Product Information

Full details

The Red Line CV 2 Synthetic Grease is designed for motorsport enthusiasts and mechanics seeking superior lubrication for high-stress automotive components. Its key benefit is exceptional performance under extreme temperatures and pressures, significantly extending the life of wheel bearings, universal joints, and CV joints. A potential caveat is its specialized nature, making it best suited for performance applications rather than everyday general-purpose lubrication.

FAQs

What is the primary advantage of Red Line CV 2 Synthetic Grease?

Its primary advantage is its ability to provide exceptional lubrication and protection under extreme temperature and pressure conditions, significantly extending component life.

Can I use this grease for general automotive lubrication, like door hinges?

While it would provide excellent lubrication, it is a specialized, high-performance grease. For general-purpose lubrication, a less specialized grease might be more economical.

What temperature range does this grease cover?

It is effective in a wide temperature range, from -73° C to 260° C (-100° F to 500° F).

How does it compare to conventional automotive grease?

Red Line CV 2 offers superior resistance to extreme temperatures, pressures, and water washout, leading to much longer component life compared to conventional greases.

Is it safe to mix with existing grease in a joint?

It is best practice to clean out old grease before applying Red Line CV 2 to ensure optimal performance. Minor mixing may not cause immediate issues, but it can dilute the benefits.

What does 'Moly' in the product name refer to?

'Moly' refers to Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), a solid lubricant additive that enhances film strength and reduces friction, especially under extreme pressure.

How often should I re-grease my CV joints with this product?

Re-greasing intervals depend on the application and manufacturer recommendations. Due to its durability, Red Line CV 2 often allows for extended intervals compared to conventional greases.

Troubleshooting

Grease appears too thick or difficult to apply in cold temperatures.

This is normal for synthetic greases at very low temperatures. Allow the grease to warm slightly before attempting application. Its performance benefits are most apparent under extreme conditions.

Component is still showing signs of wear despite using Red Line CV 2.

Ensure the components were thoroughly cleaned before application and that the grease was applied correctly and sufficiently. Verify that the component itself is not damaged or worn beyond repair.

Rubber boot appears slightly softened.

While designed for minimal effect, some older or specific types of rubber may show slight softening. Monitor closely. If significant degradation occurs, consider using a different type of boot compatible with synthetic greases.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional performance in extreme temperatures and pressures.
  • Significantly extends the lifespan of critical components like CV joints and wheel bearings.
  • Provides robust protection against water washout and contamination.
  • Compatible with rubber seals, minimizing degradation.
  • Ideal for high-performance and motorsport applications.

Cons

  • May be overkill for standard, low-stress automotive applications.
  • Higher cost compared to conventional greases.
  • Requires proper application techniques for optimal results.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Clean Components: Thoroughly clean old grease, dirt, and debris from the components (CV joints, wheel bearings, universal joints) before application.
  2. Apply Evenly: Apply a generous, even coating of Red Line CV 2 Synthetic Grease to all moving surfaces and bearings. For CV joints, ensure the grease is distributed within the boot without overfilling.
  3. Reassemble: Carefully reassemble components, ensuring seals are properly seated.

Compatibility:

  • Rubber Seals & Boots: The formulation has a minimum effect on most common rubber seals and boots, making it safe for use in applications with rubber boots.
  • Conventional Greases: While it can often be mixed in small amounts, it is best practice to clean out old conventional greases completely before applying Red Line CV 2 for optimal performance.

Care:

  • Storage: Store the grease in its original container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Inspection: Regularly inspect components for signs of grease leakage or contamination. Address any issues promptly.
  • Re-greasing Intervals: Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for your specific vehicle or component for re-greasing intervals. Due to its extended life properties, intervals may be longer than with conventional greases.
