Any happen to know a good place to pick up some MT-90 or MTL in the Ottawa area? Canadian Tire used to carry it, but no longer and that's all the Redline website lists for retailers.
If I can't find the MT-90 or MTL, would any GL-4 75w90 suffice?(Yes, I know that's a huge debate, but I just want to know if I can use it for the short term.)
Thanks!

I want to know this also
also want to know if there is redline oil for the transmission syncronyzers(syncromesh), and for the differential(LSD oil) avaliable here, not just a generic "Universal" kinda deal.

My strongest recommendation is to find a GL-4.
I know that in the backwoods (like Ottawa!) they are rare as hens teeth, but GL-5 lube has been the cause of a lot of gearbox trouble.
Redline MTL and MT-90 are very good, but if you can find a generic, it should be fine also - that's why we have these standards.

Backwoods? That makes me sad. :P
Alright, so as long as it's 75w90 weight and gl-4, it should be "alright" for both the tranny and the rear diff? Just want to get it clear before I pour things into my expensive, beyond my budget to replace car parts.

I picked up my MT90 at No Limits.

PartsSource no longer carries it in stock. KVR has Redline but no MT90 in stock, plus Id rather give my business to Mike at No Limits anyways.
