1 gal. Redline D4 ATF for $24.92/ea!?!?!?

Is this too good to be true? I priced out this stuff the other day and found anywhere from $110-125 for 12 qts. Anyone order from this place?

Stylin Trucks

It's $17.03 cheaper for the 1 gallon than the actual Redline site. About to do a 3x3 ATF change along with a 3rd &4th gear pressure switch and from the research I've been doing over the last three weeks, am pretty set on the Redline D4.

Just bought 3 gallons for $90.25 shipped to CA. Not a bad deal seeing as how I was quoted $75 for 12 qts of Honda ATF-Z1.

I must be dumb or something. It wont let me change my quantity from 1 to 3. Did you just buy the gallons individually?

Did the same thing to me. I called in and the guy was really nice to deal with. I asked him why his prices were so much lower than everyone else and his only answer was "it's just our regular price...". Seemed too good to be true but we'll see. Everything has checked out so far.

I'll be following this one for sure. If it shows up at your door I may be ordering a ton of their racing fluid.

I found the site by google searching for Redline D4. This place came up and thought it was a fluke. They took my $90 so hopefully the stuff'll show up in a week or so. Didn't search for racing fluid sorry. I suggest giving them a call though as they were really nice and helpful.

I just checked the StylinTruck web site and it looks like the D4 is back-ordered until 6/25- no biggee for me. That is a little strange that there's no quantity selection- they're making money on the shipping/handling as many web sites do. Please update us on your purchase experience once you receive it- thanks!

I talked to the guy today, he told me since it's a clearance item, you cannot change the quantity. You'd have to buy them individually?

Just call in and tell them you wanted 3 gallons shipped to XXXXX. Can't imagine you'd have to pay more in shipping than I did to CA since it's shipping from OH. My total was as follows:

Item Number Description Qty Ord. Unit Price Disc Extended Price
30505RLN Red Line D4 Auto.Trans. Fluid 1 Gallon - Each 2.00 $ 24.9200 0 $ 49.84
30505RLN Red Line D4 Auto.Trans. Fluid 1 Gallon - Each 1.00 $ 24.9200 0 $ 24.92
ST Sport Truck Catalog Each 1.00 $ 0.0000 0 $ 0.00
IN 100 Insurance For Orders Between $0 & $100 1.00 $ 1.5000 0 $ 1.50


Sales Tax: $ 0.00
Shipping & Handling: $ 13.99
Order Total: $ 90.25


As of this afternoon, I don't have any new tracking info so hopefully it gets out today.

Question. If I'm planning to do a 3x3, I'd only need 2 gallons and 1 quart right? Is there any reason to get more than 9 quarts other than the very slight price difference? (1 gallon = $6.23/qt, while 1 individual quart = $6.92)

If you're changing transmission fluids, then yes get 3 gallons or 12 quarts. (I.E Switching from old ATF Z1 to Redline)

Why 12 quarts though? I thought a transmission flush calls for a 3x3 which would be 9 quarts..?
