SL65 AMG Redline Synthetic Oil vs Mobile1
I'm about to do an oil change, it has been suggested that I will get far better performance using Redline 5w-40 synthetic oil rather than the recommended Mobile1. Has anyone noticed a marked difference?
Also, what is the recommendation on 0w-40 vs 5w-40 in an M275 V12 bi-turbo engine, is the only difference that 0w-40 has better coverage in colder climates?

I say listen to Plutoe and go by MB specs only.
