        Red Line Engine Break-In Additive - 16 oz

        Unleash Smooth Performance: Red Line Break-In Additive Optimizes New Engines

        Ensure a smooth and powerful break-in for your new engine with Red Line Break-In Additive. Reduces friction, protects components, and boosts power - all in one 16oz bottle. Invest in optimal performance from the start!

        Red Line Engine Break-In Additive is a specially formulated lubricant designed to enhance the break-in process for new or rebuilt engines. It provides several key benefits to ensure optimal performance and longevity:

        • Reduced Friction: Special anti-wear additives minimize friction between moving parts during the critical break-in period, promoting smoother operation and reducing wear.
        • Enhanced Protection: The formula provides additional lubrication and film strength, safeguarding vital engine components from excessive wear during the initial stages of operation.
        • Increased Power Potential: Reduced friction and improved lubrication contribute to smoother power delivery and potentially unlock the full potential horsepower of your engine.
        • Compatible with Conventional & Synthetic Oils: This versatile additive can be used with both conventional and synthetic motor oils, offering broader applicability.
        • Treats Up to 12 Quarts: The convenient 16oz bottle treats up to 12 quarts of motor oil, making it ideal for most engine applications.

        Invest in a smooth and powerful future for your engine with Red Line Break-In Additive. Ensure optimal performance and longevity right from the first start!

        • It adds antiwear compounds like zinc and phosphorus (ZDDP) to standard motor oils to prevent camshaft and valvetrain damage during break-in.
        • Allow less-slick oil to adequately seat piston rings, while antiwear additives safeguard other engine components from excessive wear.
        • Can also be utilized in normal operation with conventional and synthetic oils, giving an added layer of protection not available in most motor oils.
        • one 16oz bottle may treat up to 12 quarts of motor oil, therefore one bottle can serve two engines or oil changes.

        Racing lubricants offer better wear protection than passenger car oils, but they contain fewer detergents and are not suited for use on the road.

        • Improved frictional qualities thanks to a reformulated formula
        • Detergents designed to promote lubricity and reduce detonation
        • When exposed to excessive fuel dilution, polyol ester base stocks give higher stability and film strength.
        • For antiwear, each of these products contains at least 2200ppm zinc and phosphorus.
        • Each race oil product is a multi-grade, with 20WT being a 5W20, 30WT being a 10W30, 40WT being a 15W40, and 50WT being a 15W50.
        • Improved startup protection, lower oil temperature, and cleanliness
        • Keep in mind that these oils should be changed more regularly than conventional motor oils.
