Best place to buy Redline C+ Trans Fluid

[Lyle Longboat]

Hello guys/gals,
Just wondering where my Canuck ram owners who use the RL C+ trans fluid buys theirs from that doesn’t cost an arm?
The cheapest I have found for a quart is $17.99. Is this the cheapest in Canada?

I used to get mine thru Lordco, It was 12$ with my Mil discount there.

But ever since I moved to Berta, I had to switch to Amsoil to keep my cost down... lol...

I was thinking this as well, switching to Amsoil

I got mine from JB's Power Center in AB for $15.99 a quart back in April. Not sure if it's gone up since, but that was cheapest I could find at the time and free shipping to NL

 

[Lyle Longboat]

Yeah it’s $17.99 now, looking on there as well.

 

[smoothee]

Well ****, didn't think that stuff could get much more expensive

Ebay 13 a qrt and Summit are gonna be around the 12-13 dollar mark shipped to your door, and if you ask Nick it would likely be the same. Plus he sells both products so you can compare SS to c+, nicks new site.

well nevermind all that, sorry I forgot you in canada. part source? Check redline dealer locator function on redline's website.

Try Mopac's site Lyle,they have a few stores in Western Canada,and the Calgary store is usually a bit cheaper then JB's Calgary is when it comes to Redline.Things might have changed as it was last summer the last time i stocked up on Redline,but they're definitely worth checking out.

Bought 12 quarts today from JBPower. $243 total after taxes and shipping. Cheapest I found was in New Brunswick, $200 taxes/shipped for 12 quarts, however they can’t ship redline oil into Ontario so it was cancelled 5 mins after ordering.

gotta love our insane trade laws between provinces! its a free country they say but just try filling up your truck box full of cheap quebec beer and liquor and bringing it back to Ontario or new Brunswick and see what they have to say

Hmmm, $70 cheaper if I went with Amsoil for 12 quarts, taxes and shipping included. Well…… Amsoil may be my go to oil now that I have a connection and a really good reason to switch from Redline, price. Thanks @Mister Luck

Just fyi, OE is Amsoils budget line, their flagship oil is SS. Amsoil SS is 7-8 dollars more per quart then OE, as the quality is similar with redline.

Quarts sizes were not available for my area and the one 2.5 Gallon = 10 liters / (10.56 quart) container makes it easier to fill the transfer pump.

I see the SIGNATURE SERIES as the container not the fluid itself
the difference is the application because you can purchase the same fluid for less the ss containers cost.

( EDIT )

Upon further investigation of the SDS data comparison between signature series and OE synthetic AFT fluids
it seems Fuel Efficient OE synthetic is made from (Hydrogenated base oil) and Fuel Efficient Signature Series is Developed from (Dec-1-ene, homopolymer, hydrogenated Dec-1-ene, oligomers, hydrogenated)

 

[Burla]

That's a new way to look at it I guess, amsoil has three levels ss, xl, and oe. If you wanted to go into it you can research pretty easily. I don't see xl as an option for transmission fluid, but there is some differences between ss and oe that would be worth looking into for an rfe which seams to be as sensitive as the hemi is.

From Amsoil...

Why is AMSOIL Expensive? – AMSOIL makes 3 levels of products: Signature Series, XL and OE. Each product line has a different price point due to the quality of the additives and the customer market it is designed for. AMSOIL’s XL and OE product lines cost the same as common brands found on the shelves of mass marketed parts stores.

Signature Series, while it is higher priced, gives you the extra protective qualities and extended drain intervals that other brands won’t consider. This product line uses the highest quality additives on the market, which costs more to make. You actually save money over the long run, by not having to change your oil as much as lower quality brands.

 

[Lyle Longboat]

Hmmmm, I didn’t see this different levels of Amsoil fluid. I see why it’s $70 more for Redline C+. Well Redline C+ is already bought but looking for the future purchases.
