You should be able to have a local Advance Auto Parts (if you have Advance there) order some RP ATF fluid for you. Did you try going down the dealers list for your zip (increasing the distance until you found one)?

That's how I found a dealer that keeps the ATF MAX instock. It was a 30 mile drive to pick it up.

I had used the Duplicolor, and drove with it for two years and had to literally pry the stuff off my old car before selling it. I havent been able to find it in stores near me, but I am ordering it soon online if I have to

I got the G2 from tirerack.com. I think the G2 withstands higher temps as well.

Those RB rotors look really nice with painted calipers

We have G2 paint kit in stock . RX8 customers who own RB brakes can purchase them at an extra 10% discount off already discounted price.
