Red Line 20W60wt

Guys, Anyone running redline 20w60wt full syn in their 012,103 twin cams. I'm currently running spectro 20w50wt platinum and thinking of switching to the heavier weight in this hot weather we have been having in the Northeast. What do you think of te 20w60 redline ?

I've used it. In hotter weather and operating conditions it thins less than a 20w-50.
Red line makes a top of the line product. I wouldn't think twice about using anything they make.
Use it with confidence

Do they make a single weight, i'd go straight 60w....hell report on it so we can determine if a conventional single weight is any quieter on a motor than a synthetic one...I know I want to know!

Changed my oil last week..always use redline products, went to 20w60 with the hot summer and love it. Runs great, a little cooler, and quieter. Never look back.

Yeah that, my idle pressure was at the first dot and went up to the second. Oil temperature went down about 20 degrees ! Hard to believe, might have been other factors involved. I was running Mobil 1 and tried the Valveoline VR1 straight 50.
