Red Line 80401 CV-2 Synthetic Grease with Organic Moly - 397g Tub
Premium Red Line fully synthetic extreme-pressure grease for suitable wheel bearings, CV joints, universal joints, chassis components and other demanding automotive, motorsport and industrial applications.
Red Line CV-2® is engineered to withstand the extreme temperatures and pressures encountered in high-performance bearings and driveline components. Its synthetic formulation provides excellent high-temperature stability, extreme-pressure protection and water resistance.
The formulation contains organic molybdenum to provide additional load-carrying and anti-wear performance. Red Line specifically recommends CV-2® for applications including wheel bearings, universal joints, high-angle CV joints and chassis lubrication.
CV-2® also provides strong resistance to oxidation and corrosion, low evaporation and reduced oil separation, while being formulated to minimise adverse effects on compatible rubber seals.

Fitment advice: CV-2® is application-based rather than vehicle-specific. Use only where an NLGI #2 synthetic extreme-pressure grease of this type is appropriate for the component being serviced and follow the component or vehicle manufacturer's lubrication requirements.
Grease compatibility: When changing from another grease, thoroughly remove old or contaminated lubricant wherever practical before applying CV-2® to minimise contamination and potential compatibility issues.
Typical uses: Particularly suited to serviceable wheel bearings, high-angle CV joints, universal joints and other heavily loaded components where excellent temperature stability, water resistance and extreme-pressure protection are required.
Other items to consider: Depending on the job, you may also want to consider replacement CV boots, CV boot clips, wheel bearings, bearing seals, hub nuts, driveshaft hardware and related service components.
Useful tools / consumables: Protective gloves, workshop towels, degreaser, suitable applicator or brush and appropriate bearing or CV-joint servicing tools where required.
Difficulty guide: DIY Difficulty: Easy to Advanced depending on application. Applying grease to an accessible component is straightforward, while dismantling and repacking wheel bearings or CV joints may require specialist tools and experience.
Why Red Line? Red Line Synthetic Oil is known for high-performance lubricants, fluids and additives developed for demanding road, track and motorsport use.
