Again, thanks for the replies. I did a little searching, and found, to my delight, a dealer here in my area. I'm in Sanford FL, and this dealer is in Orlando, which is about 15 miles away from me. I work in south Orlando, so their dealership is between my work and home. It's a few miles out of the way, but not many. Their web site is:

Many of the online dealers I visited, including Summit and Jeg's don't carry 5W-20. Titan does, and they're competitive in price to the other dealers. Not only that, but they're but a couple of miles from my parent's house. So, when I go to buy oil from them, it will give me an excuse to visit my elderly parents. I'm sure they'll appreciate this serendipitous turn of events.

Haven't used it but on paper, it sure looks great. Look at the VOA on this site and you will see it has a fantastic add pack, coupled with pure ester base stock, which is supposedly the best synthetic base stock.
Tell me about it! Them fight'n words for some people around here.
GoldenRod why do you always want war or a fight? Back off, and be positive, you continue to bring this site down.
I never tried their oil, but Redline MTL make a T-5 shift very smooth.
I'm sorry, I was just cracking another one of my twisted jokes.
This is a little off topic but I just started using Redline Shockproof Heavy Synthetic gear oil in my Harley 6 speed trans replacing the 50wt HD dino gear lube. HUGE difference. Lets say smoother, quieter, easier shifting, etc. etc. Redline products seem to be very good from all the threads I have read on several forums. Just DO NOT break in a new engine on Redline.
Again, thanks for the replies. I just bought 6 quarts of 5w-20 from Titan Motorsports, which is on my way home from work, for $7.75/quart. Not much more than M1, and actually cheaper than 0w-30 Amsoil. I've been one of those who was hesitant to use 5w-20, but between those on this board who find it OK, as well as the fact that Red Line is supposed to be so good, I'm taking the plunge...
Yeah, yeah, I probably don't need Red Line. However, I have a Mustang GT, and drive it hard. Also, few foks here on BITOG are satisfied with "good enough". Most of us are seeking the best. Based on the testimonials on this board, as well as a few I've culled on my own, I'm going to trust Red Line. Overkill? Probably. However, it will buy me some peace of mind. I'll know when I'm winding the snot out of my motor, I have the best lubricant avaialable protecting it...

You might wish to visit the redline website and send them an application inquiry to find out what OCI they recommend for your applcation. It should be at least 1.5 times the manufacturers recommended....then it gets more cost effective. If you are still in warranty you may wish to wait and follow the recommended OCI until the warranty is up. Plus...there is nothing that is overkill about top shelf lubrication in a high performance engine. I call it cheap insurance.
Thank you. My sentiments exactly.
Blake Sobiloff , thanks for that link! I was just about to buy some MT-90, and that site is gonna save me like $5. Nice.
Only great results with Redline in VW's, Subaru's, BMW's, and Acura's. Even when driving the cars as hard as I could.
A gentleman on one of the corvette forums is strongly anti-Redline because he believes the esters will react with moisture to form harmful acids. I haven't seen much here on BITOG re: this. Any comments? BTW, I've been using Redline MTL in my Prelude VTEC for years with great results.
