I've got a small performance shop in my hometown that carries it on the shelf, they also sell me Amsoil motor oil by the case (cheaper that way).

Check around Edmonton, Amsoil dealers inhabit every square inch of the earth, there must be millions of them out there, lol. If I can find it in my small town you should have a few dealers around your parts.

Got redline in there. My honda tech neighbor put me onto it. It's what they use at his dealer. I've had no issues.
The only UOA I've seen of RL 75W-90 in a S2000 was totally unacceptable IMO. Until I see an acceptable UOA, I won't recommend their product. Maybe you could provide one for us?

What specifically in the UOA was not acceptable?

I have looked for it everywhere, the parts stores around here only seem to sell the Amsoil severe gear in the 75w-90 and 75w-140 weights, nobody seems to have that elusive 110! They said they could order me some but I would have to buy a whole case not sure if I want to buy a lifetime supply of diff fluid up front!

I guess I will look into finding a local Amsoil dealer.

I run the redline 75w90

As far as I can tell it is just as good as the LE607 I used to use that cannot be had anymore.

Really the reason I got it is because I ordered some MT90 for the tranny and it was just easier to get the rear end grease from redline too.

Here is a comparison that I did a few years ago:

Here is a recent UOA I did on LE 1605:

As I said earlier, I'd love to see another data point for RL 75W-90 if someone can post it. Thanks.
