RedMax OEM MaxLife 2-Cycle Oil Bottle 50:1 5 gal Mix 580357204, 13 oz.

What It Is

This is a pre-measured 13 oz bottle of RedMax MaxLife 2-cycle oil, formulated to mix at 50:1 with one gallon of gasoline (makes 5 gallons of fuel mix). It’s designed specifically for RedMax two-stroke engines (trimmers, blowers, chainsaws, hedge trimmers) and meets JASO FD/ISO L-EGD+ standards for high-performance air-cooled engines.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Check your engine type: Only for 2-cycle (not 4-cycle) RedMax equipment. Does not fit any other brand’s oil requirements unless they also specify 50:1 mix.
• Mix ratio: This is a 50:1 pre-measure bottle (2.6 oz per gallon). Do not use if your engine requires 40:1, 32:1, or any other ratio—using the wrong mix can cause engine damage.
• Bottle size: 13 oz treats 5 gallons of gas. If you need to mix smaller batches, you’ll have to measure out portions (not ideal for precision).
• OEM vs aftermarket: This is genuine RedMax OEM oil. Aftermarket oils (e.g., Stihl, Echo, Husqvarna) are not cross-compatible if you want to maintain warranty or factory spec.
• No deck size or model number to check—just confirm your engine is a RedMax 2-cycle and runs 50:1.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Full synthetic blend with fuel stabilizer and combustion chamber cleaner. Reduces carbon buildup and extends engine life compared to generic 2-cycle oils.
• Installation: Zero difficulty—just pour the entire bottle into a clean 5-gallon gas can, then add 5 gallons of unleaded fuel (no ethanol preferred). Shake well before use.
• Common gotcha: The bottle is a single-use, pre-measured container. Do not attempt to re-use or save partial amounts—the cap is not resealable for long-term storage.
• Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place. Shelf life is typically 2–3 years unopened, but once mixed, use the fuel within 30 days for best performance.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you own a RedMax 2-cycle tool and want a hassle-free, guaranteed-correct oil mix that protects your engine and maintains warranty. It’s ideal for occasional users who don’t want to measure or risk mixing errors. Skip it if you need a 40:1 ratio, own non-RedMax equipment, or prefer buying a larger jug of oil for multiple uses.
