Not that anyone cares, but if you are looking for some and don't want to pay $7.00 a quart for Redline MT-90, you might want to read this.

Finally found it after weeks of searching. Just in time too!

Didn't find it at Napa, not Advance Auto, not Carquest, not International Auto Parts, not TrueChoice raing, no where. Of all places I found it at a local Valvoline quick lube. They had it in a unopened 5 gallon can and it was collecting dust. They ONLY use GL-5 in all cars now. They didn't even know they had it sitting back there.

I talked them into selling me some. So I went to Napa across the street bought a 2 gallon plastic gas can for $4.22 and drove back over there. They filled it to the rim (approx. 2.5 gallons) and charged me $10. YES! ONLY $10.

It was Valvoline GL-4 specific Hypo Gear Oil 80W90.

I almost bought the entire 5 gallon can, but passed on it.
