does anyone know where to get either product? royal purple max gear 75w90 and amsoil ATF... i know mopac has royal purple but they are so far away since the kingsway store closed down

Faymester

royal purple: lordco [specifically kingsway] i was there last night and my friend did buy some ... so it's definately there ...
amsoil: dunno ... ask lordco?

thanks faymester!

that's weird. neither lordco's website, or royal purple's site mention each other

the crappy tire in north van has amsoil motor oil, but not ATF fluid... damn.

UberNoob

i bought royal purple 5w20 from lordco a few weeks ago for $7.88 per quart IIRC

its amazing that the crappy tire in north van on main st. has amsoil
ive gotta go there sometime then

before this, i thought only http://www.amsoil.com/storefront/def...spx?zo=1254170 has amsoil for canadians
if CT starts carrying it, thats awesome

for ATF, i would just stick with toyota type-IV as it is almost a must
but then amsoil's ATF fluid is universal right?
just so expensive though

on the gs message board they say the amsoil atf synthetic makes the trans shift smoother than the normal toyota t-iv. i was going to do a power flush and refill, but the price quotes i got for that was staggering.. so i'm going to do the amsoil instead

UberNoob

interesting, ill keep that in mind when its time to change my ATF
but that wont be for a long time

so do you plan to do just drain and fill w/ amsoil?
how many quarts does the AT take in?

i want to do a full flush this time. it's going to be almost 9qts. worth, and amsoil is not cheap... almost $11-12/qt. and the use of the machine is something like $150 in labor.

Mopac carries Royal Purple. I used to buy it all the time for my Prelude when they were on Kingsway.

i ended up going to lordco for royal purple. 20 minute round trip as opposed to the 2 hours it would have taken me to get to mopac for just 2qts. of gear oil... why did they have to kill the kingsway outlet dammit

kratos

Because rednecks don't live anywhere near there. Just Vietnamese folks.

UberNoob

hey Ben, heres a heads up for u
some ppl are saying that machine flush may not be that great of an idea

but then there are some mixed views on that

i think you can just do tranny oil change...drive around for like 10 mins then do another tranny oil change...does the same thing and much safer
