NAPA Today only

Just an FYI.
I went to NAPA and in my area they are running 25% off any thing you can fit in a bag. They guy who rang me out just gave me 25% off every thing. You can get a gallon of Zerex 05 for $6 and some change. Could save you a few bucks if you are in need of anything.

Yes, they have been covering the radio with it. Be prepared for a long wait to get what you want.

For 25% off a $3k-$5k engine, I'll make it fit!

I have no idea, it is just what people here suggested so I pick up a couple of gallons to change out the green poison that is currently in it.

G-05 is the same as M-B dealer antifreeze, also used in newer Chrysler & Ford vehicles-$6/gallon is HALF it's usual price, I'm going to go buy myself some ATF & filters!

We bought 24 quarts of Valvoline Dexron VI synthetic tranny fluid (enough for all three cars) at $3.69 a qt!!!! Did a whole synthetic tranny fluid and filter change on our '83SD yesterday for $51! including the gasket/filter!

Also, that is some good stuff, that Valvoline Dexron VI, the car shifts and idles and runs smoother than ever before!! Highly recommend it! Its even better than the far more expensive Mobil 1 (which you can't get anymore anyways)
