For the tranny you can't beat Pennzoil Syncromesh. For the tcase and diff I use Mobil1 synth 75W-90, but have also used Redline shock-proof and Coastal in the past without any problems. Whatever you use, just make sure that it says it is compatible with viscous type limited slip differentials.

QUOTE (turbohcar @ May 8 2006, 10:06 AM) Advance baby! I have to say, at least from my experiences in the area, that Advance is the way to go. A lot friendlier service, better prices, and more stuff in stock. The only thing I haven't been able to get at advance is the Penzoil syncromesh... -------------------- The fastest car I own is a minivan....

Thanks for the business plug Rob! Actually, my Advance in Bloomington is currently carrying Penzoil Synchromesh.

Up here we don't have all that many Advances. I know of 2 and I know where a lot of auto stores are up here already.
We have by far more autozones, napas, and carquests, with a good number of places called Murray's which I don't think are that big in central IL yet. I probably wouldn't ever go to Autozone, except for the fact that they have the a frequent shopper card which can pretty much get you up to 20 back for every 100 you spend. I've done this more times than I can recall over the past 9 months or so as I find that I spend a disproportionate amount of money at the autoparts stores. I know that I have over 10 - $20 cards saved up so far. I think I'm saving up for a shopping spree. -------------------- my cars breath smells like car food
