I don't have the chance to call Dave, so does anyone know if the Red Line limited slip friction modifier is group 4/5 based or not.
It certainly smells like it has mucho POE in it!!

Since POE virtually has no smell, you are most likely smelling the LS compound.

Maybe, but it has that same characteristic "plastic-y" smell that their motor oils possess. (I guess that's the add pack I'm smelling in those??)
It is NOT the harsh, acrid, pungent Ford/Motorcraft XL-3 smell that is sooooo strong it reeks right through the sealed bottle, even when wrapped/sealed in 4-5 plastic zip lock bags!!!

My second to last jug of VP Racing 5W30 from their clearance a few years back smells like citrius gumi bears......I know it is ester's derviced from Castor Bean and I also know they have some Extreme Pressure agents that are sulfur ester's according to the label. I just know that it's base stock and additives smells like citrus candy to me or a citrus European perfume.Dever smelled anything like it!
I know the smell you are talking about because most of Redline Oils product smell the same until you get to their gear lubes.
