Mobil 1's recently earned a reputation of breaking down dramatically at high temps. Granted, these are at temps a street car shouldn't be running at, but I was seeing 270F oil temps on the track and perhaps not so coincidentally I was spinning rod bearings. Perhaps it's not Mobil 1's fault as no oil may protect the bearing at those temps, but Redline is only a little more expensive and is a whole lot cheaper than rebuilding a motor, so I use it for the insurance value.
BTW: I still use Mobil 1 in our turbo Saab.
