Hardly racers, but the kids beat the snot out of them. My first experience with Redline oils was using their 2-Cycle racing oil for a small fleet of Puch mopeds. Here's the link to the product on Redline's site: What I've got isn't actually the racing oil, it's the regular 2 cycle Smokeless Oil. I kept the crank around to show the rust to others. My Husky dirt bike also failed a crank on RRO. I would never use it again, nor could I recommend it.Ī quick google search of redline racing oil corrosion brings up a few users who had the classic corrosion problem. How a metal surface can be both oily and have rust on it is beyond me, but clearly this oil lacks any proper corrosion-inhibitors, and it must have very high levels of esters that give it a strong hygroscopic effect. It also had a tendency to gum up the carb jets for some reason. But this oil actually left surface rust on the crank wheels, and tarnished the carb brass. The piston and cylinder looked good, with minor shiny spots but no scuffing, and everything was reasonably clean and well-lubed. Maybe it's great oil for shifter karts when the engines are fuel are changed regularly.ĮDIT: from another RRO user: Redline: This was a strange oil. I actually had a ryobi fail on this stuff! Took it apart and guess what I found? RUST! It promotes corrosion of internal brass carb parts and does not prevent internal engine corrosion (remember, most 2 stroke oils do a great job of preventing internal engine corrosion). However, if you are talking about Redline Racing Oil (2t), that is not a product for the non racer.
