Red Line CV-2 Synthetic CV Grease — 14 oz Jar with Red Moly, High-Temp & Extreme-Pressure Protection

Red Line 80401 CV-2 is a high-performance synthetic grease cartridge formulated with red molybdenum for extreme-pressure protection in CV joints, U-joints and bearings.

This synthetic CV grease blends advanced base oils and a red moly friction modifier to deliver long-lasting lubrication where heavy loads, wide temperature swings and water exposure are common. Packaged in a 14-ounce jar-sized cartridge, it fits grease guns and service kits for automotive and off-road drivetrain maintenance. The formula emphasizes oxidation resistance, seal compatibility, and minimal oil separation so components run smoothly and retain protection over time.

How does Red Line CV-2 perform under heavy load and pressure?

CV-2 includes a red molybdenum friction additive and a shear-stable thickener to form a durable lubricating film that resists metal-to-metal contact under extreme pressure. It prevents scuffing and reduces wear during high-angle operation and repeated torque cycles.

• Red moly improves boundary lubrication at contact points.
• Shear-stable structure maintains consistency under cyclic loads.
• Rated for applications where high pressure and impact occur.

Will it work in a wide temperature range and harsh environments?

The grease is formulated for exceptional thermal stability, functioning across a broad operating range from very low to very high temperatures. It resists oxidation and has low evaporation, so it keeps lubricating properties even after extended exposure to heat, cold or moisture.

• Operational performance from low temperatures up to 500°F.
• Strong resistance to oxidation extends service life.
• Low oil separation minimizes leakage and mess around seals.

Is it compatible with seals and typical drivetrain components?

CV-2 is engineered to be seal-friendly with minimal swelling or degradation of common rubber and elastomer materials in CV boots and bearing seals. Its formulation balances tack and flow so it stays where needed without attacking hoses or boots.

• Limited effect on rubber seals reduces premature failure risk.
• Suitable for CV joints, U-joints and wheel bearings in many vehicles.
• Packaged for easy grease-gun or hand-application during service.

How does the 14-ounce cartridge fit into maintenance routines?

The 14-ounce jar provides a convenient refill size for workshops and enthusiasts who service CV joints and related driveline components. It’s sized to fit standard grease guns and offers enough volume for multiple maintenance sessions without excessive storage bulk.

• 14-ounce cartridge works with most grease guns or hand-apply methods.
• Good balance between capacity and shelf/storage convenience.
• Ideal for routine CV joint service, off-road prep and fleet maintenance.

Who is this for: Red Line 80401 CV-2 is aimed at professional mechanics, automotive enthusiasts and fleet owners who need a reliable synthetic grease that handles heavy loads, extreme angles and wide temperature swings. If you service CV joints, U-joints or wheel bearings and prioritize long-lasting protection, seal compatibility and reduced maintenance intervals, this 14-ounce cartridge is a practical choice for routine and demanding drivetrain lubrication tasks.
