Forgot to mention this too. For really cold climates, the redline also
offers better pour point numbers compared to the amsoil. Doesn't affect
a lot of people, but for those who it does, this might help decide
between the two.

http://www.amsoil.com/products/agr.html

Amsoil AGT 80w90 GL4 = -37C

http://www.redlineoil.com/mtpds.pdf

Redline MTL = -50C

Redline MT-90 = -45C

Where I am, the cost difference is about $5 a litre. Amsoil is $11.70,
and the redline is $16.50.
