Redline gear oil in Canada

I'm coming up to my first transmission/differential gear oil change, and with the positive reviews of Redline on this forum, I'd like to give it a try. I went to CT and all they have is their "Motomaster" products. Over at Partsource, they have Castrol and Lucas synthetics. Neither one has Redline. Are there any stores you know of that carry this stuff, and could ship to Ottawa or, even better, are located in Ottawa?

Anyone have experience with any of the other products I've mentioned?

Sorry, I don't have personal experience with the product but have also heard that it is pretty good.

Have you tried just searching on their website? You can order directly from them as I see that when you search most postal codes it says that CT and Partsource only carry a few of the products but not the full line.

This place has that tranny fluid on special right now. In Cleveland, but probably not that much to ship.

There are 2 distributors of Redline that I know. There is a store in Pacific Mall at Kennedy and Steeles that sells it. BUt you are taking a big chance on car damage by going there.

Also at Davis Dr. and Yonge St. in Newmarket Overdrive performance carried Redline.

Don't use Redline transmission fluid, it shifts worse than OEM in the winter. This is widely documented in the technical forum, search the message archive. Royal Purple shifts better in the cold. Redline is fine for differential though.

I have Royal Purple in the garage.. Will be putting it in the transmission and LSD soon. I did a lot of reading and I can't say I heard anything bad about Redline or Royal Purple but the Royal Purple fans seemed to be more impressed with the effect.
