While many of the major oil marketers now sell synthetic lubricants in an attempt to keep up with technology, Red Line has been manufacturing high-performance synthetic products since 1979. Red Line now manufactures more than 100 quality products, including synthetic engine oils, motorcycle oils, racing oils, gear lubricants, automatic transmissions fluids, motorcycle gear lubricants, assembly lubes, fuel additives, suspension fluids, 2-stroke oils and their popular WaterWetter cooling additive for the automotive, motorcycle, marine, and industrial markets. Synthetics as a class of lubricants have some significant advantages over even the best petroleum lubricants.

Red Line provides several different antiwear additives in each lubricant to provide wear protection over a very wide range of conditions. Data from ASTM wear tests indicate that Red Line has a distinct ability to carry a greater load (film-strength), and that less wear is produced per unit of load. Across the range of loads which your automotive equipment can encounter, Red Line can provide less wear and a much lower chance of catastrophic failure than other petroleums and synthetics. This can make the difference between an engine saved and one which is destroyed when a mechanical component such as a connecting rod bolt breaks.

Red Line also manufactures a cooling system additive called WaterWetter which is capable of reducing the coolant temperature of a high-performance vehicle by 15-30°F and can provide even greater reduction in cylinder head temperature which means greater volumetric efficiency and allows more spark advance. WaterWetter also provides rust and corrosion protection in plain water which can provide additional cooling efficiency compared to antifreeze.
