Where to buy Redline oil???

Does anybody know where you can buy Redline oil in Southern or Central California. I am thinking more of a mainstream place like, Autozone or Kragen or something. Also, what weight should I use in my MINI?

Thanks for any advice. Jasun

Did you try their website?

Red Line Oil

If you click on "Dealers" it lets you search for local places to buy.

Autobacs in SoCal carries Redline. Check out their stores, they're like walmart for car tuning. I'm sure you'll find something you want there, I always do, so be warned!

OOOOooohhhhhh.... That Autobasusa place looks dangerous. What the hell? Is that an old IKEA building its in or something? That place must be HUGE!

I need to plan a field trip. The problem is that I will have to bait the wife with a stop by South Coast plaza.

Thanks for the info, Jasun

So I think I got a good handle on where to buy the oil.
Now what weight should I get for a MINI which is driven fairly agressive in SoCal???

5w30???

I used Redline's website too and just ended up buying from JSC Speed. Add in some Water Wetter and a couple SL-1 Injector Cleaners and the total came out to about $70...just as cheap as finding a place that sold exactly what I want. THe Autozone/Pep Boys out here don't carry the oil either.
