Red Line Engine Break-In Additive

Red Line’s new Engine Oil Break-In Additive provides conventional motor oils with anti-wear additives like zinc and phosphorus (ZDDP) necessary to protect against premature camshaft and valvetrain wear.

Street Car Applications

This additive is a great addition to street cars that use API approved oils such as Mobil 1, Catrol Syntec, and BMW Synthetics. To comply with API's new emissions standards, these oils lack the necessary ZDDP and anti-wear packages needed for long term ownership and use. We suggest using a half bottle of Red Line Break-In Additive with every oil change if you are not using a synthetic oil containing a proper ZDDP anti-wear package such as Red Line. This is especially important concerning the valvetrain where larger camshafts grinds and higher valve spring pressures are used. This additive is designed to allow pistons rings to seat properly, while allowing other engine components to avoid excessive wear.

Track/Race Applications

Track and race cars can also benefit from the use of Redline's Break-In Additive. This is a great addition to a conventional oil fill during the first few hundred miles of break-in. The additive allows for a proper piston ring break-in while reducing the camshaft's initial break-in wear. Continual use of Red Line Engine Oil Break-In will increase the longevity of your investment.

One 16oz bottle treats up to 12 quarts of motor oil, so in many cases one bottle can protect for 2 oil services.
