Not Ranked
The response from REDLINE oil's tech support:
We don't recommend seating the rings with the Red Line oils as they
can impede the seating process. Some synthetics and petroleums don't
seem to have the same issues. I would just recommend seating the
rings with a petroleum oil and then switch over to the Red Line, if
you are breaking it in on the track rather than the dyno.
In the past it was thought that a non-detergent oil would allow the
rings to seat little quicker than a detergent petroleum oil. I am not
sure how much difference the non-detergent oil makes with most ring
material and suitable cylinder wall preparation. At this point a
non-detergent petroleum oil is going to be fairly difficult to find.
