WE KNOW ENOUGH AND CARE ENOUGH TO OFFER WHAT IS RIGHT FOR YOUR
FIAT!

IMPORTANT TRANSMISSION SERVICE INFORMATION

Virtually every Fiat 850 we see is long overdue for a change of transmission oil. The Redline 75W-90 factory recommends a change every 18,000 miles and we recommend a change immediately after you purchase a used car - no telling how long it's been in there.

Redline 75W-90 Synthetic Gear Oil is designed to provide the highest degree of protection and efficiency for transmissions. Everything you can do to prevent the ring and pinion from wearing and thereby preventing subsequent failure is absolutely worth it! The ring and pinion for a Spider costs hundreds of dollars for the parts alone, so a little preventive maintenance could save up BIG $$$ down the road And what Fiat owner doesn't want to save $$$ !!!

The synthetic base stock components in Redline Gear Oil provide a naturally high viscosity index, so large amounts of unstable thickeners are not required in manufacturing. Red Line Gear Oil provides tremendous thermal stability, the best film strength available and the ability to cope with high torque, high speed and high shock loads. In addition, Red Line Gear Oil can provide a significant improvement in power transfer and fuel economy, while at the same time providing thicker oil films in  the high-temperature contact zone which improves drivetrain durability.

  • Provides the greatest gear protection available
  • Suitable for both conventional and limited-slip differentials
  • Reduces differential temperatures
  • Increases differential durability
  • Rapid lubrication even in very cold weather
  • Provides improved drivetrain efficiency
  • Prevents foaming even at high speeds
  • Stable even at elevated temperatures
  • Highest film strength available
  • Suitable for competition and street use
  • Compatible with petroleum and other synthetics
  • Compatible with seals designed for petroleum
  • Satisfies requirements calling for API GL-5 and GL-6
  • Allows extended drains in non-warranty vehicles

Redline Synthetic Gear Oil, 75W-90, $8.95


COOLING SYSTEM PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT

Let's face it... 850's are known to run "hot". That tiny cooling system is struggling all the time to keep up with that high revving engine. Red Line WaterWetter® Supercoolant is a unique wetting agent for cooling systems which can reduce coolant temperatures by as much as 10°F to 30°F. It can be added to any new or used antifreeze to improve the heat transfer of ethylene and propylene glycol systems. Designed for types of cooling systems, Red Line WaterWetter® will provide the proper corrosion inhibition for all cooling system metals, including aluminum, cast iron, steel, copper, brass, and lead. This is especially important for 850's where an aluminum head is bolted to a steel block. Redline Water Wetter

  • Doubles the wetting ability of water
  • Improves heat transfer, reducing operating temperatures as much as 30°F
  • Reduces cylinder head temperatures
  • May allow more spark advance for increased torque
  • Reduces rust, corrosion and electrolysis of all metals
  • Provides long term corrosion protection
  • Cleans and lubricates water pump seals
  • Prevents foaming
  • Reduces cavitation corrosion
  • Complexes with hard water to reduce scale

Redline Water Wetter, WW-1, $9.15 per 12oz. bottle 


FUEL SYSTEM MAINTENANCE INFORMATION

The #1 trouble with all fuel systems is dirt and clogging, another well known 850 problem. Hard starting, rough idle, poor mileage and lack of power or response are all signs of this problem.

Red Line SI-1 Fuel Injector Cleaner contains the most powerful high-temperature detergents available to clean fuel systems. The cleansing of deposits can raise fuel economy 12% or more, depending on the condition of your fuel system. SI-1 also contains detergents and a synthetic upper cylinder head lubricant which will clean the intake valves, pollution control valves and combustion deposits. Also, SI-1 removes water from the fuel thereby protecting the fuel system components from rust. The 16 ounce bottle will treat up to 25 gallons of fuel.

  • Cleans injectors and carburetors to like-new efficiency
  • Prevents fuel system rust
  • Cleans intake valve deposits
  • Lubricates upper cylinder and valves
  • Reduces pre-ignition and run-on
  • Cleans emission control systems
  • Stabilizes gasoline and prevents carburetor icing
  • Safe for all gasoline vehicles

Redline Fuel System Cleaner, SI-1, $5.95 per 15oz. bottle


Agip Dot 4 HIGH PERFORMANCE BRAKE FLUID
(Agip is the large, Italian lubricants company whose products
are recommended by FIAT, just look in your Owner's Manual)

Agip BRAKE FLUID DOT 4 is expressly designed for use in all disc and drum brake systems and in clutch control systems. It is specifically suitable for those cases where the brake system is subject to very severe operation conditions such as "track" days, cars pulling trailers, commercial vehicles, etc. With it's high boiling point, Agip Brake Fluid can be used with absolute safety, even when the brake system is subject to particularly high temperatures. Agip Brake also resists harmful contamination from moisture which can cause vapor lock, and its high boiling point remains within safe limits even when moisture is present in the brake circuit. It is non-corrosive to metals used in brake circuits, and to rubber seals and gaskets. It has good lubricating and antiwear properties and safely mixes with all DOT 3 and DOT 4 brake fluids. Agip DOT 4 exceeds both the requirements of SAE-J1703 and FMVSS-116 for a DOT 4 motor vehicle brake fluid. 12 oz. bottle

Agip DOT 4 Brake Fluid $3.79 per 12oz. bottle
