.:Redline Performance Lubricants
![]() |
Red Line formulates fully-synthetic oils and chemically-advanced additives using the world’s finest base stocks. Rather than cutting costs by blending in petroleum products, Red Line's motor oils and gear oils use superior ester base stocks that provide extreme stability at high temperatures and superior film strength at lower viscosities where more power can be produced. |

Redline Differential Oil
Suitable for BMWs and other performance vehicles.
ABOUT RED LINE GEAR OIL FOR DIFFERENTIALS
» Fully-synthetic formulas
created from polyol ester base stocks, offer excellent lubrication
under extreme conditions.
» High viscosity-index (VI) to provide relatively constant
viscosity and film thickness with varying temperature change.
» Ester base stocks and friction modifiers provide additional
slipperiness to lower operating temperatures by reducing the sliding
friction in hypoid gears.
» Superior shear stability and reduced oxidation compared
to other synthetics and conventional gear oils.
» Exceed API GL-5 specifications.
» Engineered to provide the highest degree of protection and improvement
of differential efficiency for better mileage, longer drain intervals,
and less wear.
For E36 & E46 M3, use 75w140
For non-M-Power models use 75w90
Minimum order 2 bottles
Redline
D4ATF
Our most versatile ATF, use where Dexron III®, Dexron
II®, Mercon® and Mercon V® fluids
are recommended, provides a GL-4 level of gear protection. Where MTF-LT3
is specified, use D6ATF not D4ATF.
BMW Manual Transmission Recommendations:
For MTF-LT-1 & MTF-LT-2 use Redline D4ATF & MTL
For MTF-LT-3 use Redline D6ATF
Minimum order 2 bottles

Redline
Water Wetter
These products include a unique agent that lowers temperatures by reducing or eliminating bubbles or vapor barrier that form on hot metal surfaces
» Reduces or eliminates bubbles or vapor barrier that
form on hot metal surfaces to reduce coolant temperatures by up to
20°.
» Superior heat transfer properties compared to glycol-based
antifreeze.
» Compatible with new or used antifreeze (including DEX-COOL
and long-life versions) to improve the heat transfer of ethylene and
propylene glycol systems.
» Improves heat transfer and reduces cylinder head temperature
Minimum order 2 bottles
