About Red Line CV-2 Grease

Red Line CV-2 Grease is designed to withstand the extreme temperatures and pressures which occur in high-performance wheel bearings and CV-joints. The excellent high temperature, stability, extreme-pressure protection, and water resistance enables it to out-perform even the best conventional or synthetic greases. Red Line CV-2 Grease can be used in a wide range of applications at temperatures ranging between -100°F to 500°F and provides good oxidation and corrosion resistance, low evaporation and oil separation, and has a minimum effect on rubber seals. The exceptional extreme-pressure performance and the fluidity of the synthetic oil allows increases in bearing life of 200% to 800%.

Red Line CV-2 Grease contains a red moly compound which is a superior lubricant to black moly disulphide lubricants. Red Line CV-2 Grease may also be used in industrial applications such as high-temperature alternator bearings, high-speed ball bearings, conveyor bearings, worm gear drives, servo-mechanisms, and applications where vibrations can cause fretting wear and corrosion to take place.

Red Line CV-2 Grease will retain its consistency and extreme-pressure performance under high temperature and high shear conditions for extended periods, which extends the performance ranges of the lubricated components. Red Line CV-2 will slightly darken after high-temperature use; this darkening will not detrimentally affect the performance of the grease. Although Red Line CV-2 is compatible with small amounts of many petroleum-based greases, it is always good lubrication practice to thoroughly clean out the old grease to eliminate abrasive particles and to minimize the possibility of grease incompatibility.

Red Line Race Oils

Racing oils provide more wear protection than motor oils for passenger vehicles, however, these products contain fewer detergents and are not suitable for street use.

Benefits

  • Formulated for improved frictional properties
  • Special detergents for improved lubricity and less detonation
  • Polyol ester base stocks provide more stability and film strength when exposed to excess fuel dilution
  • Each of these products has no less than 2200ppm of zinc and phosphorus for antiwear.

About Red Line Race Oils

Red Line Race Oils are used by many teams who have found that the improved performance and equipment durability is the key to winning. Red Line Race Oils are made with the most thermally stable synthetic base stocks available and provide the best high-temperature lubrication and a higher film strength than any petroleum or synthetic product marketed. The ability of Red Line Oil to lubricate hot metal has enabled many cars to not only finish, but to win races after losing coolant, without serious damage to the engine.

Even though Red Line Race Oils are straight grades, their low-temperature properties make them exceptional multigrades. Red Line Race Oils allow 1-3% more power than an oil of similar viscosity, while providing much more protection. Each reduction in viscosity grade allows 1-2% more power. To reduce the chance of detonation, our race oils contain low detergent amounts and are not recommended for street use.
