I posted this in my CJ-4 thread, but it'll probably do more good in its own thread.
The latest formulation of Redline 5w40 no longer satisfies CJ-4 requirements [per the spec list and Dave at Redline]. Their 15w40 is the only CJ-4 offering remaining.
The 'old' 5w40 [former CJ-4 rated] is now a high-SAPS Euro oil, while the new 5w40 is a mid-SAPS Euro oil.
