Amazon!!! That’s where I got mine!

I've tried multiple sellers (even Prime) but they wouldn't ship to AK unfortunately.

try dealer locator

see if nick gotexhaust can help as well

The locator only pulls up a guy ~40 miles away. I gave him a call a few weeks back but he didn't carry our weights.

Checked with Nick earlier today. Unfortunately same story as Amazon; can't ship to AK.

I didn't get the best deal on eBay, since seller for 10 bucks a qt. + shipping was out of stock, but Nick said he would beat or match the $12.50 delivered to my door I paid from another eBay vendor. Will definitely take the Got Exhaust preferred RF vendor route on my next purchase!

here, Summit might be the winner.

looks like fair price on oil at 12 bucks, dunno about the shipping GL

see if your local autozone or O'Reilly Auto Parts can special order it

Napa auto parts doesn't have it? Crazy here they have a larger redline display then anything here.

Jeggs maybe?

Thanks guys, I appreciate all the assistance. The issue is motor oil can only ship ground. Most lower 48 companies will/can only ship to AK by Air.
I'm seriously considering buying in bulk and having it barged up.

Have you tried buying on jet?

 

[Burla]

Email redline company directly, if there is a way they might be able to help. Do you have access to m1 costco deal? is your truck ticking?

 

[61N150W]

I'd assume buying on Jet would produce the same result. But I could always check it out.

Burla, that's actually a good idea about trying to "Special Order" through Napa or Oriellys. They get all their other oil products up here, surely they can add this to the list too. Might just have to wait 6-8 weeks.

I'm averaging 20k miles a year. At 4 oil changes a year, paying for big shipping on top of the initial Redline cost could get pretty heavy.

Mobile 1 Costco deal? I'm not aware. I do have two Costco's very close by.
Yeah, i definitely have the tick. It's been bugging me for too long, ready to get rid of it.

I can give him a try. I didn't see that earlier! I'm guessing he only carries gear oil, but one way to find out.
They are also about a 6 hour drive, but shipping Could be far less.

Can you use 5w30? How cold does it get? It seams better at the tick then the 0 winter ratings. Hope the effort pays off, if you get it report if it helped OR NOT either way in syn thread after 500 miles, or less if it takes it away immediately.

I could use 5w30 and have in the past.
It can pretty regularly hit the single digits over night from late October to March. We'll occasionally have a few weeks of sub zero temps. However, we generally spend those months somewhere in the 20's.

I honestly don't know the complete story to our import/export woes. I'm pretty sure if it can't come by Air, it has to come by barge. The majority of small parcel shipments will go by air. I don't believe USPS or the others operate delivery trucks up the AK highway from Washington. Wouldn't seem to be economical.

Advance auto parts can get it thru Worldpac, I don't know what the pricing is on it though. What's the problem with getting it shipped to Alaska, I know it would probably be expensive but it is part of the US. Does it have to do with air transportation/ ground?

Hate to Hijack the thread a little, perhaps I should ask in the synthetic oil one...
Does anyone know of where I can pick up Redline Oil in Alaska? I've searched all over, even some of the motorsport shops, but haven't had any luck.

Google shows a few Speed Shops in Anchorage,one of them should be able to order you in Redline Oil.

Yes I believe it's considered a hazardous material and would require pretty extreme packaging requirements for shipping by air. Most any of the stuff on store shelves has been brought up by barge.
As you could imagine, shipping by boat is pretty slow and they generally have a minimum requirement. So general consumers don't generally go that route. There are few specific companies that deal with these logistics, but I'm just trying to change my oil haha [emoji28]

Read the last couple pages of Syn thread, some real good info to consider when chosing an oil or oil winter rating in the cold along with some video's of pourabilty in the cold. redline 5w30 real good cold properties, but it even gets better with 0w30 redline pourability down to -60C. That super clear oil in the middle, redline 5w30 and all of the other 5w30 pretty cloudy and slow. The 0 winter rating group 3, not bad either.
