Where to buy Redline MT-90?

Anybody know where I can find this stuff (preferrably online)? I've checked with all the local auto parts stores and no one carries it.

Thanks,
phong

Did you look into Amsoil Gear Fluid? Much better, IMHO...

Google it, many online stores carry it.

Got mine from www.ogracing.com, of course, they are local to me too.

Personal experience.

AMSOIL motor oil has a 25,000mile life span with regular oil changes.

AMSOIL gear fluid provides for smooth shifting in ALL temperature conditions. Redline gear oil is notchy as s'hit in colder conditions.

Read around, there are many other whom have tried both and have almost ALL gone with AMSOIlL after trying MT90.

I've tried both. I like MT-90 better for shift feel over Amsoil. Amsoil was very nice though, it seemed to give me a tad more power/allowed the car to move a little easier (lower friction?)

If it moved easier and procided better power, then why switch?

Around the time I did my clutch I found I wasn't going to be anywhere near the place I normally buy Amsoil, but was near OG Racing (listed above; I was out there for work-related reasons) so I shuffled over there after work and got some MT90. I'd use either of them. The stuff I used before the clutch job was Series 2000 75W-90. Did they deprecate that? I didn't see it in the online catalog... I know Series 2000 is OK for our trannies even though it is GL-5 compliant I think? I'm just not sure about the new stuff they have (SEVERE GEAR)

I think so, they have a new one now.

Yeah, search was my friend this time:
http://forums.maxima.org/showthread....il+severe+gear

Looks like SEVERE GEAR should work, just Amsoil doesn't recommend it because of its aggressive additive content (http://forums.maxima.org/showpost.ph...0&postcount=12)

I know BlackBIRDVQ recommended Redline's ShockProof line ("ShockProof Medium" I think he said, although I don't think they call it that specifically...)
Not sure what the deal is there, it would probably work and especially help with people who do serious racing... for the rest of us MT-90 is probably perfect.
