It is highly unlikely you will find Redline at the usual auto parts store (AutoZone, Checker, PepBoys, etc). I believe Summit Racing carries Redline Oils. Corksport rear mount insert, Mazdaspeed short shifter, carbon fiber shift boot, Redline mt-90, K&N air filter, Denso iridium plugs. I pick mine up from a performance shop that caters to the speed crowd. What you could do is run something like Redline MTL which is slightly thinner however I wouldnt recommend running a thinner weight if you are still under warranty since Mazda calls for a 75w-90 specifically. I've never found it in the local AutoZone, Pep Boys, etc. Redline is a very respected name and I don't think you can go wrong using it. I found that the last little bit of cold weather shifting problem that MT-90 almost cleared up was gone when MTL was used. If the transmission or transaxle requires an SAE 90 GL-5 gear oil, then Red Line 75W90NS or 75W140NS Gear Oil may be used. If a 90W GL-4 or SAE 40, 10W40, or 15W40 is required, MT-90 may be used. MTL is almost the same except that it is slightly lighter weight. Red Line MTL may be used in transmissions which recommend 75W, 80W, or 85W GL-4 gear oils, or SAE 30 or 5W/10W30 motor oils. After running MT-90 for several years, I decided to try their MTL fluid. When I switched to MT-90 (shortly after getting the TJ), the cold weather 1st to 2nd gear shift problem that the AX-15 is well noted for became virtually a non-issue. The GL-3/4 rating of this fluid means it does not have the harmful additives that cause synchronizer wear as experienced when running GL-5 rated fluids. I use Redline MT-90 or Redline MTL fluid in my AX-15.
