Red tubes is a trademark of Loctite. ALL of their threadlockers come in a red tube/bottle, no matter the color of the fluid. Permatex uses a blue tube.

manual calls for red 262, the PDF doesn't have 262 on it.

I posted screenshots of a similar PDF here inquiring about 272. Dealer only carries 271. ?!?!

Ordered 262 online yesterday....could not find it locally for some reason.
