Ravenol Hot Red Grease HRG 2 is a high-temperature NLGI 2 lithium-complex bearing grease with strong adhesion, water resistance, oxidation resistance and high thermal load capacity. Developed for roller and friction bearings operating under extreme pressure and high bearing temperatures, it is particularly well suited to demanding wheel-bearing and other bearing applications where temperature resistance is a major requirement.
Why We Stock It
HRG 2 fills a clear position alongside our other Ravenol greases. MoS2 remains the broad workshop, propshaft and sliding-joint grease, while LI-86 is our conventional bearing and UJ grease. Hot Red is the dedicated high-temperature red grease, with a working range to +160°C and short-term temperature resistance up to +200°C. It also answers the surprisingly regular demand for a proper red bearing grease rather than simply adding another general-purpose cartridge to the shelf.

Brand
Ravenol
Ravenol is our main lubricant brand for Land Rover servicing, covering engine oils, manual and automatic gearboxes, transfer boxes, differentials, ACE and power steering, brake fluid, coolant, grease and specialist workshop fluids.
We use Ravenol because the range lets us select the lubricant around the actual engine, gearbox, axle or hydraulic system rather than relying on viscosity alone. The result is a deliberately selected Land Rover range in which every product has a defined job, from TD5 engine oil and R380 MTF-94 to specialist ZF ATF, LT230 oil, limited-slip differential oil and later transfer-box fluids.
Why Twinwoods partners with Ravenol
Ravenol is a genuine German lubricant manufacturer, developing and producing its oils, fluids and greases in Germany. The range is backed by unusually detailed technical data, which matters to us because lubricant choice should be based on much more than the viscosity printed on the bottle.
We use Ravenol in our service kits, recommend it for the Land Rovers we specialise in and use it in vehicles we work on ourselves. More importantly, the range gives us properly specialised products for different engines, gearboxes, transfer boxes, axles and hydraulic systems rather than trying to make one generic lubricant cover everything.
Ravenol oils and fluids for Land Rover
| System | Ravenol products | What matters |
|---|---|---|
| Engine oil | VMO, RUP, Turbo-C HDC, TSi, FO, FLJ, VMP, SFE and Formel Extra | Engine, viscosity, specification, emissions equipment and how the vehicle is used |
| Manual gearboxes | MTF-2 / MTF-94 for the R380 and VSG 75W-90 for the Defender Puma MT82 | Gearbox type and complete lubricant specification rather than viscosity alone |
| Automatic gearboxes | ATF 5/4 HP and ATF Dexron III H | ATF 5/4 HP is our specialist choice for the Discovery 2 ZF 4HP gearbox, while Dexron III H covers compatible general ATF duties |
| Transfer boxes | MZG 80W-90 and VSG 75W-90 for the LT230, plus DTF-1 for compatible later active transfer boxes | Transfer box design and the fluid specification required by that particular unit |
| Axles and differentials | EPX 80W-90, VSG 75W-90, RHP 75W-90, LS 75W-90 and LS 80W-90 | Standard, ATB or limited-slip differential design together with the required viscosity and friction characteristics |
| ACE and power steering | SSF and ATF Dexron III H | Hydraulic system and the correct fluid specification |
| Brakes and clutch | DOT 4 LV and DOT 4 | DOT 4 LV is our main brake and clutch fluid, with conventional DOT 4 retained where appropriate |
| Cooling systems | C12+ OAT and C12evo Si-OAT coolant concentrates | Coolant technology, engine and the fluid already in the cooling system |
| Grease | MoS2 Multi-Purpose Grease, LI-86 Bearing & Propshaft Grease and HRG 2 Hot Red Grease | MoS2 for broad workshop and driveline use, LI-86 for bearings and universal joints, and HRG 2 for high-temperature grease duties |
| Workshop fluids | Professional Engine Cleaner and Winter Screenwash Concentrate | Purpose-specific maintenance products alongside the main lubricant range |
More than the correct number on the bottle
Two oils carrying the same viscosity grade can be very different products. Base oil, additive chemistry, volatility, viscosity stability, friction characteristics and manufacturer specifications all affect how a lubricant behaves once it is hot and working inside the component.
That is particularly important with Land Rovers. An R380 gearbox, LT230 transfer box, Rover differential, ZF automatic gearbox and electronically controlled later transfer box all place different demands on their lubricant. We select the Ravenol product around the component itself rather than simply finding the nearest familiar viscosity.
Ravenol engine oil
Our Ravenol engine-oil range runs from traditional oils for 200TDI, 300TDI and classic petrol engines through to specialist oils for TD5, Defender Puma TDCI and later Land Rover engines. Ravenol VMO 5W-40 remains our main TD5 recommendation, RUP 5W-40 covers very highly tuned TD5 engines, Turbo-C HDC 15W-40 is our preferred oil for standard 200TDI and 300TDI engines, while FO, FLJ, VMP and SFE cover the relevant later engine and emissions-system requirements.

Returns – quick FAQs
How long do I have to return an item?
Who pays return carriage?
What condition must a change-of-mind return be in?
Fitting, attempted fitting, contamination, damage, missing packaging or excessive handling can substantially reduce the value of the goods and may result in a corresponding reduction to your refund.
Can I fit a part and then return it?
Once a part has been fitted or an attempt has been made to fit it, it may be marked, contaminated, damaged or otherwise unsuitable for resale as a new part. We do not operate a used-parts or bargain-bin section, so a fitted or damaged part can have very little resale value.
Where your handling has reduced the value of the goods beyond what is reasonably necessary to inspect them, your refund may be reduced to reflect that loss in value.
What if the item is faulty?
Are any items excluded from change-of-mind returns?
How do I start a return?
Please include your order number and a brief reason for the return. Do not send anything back until you have received the appropriate return instructions.
Buy with confidence: all new parts sold by Twinwoods 4x4 include at least 12 months manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship under normal use.
Some products and brands may include a longer warranty period where this is provided by the manufacturer. Where applicable, this will normally be stated on the individual product page or covered by the manufacturer’s own warranty terms.
Warranty cover applies to manufacturing defects. It does not cover misuse, incorrect fitting, competition use unless stated, contamination, modification, damage during installation, normal wear and tear, or failure caused by an unrelated vehicle fault. For certain components, proof of professional fitment may be required.
Warranty claims may require the part to be returned for inspection and/or supplier testing before the claim is accepted. Any advance replacement is discretionary.
Warranty remedies relate to the part itself, meaning repair or replacement, or refund if those are not possible. Warranty does not cover labour, removal or refitting, diagnostics, consumables, travel or other incidental costs.
This warranty is in addition to your legal rights and does not reduce those rights.
