Benicia, Calif. (October 6, 2020) – Red Line Synthetic Oil, a leader in the performance lubricant industry, today announced, SuperCool antifreeze/coolant. Designed to lower coolant temperatures by as much as 20 degrees Fahrenheit while simultaneously protecting against harmful rust and corrosion. The new SuperCool products are available for order at authorized Red Line distributors and www.redlineoil.com.
Red Line has been helping vehicle owners and enthusiasts take care of their vehicle’s cooling systems for more than 25 years with the company’s famous additive, WaterWetter®. Originally designed for racing applications, WaterWetter was created specifically to reduce strain on the cooling system, allowing for more reliable performance. Now, that same technology is available to consumers in an easy-to-use antifreeze/coolant, designed to drastically reduce engine temperatures, providing maximum performance and increased reliability.
“The new SuperCool line is the culmination of our 25 years of experience in cooling system additives,” said Art Kendrick, Product Expert at Red Line Synthetic Oil. “We wanted to provide our customers with an easy-to-use antifreeze/coolant product that offers the benefits of our WaterWetter additive and the advanced protection our products are known for.”
Red Line’s SuperCool line features SuperCool Performance, a 50/50 prediluted version, and Super Cool Concentrate, for those who prefer to create their own water-to-coolant ratio. Both products are formulated for use in both modern and classic radiators and water pumps. During an independent test, Red Line’s SuperCool Performance reduced average coolant temperatures by 19.2 degrees Fahrenheit over OEM coolant under constant load.
SuperCool also provides protection against the initial effects of corrosion and helps prevent further damage, maintaining your engine’s optimum performance over the lifetime of the vehicle. Both SuperCool formulas can be added to any brand of existing OEM antifreeze/coolant in any make or model.
“At Red Line, we pride ourselves on creating products that vehicle owners and enthusiasts can count on to provide extremely high levels of performance and protection,” said Justin Johnson, Director of Red Line Synthetic Oil. “We took our extensive knowledge from our popular WaterWetter product line, and applied it to the next logical step, a complete coolant product. Like all of our products, our goal was to raise the bar, and we’re confident that our customers will see reduced coolant temperatures without sacrificing protection.”
Since the beginning, Red Line Synthetic Oil has created products for racing applications with the idea that racers require the best of the best. This philosophy of creating the most advanced lubricants has become a pillar of the brand, not just within its racing line but with all of its product offerings. Red Line creates its synthetic oils and advanced additives using the world’s finest base stocks so consumers can rest assured their vehicles are receiving only the highest quality fluids.
In 1979, Red Line Synthetic Oil began creating lubricants for the racing industry. Today, Red Line Synthetic Oil manufactures more than 100 products, including motor oils, gear oils, ATFs, assembly lubes, fuel additives and the popular WaterWetter cooling additive for the automotive, motorcycle, marine and industrial markets. Red Line Synthetic Oil uses extensive knowledge of racing to create high-performance products for track cars and street vehicles. To find a dealer or order online, go to www.redlineoil.com.
Annapolis Junction, Md. – ESAB Welding & Cutting Products has transformed its Sureweld brand of Stick welding electrodes to meet the needs of retail customers. The company has expanded the number of grades available and packaged the 3/32- and 1/8-in. diameter electrodes in 1- and 5-lb. resealable plastic tubes.
Sureweld carbon steel electrodes grades include 7018, 6010, 6011, 6013, 7014 and 7024; stainless steel grades available include 308L, 309L, 316L and 312. These grades are available in 5/32-in. diameter, 5-lb. packages as well. ESAB also offers retail packaging for Sureweld 55 Cast for cast iron repair and will introduce a 4043 aluminum electrode later in Q3.
“The Sureweld portfolio meets the needs of professional and occasional welders who use smaller quantities of particular electrode grade or who want to use factory-fresh electrodes when starting a new project,” says Halinson Campos, Product Business Manager – Filler Metals, ESAB. “The 1/8-in. diameter is the most popular electrode in the world and many applications require one pound or less of electrodes, so we wanted to align our new packaging with the way welders work.”
The new packaging includes new color-coded identification and retail displays to help distributors and customers select the proper product. Reasonably-priced Sureweld electrodes are formulated to meet AWS guidelines and are manufactured in Monterrey, Mexico, enabling ESAB to control quality and consistency when ensuring reliable availability. Sureweld 7018 electrodes are designed to produce X-ray quality welds, while Sureweld 6011 electrodes are ABS (American Bureau of Shipping) approved.
“The Sureweld portfolio meets the needs of every common Stick welding application,” says Campos. “Sureweld electrodes are an excellent complement to ESAB’s new MiniArc Rogue Stick welder, an 18-lb. inverter that offers the industry’s best combination of power, performance and affordability.” To showcase the connection, ESAB is giving away a free 5-lb. sample package of Sureweld electrodes with every Rogue purchase; visit esab.com/roguepromo for details.
Electrode Innovator
ESAB founder Oscar Kjellberg, a ship engineer, invented the world’s first Stick electrode in 1907 to solve contamination and embrittlement issues in ship building, laying the foundations of modern welding. Today, ESAB offers an industry-leading Stick electrode portfolio for welding and hardfacing, as well as its Exaton™ brand for challenging stainless steel and nickel alloy applications. It’s Atom Arc® 7018, Atom Arc 7018 Acclaim and Sureweld 10P/10P Plus are made from domestic steel cores at ESAB’s Hanover, Pa., filler metal facility and meet Buy America requirements.
Last year, ESAB launched its ESAB 7018-1 Prime low-hydrogen Stick electrodes (AWS E7018-1 H4R) in the U.S. market. ESAB 7018-1 Prime comes in a 24-lb. master carton that contains six VacPac™ vacuum-sealed packages.
“The VacPac contains 4 lbs. of electrodes because the average welder in an industrial operation consumes 3 to 5 lbs. of electrodes per shift,” notes Campos. “Compared to the industry’s standard 50-lb. cans, VacPac reduces or eliminates the need to scrap unused electrodes at the end of the day or re-bake them in a rod oven. Four-pound packages are also much easier for operators to carry and less expensive to ship.”
At ESAB, we exist to shape the future of welding and cutting. We connect fabricators with the widest range of products under our industry-leading brand portfolio with the latest technologies to solve virtually any industry challenge — then we back it up with our knowledge, experience and passion to help them be more productive than ever before.

KC, The Original in off-road lighting, releases its next era in off-road lighting, the KC FLEX ERA™ 3. The entire product line is being updated to reflect a highly focused effort across both aesthetics and power with the FLEX ERA™ 3 being the first to be unveiled.
The KC FLEX ERA 3; a purpose-built solution to meet the needs of offroaders for a compact and powerful light. From A-pillars and bumpers to racks and fog pockets and beyond, the FLEX ERA 3 is a runway for versatility and customization without sacrificing light output. “It’s been too long since we’ve put some focus on our loyal Toyota, Subaru and UTV communities. We believe that the FLEX ERA 3’s iconic new shape, extremely compact footprint and unique bezel color personalization will resonate with these consumer segments. Most importantly, we’re innovating and thinking like industry leaders both in aesthetic, function and performance.” says CEO, Alan Wang.
This small and mighty powerhouse features an iconic and unique 3-light triangular form factor featuring an amber backlight and 3 high powered CREE LEDs rivaling anything else similar in size. “We like to think of 3 lights being more powerful than 2 but as good as 4 in less space. Again, KC is taking risks to bring customers a level of personality and performance never seen.” says Director of Marketing, Ali Sedaghat.
The aluminum housing itself features an extremely thoughtful and unique tooling and die cast process allowing for a shape that is multifaceted in its approach to heatsink fin design and visual appeal. The cast aluminum structure also boasts greater durability over its predecessor and works functionally to dissipate the heat away from the diodes.
As with all KC products, the FLEX ERA 3 has been battle tested by our off-road race teams before making it to the public. With an IP68 rating you’re talking, dust proof, water proof and adventure proof. From the mountains of Colorado to the hot desert roads of Baja, the FLEX ERA 3 has been designed to withstand the elements. And speaking of heat, the FLEX series also features LED thermal protection so they’ll automatically adjust to all the environmental variables during any adventure.
With an initial offering in spot and combo patterns the FLEX ERA 3 will also be available in an SAE FOG pattern with either clear or amber lenses. At the core of the FLEX series is its adaptability to various needs. We’ve designed it with modularity in mind; available bezels in multiple colors (red, blue, black, and gold), multiple optics (spot and spread), and snap-on covers (black printed with KC logos, clear and amber).
Mounting is easy and features a repositionable mounting bracket that can orient the light 180 degrees from center. This opens up the room for builders to create their own mounts as well as unique positioning of the light for custom placements to a symmetrical staggered look by running them in series.
The FLEX ERA 3 is the culmination of over 50 years of passion to inspire people & communities and our lighting experience. Just the beginning of the next 50 years of helping our consumers to Adventure Further. We look forward to seeing where that adventure takes you!
Since 1970, KC has been manufacturing auxiliary performance lighting for off-road vehicles.Our mission is to deliver performance built, rigorously tested lighting solutions to consumers all over the world. We are committed to placing ingenuity, quality and value at the heart of every KC product and delivering unmatched levels of customer service and support. 2020 is KC’s 50th year in operation.
Our vision is to create a brighter world, full of adventure through meaningful experiences with each other.
Our mission is to design premium unique products that illuminate life’s adventures.
It’s time to battle it out for the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP!
What an insane year. If there is anything Ultra4 racers are known for, however, it’s the ability to adapt, overcome, and finish… in every circumstance. #NeverQuit is more than just a hashtag, it’s how we race. One of the adaptations for this year has been a change of venue for our final Nationals event of the year. We are thrilled to be back in Davis, Oklahoma (with no tornados this time) at the Cross Bar Ranch! Fantastic venue and JT Taylor has prepared a killer racecourse in a fitting end to the season. Please read below for more information and details regarding the 2020 4WP Nitto Tire Nationals!
Registration
Online driver registration is STILL OPEN and will be available online through midnight PT on Tuesday, Oct 21st. Onsite registration will also be available, but there is an additional $100 surcharge for onsite registration. Registration is a different online link this year and it’s not too late to register. Click HERE. Another unique factor to Nationals 2020 is the that ANYONE can race in this event, even if it’s your first race of the year. The “First Round On Us” promotion does apply for Nationals. The caveat: If Nationals IS your first race of 2020, it will NOT count towards KOH 2021 eligibility.

We will award the race event trophies, then do a quick set change and present the National Points Awards, also on site. In lieu of a sit down banquet this year, we’re going to have a huge party with BBQ and friends and family. Less formal than in years past, but no less honoring of the season achievements. Awards will be broadcast via livestream as usual. Driver’s and Co-Drivers will receive a wristband for the BBQ dinner as a part of their race entry, courtesy of Nitto Tire.
