Would Brad Penn 10w-40 Partial Synthetic or REDLINE SYNTHETIC MOTOR OIL 10W40 be better for my car?
between those two choices there is no choice. Redline all day long.it's a group V true ester base oil that will lubicate better and withstand much more heat and pressure than the BP.it will also hold up to the E85 better.

with a stock bottom end you may not really need the Redline,but i always like to get the best if i can when it comes to oil.ester based oils are the best.

Like I said, this is an insanely broad question because you're asking people with completely different motors for completely different purposes living in completely different parts of the country.
Lol, just read rest of this and I agree. I still like to answer though for some reason.

Wait, is this a car question?
