  What Redline product did you use? They have several different products for 
 different applications and the problem here may not be the fact that it's a 
 Redline product, but that the wrong product was used.

	It might also be that the vehicle was not an Alfa.  After years, I 
finally got my wife out of her MR-2 and into an Alfa Spider.  I run Red Line 
products in my Alfas and recommend them.  I run MT in the spider 
transmissions and NS in the limited slips to try and limit the slip.  I run 
Red Line oil in the engine only on those Alfas not being driven much.  At $8 
per quart It is too expensive for a daily driver.
	I even put Red Line 20W50 in the generator of my motor home the other 
day.  It only took a quart and a half.  Plus the only oil I had in the garage 
was Red Line or Castrol and I did not want to make a trip to the store.
