Default Redline Diff and MT Oil

So I'm at about 18k miles and want to change the diff and tranny oil. I've been cruising the website trying to figure out which oil I wanted to use. Redline seems to be the most popular upgrade so I figured I'd get me some of that! Start looking at the websites and see the cost is somewhere between 10.49 and 11.99 and start running through the checkout. Then I see the $40 for shipping and I'm thinking WTF it's only 7qts of oil, probably 10lbs or so. Go on to the next website, same thing. So I figure I'll check the O'Reilly's website and they're selling a case for 129 or something like that. Not sure how many are in a case but I don't need that much. So Saturday morning I drop by my local O'Reilly's, San Jose on Branham lane. There's 2 pretty cool guys at the counter and I tell them what I'm looking for and how I don't want to pay the 40$ shipping that's on the websites. He asks how much the websites are charging and I tell him 10.99. One guy, I think the manager, says they used to sell it but he's not sure he can get it. (Probably in the Kragen's days) He calls and says he can get it and would give it to me for the 10.99. So I go ahead and order it. Dropped by again at 4:00pm to pick it up, half way expecting them to say they had some issue with shipping but there it was. Awesome! Been going to that store off and on since the early 80s. They've got me as a fan again.
