| just putting some oil in my LSD 3:45 this mornin... and im goin with just some castrol LSd oil.... alot cheaper than redline... and apparently just as good.... but if u want purely the best then just spend the dollars on the redline oil. its ment to have better cooling properties and so on... |

Some expensive stuff... most of their gear oils $100+ for 3.8L (US Gallon)... or *cough* $1500 for 60L drum!
