Unbelievable, but aparently true.
It was already a screamin' deal at $5 a quart a month ago, cpmpared to $20 a liter
at the dealer, and 12-14 for Fuchs from RM Euro,
now it's less than $2 + tax and shipping.
It's out of stock, but wtf I ordered a case anyway,
the minimum they'll sell now, and shipping is only 8 bucks a case.
$30 total!

Ha, I won't need it for another 60K miles.
Will she still be alive at 240K + miles?
As of now, still running like a top.

Do you know why they are selling it so cheaply ?
If something is too good to be true .........
It may be worth the freight to Australia !
Anyone flying into Sydney with spare luggage space ?

What a deal! It is probably a slow mover by US standards.

I think they cancelled my order.
I logged in to check it, it had my order, and like it said
"add to cart".
No shipping info.
When I click on the ATF description is says there's like 200+ bottles in
stock at $5.38 .
AND I don't see it on my credit card anymore.
Have to wait till monday to see if they'll ship it.
My fluid as it turns out if VERY low.

The "add to cart" thing it says is for a re-order. Mine shows an order number and that I ordered 12 of them, but no shipping info yet. I'm pretty sure they'll ship it tomorrow.

$2 price must've been a mistake. Looks like they've corrected that error.

UPDATE!

I sent Ryder a message asking when my order would be shipped. They responded in 30 minutes with a tracking number for UPS Ground, and I checked.. it shipped from Atlanta over the weekend and is on the truck for delivery today.

So they ARE honoring the pricing for whoever was quick enough to buy.

Yes, unbeliebably, my order is on the truck and scheduled for arrival tomorrow.
What is up with the <$2 price?
All I can think is that perhaps they need to order like a whole bunch of it at once, and
perhaps they needed to fill the slack for the one day?
But wtf., I'm not looking a gift horse in the mouth.
Shoulda bought 10 cases and sold 'em on ebay!

All I know is I'm 1 quart low in my tranny and
that would cost $22 with tax at the dealer for ONE
quart and I'm getting a whole case for $30!
I never actually thought they would ship it.
Figured they'd say oh it was a typo or some shiit.

No shipping info as of yet, but since they have charged my card already, I'm assuming things are progressing.

THE C350
I put the oil in my cart and logged into my account but decided to not buy it because I would have to store it for two plus years. And i figured it was the new price. Now I am kicking myself ****

They finally got off their butt & replied....


The freight for one case "to Australia"(12) is $150.00 and two cases (24) of Trans Fluid will be $300.00.
Ha Ha Ha ...

Woot Woot!

Hard to believe, but there it is...
12 quarts (not liters interestingly) of
Shell ATF 134, from seemingly the only supplier of the stuff in the US,
for less than the price of 2 liters at the dealer!

I actually ended up needing 1.5 quarts, so I actually SAVED money, and got an extra 10.5 quarts to boot!

Damn. Now it's at 5+. Still good money.

I may end up ordering some during the week.

Complies with all standards correct? Just double checking.
