Born in 1979, Red Line got its start making lubricants for the racing industry. It’s been expanding ever since, now boasting a line of more than 100 motor oils, additives, and lubricants. In that time, Red Line has never lost focus on its racing history, using what it learns on the track to aid in the development of many of its popular fluids.
Red Line is well known among racing enthusiasts for its high-performance products. That focus bleeds into the company’s line of fully synthetic motor oils, with several of its motor oils specifically mentioning their popularity in turbocharged applications, as well as their ability to reduce low-speed pre-ignition. Red Line also notes that the Professional Series is designed to protect against turbocharger deposits.
Not all of Red Line’s oils are for track days and drag strips, either. The company’s line of Professional Series motor oils meet or exceed GM, Chrysler, and Ford recommendations while also resisting high-temp thermal breakdown. Amazon reviews are consistently high, and pricing falls into the middle range of the products offered on our list.
