Yep that's exactly what I've been saying all along. You're so astute.

If you are really in a hurry to get it, Ford Parts Online has it for $12.97 unless I got the part number wrong. XTM5QS right?

My local ford dealership parts guy hooked me up with a score: $15/qrt. He looked at the price and was like "wtf, thats rediculous. How about $15/quart". me: SHWING!

Not sure if anyone addressed this in a post already since I skipped to the end, but Redline MTL should not be used in Contour transaxles for the following reasons:
1.) Both manual & automatic transmission require Mercon ATF
2.) MTL is for standard manual transmissions and is not compatible with or to be used on transmission that require ATF
I have used Redline products for over 10 years and have never had a problem. As a matter of fact, MTL worked wonders in my 89 RX7 Turbo, made shifting smoother, easier and reduced gear noise.
Please note some additional factors about using synthetic oils (including trans fluids), not all products are true synthetics as I recently learned and can lead to serious problems if you try to extend fluid change intervals.
Synthetic products from Mobil (Mobil 1), Castrol (Syntec) and other major oil companies are typically made from Group III base stock (petroleum oil) rather than more expensive Group IV or V base stock (PAO or diesters).

Don't be a tool, he just said he'd skipped to the end.
