I've bought it at autozone several times.

[EddieVegaGen1]

Personal choice will hide a multitude of ills, but I believe you will find any 85w-140 lubricant WAY too thick for a Miata transmission. Those are used in the differential. The guys suggesting RedLine, Amsoil, Etc. have a reason.

id rather not have to order it. i live in collin county on the north side of dfw, anyone know of a place in the metroplex that sells amsoil/redline?

I got some MT-90 from Track Dog a couple months ago. I believe they stock a couple options.
