The Redline 5w-20 has a HT/HS (High Temp High Shear) of 3.3, which is equivelant to most 30wt oils. This is very impressive for a 20wt oil. In other words, Redline's 20wt oil will protect as good as Amsoil and Mobil's 30wt viscosities under high stress conditions.

That's true, it's as good as 30wt for high stress conditions, but what about the 90% of the time that you're not on the track or at redline? Does it protect as well as a 30wt?
