<x-charset iso-8859-1>I realize all that. It's just that it's not what I'm used to paying :) However, my tranny will be getting the synth. GL-4 now that I know where to get it because the synth. stuff is excellent!

Relatively expensive, maybe, but I was thinking on this today and maybe this'll help put things into a bit of perspective. I work at a semi-discount auto parts store. We sell Master 85-90W GL5 gear oil for $3.89 /quart. Conventional, dino-based gear oil, nothing special. The Amsoil in question is about $10/quart, BUT it's synthetic, which is more expensive than dino. It's also GL-4, which is (apparently*) becoming harder to find -- which also can translate to "more expensive" just due to the running around and hassle involved in finding it if your local FLAPS doesn't carry it. ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/ </x-charset>
