This is a 6-pack of RedMax OEM MaxLife 2-Cycle Engine Oil (2.6 oz bottles), pre-measured to mix with 1 gallon of gasoline. It’s specifically formulated for RedMax handheld outdoor power equipment (trimmers, blowers, chainsaws, hedge trimmers) requiring a 50:1 fuel-to-oil ratio.
Fitment & Compatibility
- Engine type: Only for air-cooled 2-cycle (2-stroke) engines. Not for 4-cycle or water-cooled engines.
- Mix ratio: 50:1 (each 2.6 oz bottle treats 1 gallon of gas). Do not use in engines requiring 40:1, 32:1, or other ratios.
- Brand compatibility: Designed for RedMax products but works in any 50:1 air-cooled 2-cycle engine (e.g., Husqvarna, Echo, Stihl, Poulan). However, using non-OEM oil may void RedMax warranty on RedMax equipment.
- Replaces: 580357201 (older part number). Verify your manual calls for 50:1 and MaxLife oil.
- What to check: Confirm your equipment’s fuel/oil ratio (stamped on engine or in manual). If it’s 50:1, this fits. If not, do not use.
Key Things to Know
- Pre-measured convenience: Each 2.6 oz bottle eliminates measuring errors—just empty into 1 gallon of unleaded gasoline.
- OEM quality: MaxLife oil includes fuel stabilizers and deposit-fighting additives. Less smoke and carbon buildup than generic 2-cycle oils.
- No mixing required: Just pour bottle into gas can, shake, and use. No need for separate measuring cups.
- Shelf life: Unopened bottles last 3–5 years stored cool/dry. Mixed fuel should be used within 30 days or stabilized.
Should You Buy It
Buy this if you own RedMax 2-cycle equipment or any 50:1 air-cooled engine and want hassle-free, pre-measured oil that protects against wear and keeps the engine clean. It’s a no-brainer for RedMax owners wanting OEM spec, and a solid choice for anyone who values convenience and consistent mix ratios. If you mix large volumes or have engines with non-50:1 ratios, skip it.
