Is this the same:

It must be Unicorn blood! ($97 USD )

Well the RBF 600 works out to $40-45 CDN for a litre in my neck of the woods. That's an engine oil change, just to put things into perspective.

But choose the seller wisely. On Amazon, one never knows if these good deals are legit or for rebranded/counterfeit/fake/imitation stuff.

In this case, lowest price seller (HRP/Power Oil Center) looks legit, but the
HRP also sells the exact same thing for $69.99. Maybe the $59.99 is for bottles of older stock (shouldn’t matter since it’s sealed).

Click on “other sellers on Amazon”, scroll down and you’ll find what I am referring to.

Yes, I was goign to mention this. ALWAYS see "sold by". If there's Diapers and light switches in their inventory, watch out!
