Re: What oils for very hot temps?

Have you looked into Red Line products. I replaced
all the fluids in our 92 Bronco with their's and
went playing(4 wheeling) in Tx,Az,Ca,Nv and Wy.(6k+
miles started & finished in ND) for the entire
month of Aug 95. We spent 5 days in death vally
when the ground temp was +110F and never had a
problem the entire trip. Changed just the oil
filter in Ca and added 1 Qt did not use any other
oil. In July  of 96 we spent a week playing in Moab
and area again with +110F temps, I was greatly
impressed with their products.  After we get 3-4K
on our F250 everything but the oil (staying with
Rotella for now)is going to get switched over to
Red line.
Check out their page at
http://www.redlineoil.com/index.htm
Send them an e-mail and they will snail mail you a
detailed product list and specs. Plus they have it
avaible on line.
if you have any more questions just e-mail

-anything will do), ATF, gear oil and motor oil.
