Red Line 11405 10W40 Synthetic Motor Oil - 3.78L
High-performance Red Line synthetic engine oil for petrol and diesel engines requiring SAE 10W40 API SN/SM/SL/CF, ACEA A3/B3/B4 or a specifically supported equivalent specification.
Red Line 10W40 is formulated using polyol ester and PAO synthetic base stocks chosen for naturally strong multigrade viscosity characteristics, high-temperature protection and shear stability under demanding road, track and performance use.
The formulation is designed to provide strong film strength, oxidation resistance and stable viscosity while reducing reliance on unnecessary viscosity-index-improving additives that can shear down in severe service. It is fully compatible with conventional and synthetic motor oils.
Red Line publishes API SN/SM/SL/CF and ACEA A3/B3/B4 performance levels, along with a range of manufacturer reference equivalents including BMW, Ford, GM, Nissan, PSA and Toyota specifications.
