In the crowded landscape of automotive marketing, Supercheap Auto has found an unlikely annual ritual: a cinematic spectacle that transforms the mundane act of buying motor oil into something people choose to watch. Now in its eleventh year, the Best Performing Oils campaign released 'Redline Delivery,' a seven-and-a-half-minute zombie action film that has drawn 1.7 million views — a reminder that even the most utilitarian products can find cultural resonance when imagination is given the wheel.
