Red Line's 40 WT SAE (15W40) Racing Oil is for use where
temperatures may be high and when a wide range in RPMs and speeds
will be encountered. Red Line's Racing Oils have a global
reputation as the ultimate racing lubricant--many teams who have
found that the improved performance and equipment durability is
the key to winning. Red line's 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, Red
Line's race oils contain very few detergents and are not
recommended for street use. Red Line Synthetic Motor Oils are
designed to provide the highest degree of protection and
cleanliness for your engine. Red Line uses the most stable
synthetic components available and formulates their products for
wear protection across a wide range of operating conditions. Red
Line lubricants contain polyol ester basestocks, the only
lubricants which can withstand the tremendous heat of modern jet
engines, which makes our motor oil a necessity to properly
lubricate a turbocharger or hot-running engine. The synthetic
basestocks have a natural multigrade property, which means that
large as of unstable polymeric thickeners are not required
to manufacture our multigrades. Red Line Synthetic Motor Oils
will provide better protection than a petroleum oil of the next
higher viscosity grade under high shear conditions.

Motor oil is made from crude oil and is used to lubricate, clean,
and cool engines. Types of motor oil include conventional,
synthetic, diesel, bio-based, hybrid (blends of conventional and
synthetic), and recycled oils. Motor oil varies in weight and
viscosity, as well as additives that some manufacturers add to
the oil during the refining process. A numerical code system
created by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) grades motor
oils according to viscosity--the higher the number between 0 and
60, the more viscous (thicker) the oil is. Most consumer motor
oils are graded by two numbers, with the first number indicating
cold weather (Winter or "W") performance.
SAE 15W-40
----------
This oil has a weight of SAE 15W-40, meaning it has an SAE
viscosity rating of 15 in cold temperatures and a rating of 40 at
normal operating temperature. Always check your vehicle's owner's
manual to verify that this is the correct weight of motor oil for
your vehicle.
Conventional Motor Oil
----------------------
This oil is a conventional motor oil, meaning it is refined from
crude oil or petroleum products. Conventional motor oils may or
may not have additives included after refining. Conventional
motor oils are more versatile than synthetic or hybrid motor
oils, because they are suitable for use with nearly all types of
modern vehicle engines, from cars and trucks to motorcycles,
ATVs, farm equipment, and more.
Racing Oil
----------
Racing oils are designed for track cars and other types of
high-compression vehicles intended for motorsports competition.
They contain particular additives for increased engine horsepower
and reduced friction on metal parts, and provide special
protection for engines with high compression or higher
horsepower. Racing oils usually include fewer detergents than
regular conventional motor oils.
Please note that many, if not all, oils labelled as racing oils
are not street legal, and it is not recommended to put racing oil
in a conventional passenger vehicle. Make sure to double-check
the product label as well as the specifications of your vehicle
to ensure proper usage.
