Redline gear oil in Santa Rosa/Petaluma
Anyone know where I can find some Redline lightweight shockproof? I'm trying to avoid paying $7 to have one quart shipped to me.

Might want to talk to Benny at Lubrify.com. He travels all around to auto-x. You might be able to pick it up from him in a few weeks at Candlestick.

Don't use Redline transmission fluid, it's not formulated right for our trannys. If you must use something aftermarket other than Subaru Gold Extra S, go with Motul 300.

I'm using Uncle Scotty's Cocktail of 1qt Redline lightweight shockproof, 1qt Pennzoil or GM Synchromesh, 2qt Castrol HypoyC 80w-90. Everyone says that works great so I want to try it.

I already bought 1 qt. of synchromesh and 2 qt of the hypoyC. So could I put those in then top it off with swepco? This is my first time dealing with tranny fluid so bear with me.

Forget about this cocktail, If you want high performance tranny protection go see LIC in Novato and get Swepco fluid....sometimes you have to get the best fluids available, AWD transmissions are one of those times.

I've never understood the mob mentallity with Scotty's Cocktail; it's **** and Redline lightweight (aka Smurf Blood) clogs the oil passage ways in the 5 speed transmission.
