Hi

 

Does anyone know if 'Redex' is still available? If not, is there a substitute? I have an old Stuart Turner engine in a boat and I

have been avised to spray some Redex in the cyliner when the boat is laid up for the winter.

 

Thanks in anticipation of help

Hi Ernest,

Faher do a two stroke oil that is basically the same as the original Redex - a mineral oil. Looks and smells the same.

I bought some from Classic heritage oils at Bicester a few months back but can;t see it now.

Hi Ernest,

Given the possibly changed formula perhaps use a "Fogging Oil" specifically for marine engines.

I use this in my Mariner 150 and it coates the cylinders and induction side for winter a treat.

 

As I pointed out in a previous post about the changed formula of Slick 50 the same perhaps applies to Redex?
