After listening to Randy Webb this weekend at a pulley party along with several other true believers, I think I'm going to switch from Mobil 1 to Redline 5w30. After referring to the maker's list of retailers, I can only find one retailer in Virginia who sells it at $9 a quart. Shipping cost for on-line searches make it prohibitively expensive. Anyone know of a supplier who isn't charging an arm and a leg???

Thats about right.
I am in Calfornia and found 2 places. One charges $8.44 and the other 9 even.
I think its just an expensive oil.

Race central here in Portland, Oregon charges $7.99 a quart or $79.99 for a case of motor oil. Gear oil is $8.49qt. Their # is:503-283-8426. They ship UPS and a case weighs ~24lbs.

Go to Redline and look under their "Dealers" for a location near you:

Hi Redleg13, its was nice to meet you at the Richmond PP. I get my Redline from Performance Products in Pittsburgh PA 412-487-5004. The should cut you a price break on a case & will ship UPS. I swear by Redline and thats the only oil I'd consider leaving in for 10K miles.

Apexer, was great meeting you as well. Gotta say, you and Randy worked well together.. and he says he's looking for someone to help.. possibilities?? Anyway, I'll get the Redline, you and Randy convinced me. BTW, you need to update your signature.. didn't you get the pulley?
