Redline Lightweight ShockProof® Gear Oil
Redline Lightweight ShockProof® Gear Oil is a premium synthetic lubricant engineered specifically for racing applications requiring maximum protection with minimal drag. This unique formulation delivers the film thickness protection of an SAE 75W140 gear oil while maintaining the low internal friction characteristics of 80W gear oil or 30W motor oil.
Key Performance Features
- Superior Protection: Contains microscopic solid particles that cushion gear teeth while allowing low drag operation
- Enhanced Cold Weather Performance: Excellent low-temperature flow properties ensure improved cold shifting capabilities
- Racing-Specific Design: Formulated for racing differentials under moderate loads and splash lubrication systems
Technical Specifications
- Oil Weight: 75W80
- Volume: 1 Gallon (3.785 Liters)
- Type: Synthetic with limited slip additive
- Lubrication Method: Wet sump/splash applications
Racing Applications
This lightweight formula is particularly popular in:
- Hewland and other road racing dog-ring transmissions
- Bert and Brinn transmissions for stock cars
- G-Force and Liberty clutchless transmissions for drag racing
- 2-stroke and 4-stroke motocross transmissions
- Road racing differentials with moderate power output
Important Usage Notes
- Can be used with pumps and coolers when equipped with inline screens rather than fine filters
- Avoid pumping through main shaft centers as particles may centrifuge out
- Not recommended for most synchro-type transmissions due to extreme slipperiness
- Designed specifically for wet sump transmissions and differentials with splash lubrication
