I buy mine on Amazon, free shipping with prime, and don't forget to use the MVS link to get MVS credit. My husband has a prime account so I order my oil from them. JuneZionXIX wrote: ↑08 Dec 2018, 16:37 I wish FCPEuro stocked redline motor oil. I'd be willing to try just for warranty returns. The price of this oil makes that policy worth the extra trouble shipping it. So far all I see is Motul 300V but their site says its racing oil and not good for daily driving.

Nope, used to drive my Fiesta ST and now I take my 94 Miata. I sold the Fiesta the day before one event at Harris Hill out by Austin, so I took the Volvo, which I drove on the no-helmet parade laps. Even going slowly, it was understeer and wheelspin at every corner. That's why I'm looking to install a limited-slip differential when I have my transmission out soon, and decent tires after that. My big dumb wagon will never be a track terror, but an LSD and decent tires will at least help it keep up.June wrote: ↑08 Dec 2018, 13:15
Can you drive a car like one of these photos? I have ridden in a factory equipped 426 hemi Plymouth Road Runner in yellow back in the 80's. He wouldn't let me drive it though... the slam you in the seat feeling was a real rush! Too many years seeing Nascar on the tv. I suspect those cars are hard to drive. June

Misha, I am curious how your car does on the 4100 group 4 100% synthetic oil. My car is doing quite well on the group 5 oil 35K miles now. One thing for sure you are definitely doing your car a favor! June

Motul 4100 15w-50 should be semi-synth:
Where did you found that it's 100% synthetic?
Unless you misplaced it with 300v series.
