Red
Line Oil is our choice for every car we put on the racetrack.
Their raw materials are superior and their resulting product has
proven, over numerous tests and engine wear inspections in our own
racing program, to give more protection while freeing up
power.
Red Line
Synthetic 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 on the market today. Although Red Line
racing oils are categorized as “straight grades”, their
low-temperature properties make them exceptional multigrades,
allowing 2-4% 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 very few detergents and are not recommended for
street use.
One of the biggest topics in modern synthetic engine oils is the
level of Zinc Dialkyl-Dithio-Phosphate (ZDDP) anti-wear additive
contained in the oil. ZDDP protects by creating a film on cams and
flat lifter contact points in response to the extreme pressure and
heat at the contact point. The film of zinc and phosphorus
compounds provides a sacrificial wear surface protecting the base
metal of the cam and lifter from wear. Every synthetic engine oil
manufacturer has different levels of this particular additive
included in their base-stock, among other additives to increase the
amount of anti-wear properties in the oil. The real issue is modern
API (American Petroleum Institute) approved oils lack the anti-wear
properties needed for our performance driven engines. There are
numerous reasons why the EPA has required the removal of these
anti-wear additives from modern oils including added pollution and
increased cost of these particular elements. These modern "updated"
oils have almost zero ZDDP, and this can play a serious role in
your engine's lifespan, whether your dealer will inform you of this
or not! So, if you can find an API approval stamp on the label of a
quart of oil, chances are it lacks the anti-wear properties needed
for proper protection. This is unfortunate, because a majority of
oil manufacturers have "met" these specifications so the everyday
customer and "quickie lube" will use their lubricants. This leaves
our options at the local auto parts store slim for finding a
quality lubricant.
Fortunately, there are still oil manufacturers making the best oils
they can produce, with no interest in reducing their anti-wear
additives to be API compliant. Red Line is one of those
manufacturers, and the brand we fully stand behind! Every
quart of Red Line engine oil has a complete anti-wear package
containing ZDDP and other anti-wear additives for proper engine
protection. All of our pro-level race cars use off the shelf Red
Line products in the engine, transmission, and differential. Our
street cars also use Red Line products to increase longevity and
performance. We'll go to the local auto shop for our car wax and
wash, but not our lubricants!
Expected oil life in track conditions is approximately 1000 miles,
or 10 on-track hours at full rev use.
The following is a very general guideline
for oil weight selection. Engine designs are different, and
engines change as they wear. We suggest a higher weight oil
for high-mileage engines or engines that show signs of significant
wear - usually one grade higher. Correct engine oil temp is
212F-275F, with ideal approximately 250F, but Red Line Oil will
perform well at 300F and can withstand even higher for
limited intervals. If your engine temps are too high, go up
one weight.
