A one-half gallon rectangular REDEX motor oil tin with a yellow ground and bold red and black typography. The front panel features the iconic REDEX logo with a central red ‘X’ on a black and white target-style ground, surrounded by a red banner. The text identifies the product as an ‘EXTREME PRESSURE OIL ACTIVATOR & CARBON REPELLENT’ and a ‘WORLD WIDE CONVERSION SYSTEM FOR PEAK PERFORMANCE WITH ECONOMY AND LONGER WEAR’. The lower portion of the front panel states the product was ‘ORIGINATED & DEVELOPED IN GREAT BRITAIN’ and ‘MADE IN U.S.A.’ with addresses for REDEX, INC. in Brooklyn 5, N.Y., and REDEX in London W.4, England. The side panels include a ‘Typical REDEX Improvements’ chart documenting technical performance gains and information on joining the REDEX Car Club. The reverse provides detailed application instructions for air-intake injection and mixing ratios for various engine and transmission oils. The top retains its original screw-on metal cap. The tin stands approximately 9 inches tall.
