Red Line 80312 Assembly Lube - Pack of 3 x 118ml Screw-Lid Pots
Red Line specialist assembly lubricant for engine and drivetrain assembly, rebuild and pre-start lubrication applications where freshly assembled components require protection before normal oil circulation is established.
Red Line Assembly Lube is designed to coat potential wear surfaces during assembly, helping prevent metal-to-metal contact during initial start-up before adequate lubrication reaches newly assembled components.
It is suitable for lubricated assembly surfaces including camshafts, lifters or followers, pushrods, piston skirts, main bearings, connecting-rod bearings and suitable bolt threads. Red Line states that the formulation provides approximately three times the film strength of conventional black molybdenum-disulphide greases.
The formulation is designed to mix with engine oil after start-up rather than plugging the oil filter. It also provides strong rust and corrosion protection, making it useful both during assembly and where freshly machined or assembled components may be stored before use.

Fitment advice: Red Line Assembly Lube is application-based rather than vehicle-specific. Apply a thin protective coating to appropriate lubricated components during engine or drivetrain assembly. Red Line advises using only a small amount on bearing and piston surfaces, as excessive product can make the engine more difficult to turn over.
Other items to consider: When assembling or rebuilding an engine, you may also want to consider purchasing engine oil, oil filters, gaskets and seals, RTV or sealants, suitable thread lubricant, anti-seize for appropriate high-temperature fasteners and other engine-building consumables.
Useful tools / consumables: Torque wrench, clean assembly brushes, lint-free cloths, brake cleaner or degreaser, protective gloves, engine-building tools and suitable measuring equipment.
Difficulty guide: DIY Difficulty: Advanced. Applying the lubricant itself is straightforward, but it is normally used as part of engine or drivetrain assembly where correct cleanliness, clearances, lubrication and torque procedures are critical.
Why Red Line? Red Line Synthetic Oil is known for high-performance lubricants, fluids and additives developed for demanding road, track and motorsport use. Red Line products are chosen by enthusiasts, workshops and engine builders for their focus on protection, thermal stability, friction control and application-specific performance.
What’s in the box: Three Red Line Assembly Lube screw-lid pots, each containing 118ml, providing 354ml total product.
Service notes: Apply a thin film to appropriate lubricated surfaces before assembly. Use sparingly on bearing and piston surfaces. Do not use on exhaust bolts or other high-temperature fasteners where a dedicated anti-seize compound is required.
