Idemitsu vs Redline Oil
I'm wondering if anyone has specific experience to compare these two oils. Redline to me is the leader in high performance oil but maybe Idemitsu has an additive package specifically for rotaries that would make it more important than the high quality of Redline?
Thanks, Andy |

Thanks, Andy Idemitsu or Neo would be better. I highly recommend Neo as it transformed my transmission shift-smoothness during cold start and warmed up. Would never put anything else other than Neo in my FD. -AzEKnightz |
+1 for Neo. I noticed a huge difference in cold weather vs conventional fluid

I think the op is referring to premix for the engine.

Redline has a higher flash point, but idemitsu was designed for use as rotary premix. Hard to say which is better without having housing wear data for the two oils, and without having much experience with either. But, they are both high quality premixes. Gut instinct is that you would not be dissatisfied with either.

Ok what about with regards to 20w50 engine oil?

I use redline synthetic racing oil for my 2-cycle premix. haven't used it long enough to have a good opinion. I also have the RA adaptor and running it through my OMP injectors for more lube. I premix 4-5oz per tank.
40605 is the # I use. |
Idemitzu and Protek-R brands are magic rotary oils.

No need for full synthetic. However if you want to use full synthetic, I recommend using royal purple. I have always used Redline. I think they are the best oil products made. The Idemitsu and Neo products are similarly good, but I find those here who are really in love with the whole JDM thing will always choose a Japanese oil over an American oil... Gordon I had most complaint with redline, and either it was already in customer's car when it came in OR when we put those in customer noticed a difference and came back to us. So I am just speaking from experience, not simply I used JDM stuff and think they are better. -AzEKnightz |
