My local wal-mart, believe it or not, carries more oils and fluids than the auto parts store. It's sad. It's all cheaper too. Might want to try wal-mart.

Redline is great.

Yeah, my brother worked at an auto parts store. They had some great discounts. Savings alone are worth working at a parts store.

I picked up Royal Purple from the local Napa when I did mine. I changed the fluids in the motor, tranny, t-case and front diff to RP. The rear still has dino oil in it since the Aussie hates synthetic.
