It's oil, you will never see any results or improvements. As long as you aren't using something completely wrong like 0w20 non-synth and running it hard every weekend on track in 90+ weather, you wont "see" anything.

With all due respect... you're planning to use a non-Dexos, non-warranty oil vs something like Motul or Mobil 1 Dexos 2 because of a comparo someone was paid to write, by an oil company, about non-existent evidence of supposed marginal differences in wear or mileage or something like that. It's BS IMHO.

If you don't have a warranty anymore, ignore this part... the only difference you may see is the $20-30k+ cost to replace your motor when it fails due to nothing related to the perfectly good Redline oil you used (yes Redline IS good oil, but not "better" than Motul), when GM says sorry your warranty was voided due to using this non-Dexos oil. If you already don't have a warranty, go for it the Redline will be fine.
Don't have warranty (I am in EU sir...) and no stock engine, so I want the better for my engine, not a brand who paid for dexos2 logo and engineered the oil with EPA restrictions in mind.

A good mid or high saps oil is honestly better.
This... and with a catless car your post become much more true, thank you.
