In what business? The oil business, the oil change, mechanics, race shops, what? I can't imagine why. Redline is probably the premier race and high performance oil. It is used in some of the harshest race and off-road applications I am aware of by the people who have to pay for their oil. (AKA, no big oil sponsor.)

The Stealth has nothing but Redline fluids form engine to rear diff, and has seen some pretty harsh conditions and has not suffered the common spun bearing common on that car. I have threatened to switch the WRX over to it, but am using Mobil1 right now which is about 1/2 the price or less.
