How did I NOT post here until Now.?.
I ONLY use Redline products and Have used them for Many Years..
I think I'll start off by FIRST saying ;
I don't Need to BUY the bottle that states for V-twins...
YOU CAN if you wish, YES it is Especially made for V-twins, Tell you so Right On the Bottle.... But just a few years BEFORE they(redline) CHANGED their labels to assure: it is indeed a V-Twin use Product.
I have Ordered REDLINE products for RE-Sale, Many years back,, Just selling to Bikers I know. Thru My business at that time, "Welding and Repair."
I ordered by the cases and that made it a good $$ saved for MY use Also.
Now with that said and a Recent call to "Dave" the Redline Tech.
I was asking him about the label change(V-Twin label) after many years of using Redline products in the Harleys and air cooled engines..
I ASKED him the Questions and Stated My feelings...:
I think THE LABEL Change and 3$ more a Bottle wasn't worth the change FOR ME to USE the NEW LABLED For V-Twins... Is IT WORTH the Extra COST.??..
He REPLIED Evasively but finally Not wanting to get Cornered,,, ASKED ME a Question.;
Have you ever HAD any Problems using our Products BEFORE OUR LABEL CHANGE????
I answered NO... He said that should answer your Question......
He suggested I COULD still USE the REGULAR LABELED OILS I have BOUGHT in the PAST...... AS Nothing Has Changed in them...
He Justified the New V-Twin Labels as Having a LITTLE More anti wear in the 20/60 labeled V-Twin m engine oil, but MOSTLY label changes were to just to acknowledge the USE for V-Twins.....
As far as the "Regular Blue Labeled Bottle 20/50 Redline I used", NO Changes there. Same GREAT product in there..
As far as the Other FINE lubes like MTL for the primary(i use today) and the regular Pink bottle of Shockproof Heavy for the Tranny (i use today) Nothing DIFFERENT with the product inside but the LABELs stating V-Twin....
I noticed that the MTL color is different in V-twin label bottle...
I know after the years I have USED and SOLD their products that they would Lead me astray....
I just CAN"T Justify in my own mind to pay MORE$ Just for the Label that ASSURES ME it is for V-twins... I KNEW THAT FOR YEARS.
I'll continue to use the REGULAR LABELED Redline Products as I have for the many TROUBLE FREE past years... Saving a few $$ on the labels.
The new labels do state V-TWIN
The Regular Labels I will STILL USE :
20/50 Blue Bottle engine oil
MTL Yellow labeled for the Primary
Heavy Shockproof Pink label bottle for the tranny..
I doubt IF there is any changes in these products I use above That a V-TWIN Label Can Improve On .... Just 3$ more a Quart
signed....BUBBIE
YET to this Day, I Have NEVER had any (ANY) metal on the tranny magnetic plug....
