QSUD vs Valvoline full synthetic

[ChrisD46]

Valvoline Advanced Synthetic and QSUD are both D1 / Gen 2 rated oils , so similar in their specifications to protect turbo and DI engines . Valvoline includes a shot of titanium in their formula while the QSUD is reported to have very low friction for better wear protection . You will save several dollars per 5 qrt. jug if you buy QSUD at WM so with 5K mile OCI's you will save $14 - $21 per year using QSUD . Lastly , both oils turn in fine UOA's with the advantage I believe going to Valvoline Advanced if you extend OCI's out to 7.5K mile OCI's .

What about Redline? I think their oils have in excess of 500ppm of moly. I wonder what kind they use?
