More or less people than say that M1's current formula shears at high rpm and destroys motors?

I was running 15-50 M1 in my motor the last time it died. I don't think it was the oil, but why chance it. I'm planning on running RedLine in the car once the motor's broken in.

Also, 5-30 and 10-30 should be the same viscosity once up to temperature. The only difference is that the 5-30 oil is thinner at low temps.
