So my car is at 30k milles, 5-speed. I was looking at some of the top synthetic brands, and theyre all impossible to find in stores, so i guess ebay or other online store will do it.

What do you guys recommend? 75W-90:

*Motul Gear 300; *Royal Purple Max-Gear; or *Redline MT-90

I know price goes from left to right, but its more of a daily car, is it worth getting the most expensive motul or what?

I'm happy with the Redline... but everyone will have their preferences. If it's just a daily driver, you're probably not going to get any incredible benefit from the most expensive one... for the extra money anyway.

What are the prices of those you listed?

I intend to use Syntec when I change over, as I've been very pleased with their engine oil since it hit the market.

Here's a link to the specs on Castrol's site;

Looks like it goes for about $10.99 a quart, and many auto parts places carry it;

Geez, you can even get it on Amazon now;

I've been happy with the Redline. Smoother shifts imho compared to a tranny filled with the OEM fluid.
