Redmax two stroke oil for a reasonable price

[OM617YOTA]

Found Redmax two stroke oil for $8.5 per quart, although you have to buy four gallons.

Rated FD, my understanding is that this is related to, or the same as, Echo Red Armor.

Well...

Where is it to be found?

The site appears to not like Amazon links. Trying something else.

Oil here

I bought a gallon of it for 45 bucks which is as good a price I’ve seen for FD oil. No clue if it’s the same as Red Armor, definitely has a red color to it. I’ll check later and see if they have the same maker’s marks on the bottle.

From what I can find Redmax changed formula last year. I thought it was maybe the Husky XP formula but I never found anything to support that. This video is all I could find on them changing the formula and the name from MaxLife to MaxPro.

Echo Red Armor and Shindaiwa Red Armor are the same. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Redmax oil in question and Husqvarna XP+ are the same, since they’re owned by the same company

I'd run it.

 

[OM617YOTA]

I'd try a smaller amount of it before running out and buying four gallons.

Mostly an FYI thing for the forum, I barely use any fuel at all.

I’ll be running it, that way I can ration my Red Armor reserve. If there’s anything noteworthy about it, I’ll be sure to keep everyone posted.

For me that came up in an Amazon app that came with the smart phone. After removing from my cart I was offered one gallon for $23.95, just spend a bit more up to $25 for free shipping.

Edit:. Was bar and chain oil not premix.

Just looked at the ad again, the bottle says Husqvarna right on it. Bet you're right.

Just poured out my first oil from the jug and… 99% it’s Husky fd oil. Dark blue green color when poured. For 45 bucks a gallon that’s fine with me.

Redmax is supplied by Husquarna Group also not the same as Red Armor which is supplied by Phillips for both Echo & Shindawi products .

It's a real deal FD rated oil so it will work great.

Link I posted up there is now $199.99/4 gallons. For that price, I'd pay ten more bucks and get Red Armor instead.

That's a steal at $50 a gallon , although Red Armor has always proven to be the highest quality !

How much Red Armor have you run and whats it cost in CA.

Red Armor only 2 applications racing Drag sleds in snowmobiling when it 1st came out . 2nd in a 357 xp that I ported & ran 50:1 during its initial break in , so a few tanks . I then went with Interceptor at 40:1 for 3 yrs , most recently have switch to Dominator @ 44:1 with a fat tune . Dominator , my cost $48 Cdn. a gallon so Red Armor @ $50 USD. is a consideration for my 660 Milling saw . What does the cost in Ca. have any relativity ? P.S. Even at $60 USD. at todays price index for a Certified FD oil it's a consideration to me !
