That's true!
I couldn't remember which it was, so for Ha-ha's rebuild I bought the cheapest Valvoline 20W/50. $9.99 a bottle. :lol:
Barney is getting a dose of it tomorrow too, to the replace the GTX2. 8)

yeah Repco stores are everywhere and are pretty big (even though some staff are as clueless as the Supercheap apes - please not I said some, only some). Plus they've got that whole "rare part acquisition thing" and have you ever seen more than 2 people at any given time inside a repco store?
