I wish I could buy MT-90 locally! Cant get that mess anywhere in or around Collingwood where I live in Canada!

Apparently some shops in Toronto sell it, but its 2-2.5 hours south of me... and its simply not worth the drive down to the city in $$ and time just to pick up some gear oil

If i get some, ill hafta wait till im down there anyways and make a detour on the way home to try and purchase it.

Or i can order it online off Amazon.COM for $11 US a quart... but shipping to Canada is fucking $15-20... and ill bet ill be hit with stupid duty too... adding another ~ $10 to the cost...

Not sure its worth it to try to score this redline gear oil for my car with another 20-30 bucks added to the cost!?

What do yall think? Worth it even at around $50 for 2 quarts ???

I have news for you. All these companies get their oil from the same oil tank located in Houston TX. The only difference is the bottle they put it in/the food color they add (red, purple etc)
Once I put conventional transmission oil in my ECHO. Worked great in the summer. When winter came on a cold morning it would barely shift gears until you drove like 5 miles! I had the guy add some more food coloring (orange I think) and NO PROBLEM!
