Product Information
Full details
This guide is for mechanics and DIY enthusiasts building or rebuilding engines. The Red Line Liquid Engine Assembly Lube offers superior protection during the critical first start-up by adhering to all surfaces, a key benefit. A potential caveat is that its liquid form requires careful application to ensure complete coverage. This 355ml lube is a convenient alternative to traditional paste, providing excellent rust inhibition, exceptional film strength (3x greater than Molybdenum Disulfide grease), and mixes with oil without clogging filters, ensuring immediate lubrication and wear protection.

FAQs
What is the primary benefit of using liquid assembly lube over paste?
Liquid assembly lube, like Red Line's, is often easier to apply evenly and ensures better distribution throughout the oil system upon startup, adhering to surfaces effectively and mixing without clogging filters.
How much Red Line Liquid Engine Assembly Lube should I use?
Apply liberally to critical friction surfaces during assembly. It is designed to mix with your initial engine oil fill, so thorough coverage of parts is key, rather than a specific volume measurement for the oil itself.
Will this lube affect my oil filter?
No, Red Line Liquid Engine Assembly Lube is specifically formulated to mix with engine oil and will not clog oil filters.
Can I use this lube for long-term storage of an engine?
Yes, its excellent rust-inhibiting properties make it suitable for protecting engine components from corrosion during storage.
How does its film strength compare to Molybdenum Disulfide grease?
It offers 3x greater film strength than conventional Molybdenum Disulfide grease, providing superior protection against wear.
Is this product suitable for all types of engines?
Yes, it is designed for use in gasoline and diesel engines and is compatible with all common engine oil formulations.
When should I apply this lube during the engine build process?
Apply it to all critical moving parts and bearing surfaces during the assembly stage, before the initial fill of engine oil is added.
Troubleshooting
Lube appears too thin for some users accustomed to paste.
This is a characteristic of the liquid formulation. Apply carefully to ensure full coverage; it is designed to adhere and mix with oil effectively.
Concerns about mixing with specific oil types.
Red Line Liquid Engine Assembly Lube is compatible with all standard engine oils, including synthetics and conventional types. Ensure thorough mixing during the initial oil fill.
Parts are not fully coated after application.
Ensure even distribution during application. For vertical surfaces, reapply to ensure adherence. The product's viscosity is optimized for distribution within the circulating oil.
