Red Line CV-2 Synthetic Red Moly Grease — 14 oz Jar for CV Joints & Wheel Bearings, High-Temp Protection

Red Line 80401 CV-2 is a high-performance synthetic red-moly grease designed for CV joints, wheel bearings, and U-joints, delivering extended protection across extreme temperatures and pressures.

This 14-ounce jar of Red Line CV-2 synthetic grease combines advanced polymers and red molybdenum disulfide to resist oxidation, reduce wear, and maintain consistency from -100°F to 500°F. It’s formulated to outperform typical conventional and synthetic greases, minimizing oil separation and evaporation while remaining compatible with rubber seals. Use it where sustained lubrication under heavy load, high angle articulation, or wide temperature swings is required.

How does this grease protect CV joints and U-joints during heavy use?

Red Line CV-2 forms a durable lubricating film that cuts friction and shields metal surfaces under load. The red moly additive provides boundary lubrication at contact points, reducing metal-to-metal wear when bearings and joints see high pressure or shock loading.

• Red molybdenum disulfide adds boundary-film protection at high loads
• Synthetic base resists shear and preserves film strength
• Low oil separation keeps lubricant on surfaces, not drained away
• Works across a broad temperature band to prevent breakdown

Will this grease handle extreme temperatures like winter startups or hot-running bearings?

Yes — CV-2 is engineered for exceptional thermal stability, remaining effective from very low to very high temperatures. It resists evaporation and oxidation that commonly thin greases at elevated heat, and it stays pumpable and adherent in severe cold starts.

• Functional range from approximately -100°F to 500°F
• Low evaporation rate reduces short-term losses at high heat
• Oxidation resistance extends grease service life under thermal stress
• Maintains pliability in cold to prevent stiffening and seal leakage

Is this grease safe for seals and varied automotive applications?

Red Line CV-2 is formulated to minimize adverse effects on common rubber seals while delivering strong corrosion resistance. It’s intended for wheel bearings, CV and U-joints, and other high-angle or high-load components where grease retention and seal compatibility matter.

• Designed to have minimal detrimental impact on rubber seals
• Strong corrosion protection for metal components
• Suitable for wheel bearings, CV joints, U-joints, and similar parts
• 14-ounce jar size for workshop or fleet maintenance tasks

How does Red Line CV-2 compare to conventional greases for service intervals?

Because of its synthetic base, moly content, and resistance to oxidation, CV-2 typically extends the interval between reapplications compared with many conventional greases. Lower oil separation and enhanced film strength reduce the frequency of maintenance in demanding environments.

• Enhanced film strength reduces mechanical breakdown under shear
• Lower oil separation maintains lubricity longer
• Improved oxidation resistance slows aging and hardening
• Often lengthens service intervals on heavily loaded components

Who is this for? Red Line 80401 CV-2 is aimed at professional mechanics, motorsport teams, fleet maintenance crews, and DIY enthusiasts who need reliable lubrication for CV joints, wheel bearings, and U-joints under severe operating conditions. If you require a grease that endures high temperatures, heavy loads, and wide thermal swings while being mindful of seal compatibility, this 14-ounce synthetic red-moly formulation is engineered to meet those demands.
