i would rather pay to know if somethings goes wrong it wasnt because of bad oil!!

Yes. Typical high-Ca detergents, skipping the Mg detergents, which might be bad for LSPI. ...... High moly is not seen that often, yet some oils like Pennzoil Ultra 0w40 inject 275 ppm moly, and we've seen it high in conventional GroupII Pennzoils at times, Mazda 0w20, Schaeffers too.

Look at my UOA referenced above and check out the lead. Most UOA's I've seen with Red Line are exceptionally low in lead readings. Red Line is an excellent long interval oil.

Twin turbos? More details please!
 
Its a jdm legacy. They come stock with two small IHI turbos. Decently quick for a 18 year old car

Yeah wear metals are starting to show more and more. The ppm's arent too outrageous except for lead...at the end of the day this knowledge is why we do sampling for better or worse!
