Well it is Friday night here , it is pourig rain , and I am killing time on my PC . So thought i would share some stuff that has been going on, nothing special .

First Pic is of my "Ed Oil haul" after cleaning out both Stores in Chardon and the neighbouring town in Ohio ..... what did Mrs ice have to say .. took me 10 minutes to get ready for the wedding , took her an hour and a half .. lots of time for my oil run in a 3 piece suit .. did better than the last wedding we went to when i decided to change the oil on the car while I was waiting for her .. for real .. ended up getting oil on my shirt which transferred to my suit .. still living that one down ..

Second pic .. who says our cars aren't about the oil . my first and second choice oils .. what oils to use the rookies ask ???? any more questions ??

and what garage is complete without an awesome display of oil filters...

How much a case?

Must been a sale ehh?

Yeah Ed posted it early in May .. i think it was about 24.00 a case .. the last receipt I have for 12 here in Canada was 75.00 a case ...

I have a hard time even finding any decent supply of oil here! Its like a scavenger hunt. geez, you would think in Alberta you could find it at the corner store.

Rod,

Jeeez! Why didn't I think about walking out of there with the plastic shopping crate?

I cleared 60+ quarts. I actually lost count at 60. OCD much? Not much...

Where are the crush gaskets for the drain plugs? Don't cheap out, now!

You need a shelf of Brake Clean and a few rolls of "blue" paper towels.

Thats cheap, I paid at least $75 for my last case because my indy likes me

Does Penn make a straight weight (30) oil? I used a straight weight synthetic (30w) in a turbo track 911. I've never seen such an oil anywhere else. It was a Synergy product and the turbo really liked it. Some guys swear by straight weight in fair climates.

theiceman

your right Scott , how could i miss " the tin"

Rod try TSC if you have them in Alberta . here in Ontario I used to get my vr1 racing there all the time.

Radcap

Thanks for the tip, I will see if we have them here, its a 911 working weekend, I am tackling the Voltage Regulator replacement and Ed's battery plan (with an Optima) as well as sorting out an oil leak....FUN!!

Boss and daughter away at the lake and son at goalie camp...just me and the dogs and they dont understand the swearing anyway...hahah.

Rod,

VR is fun ..... hope you can work in tight places .... it helps to do the alternator wiring on the 911 if you are a gynacologist ..

Iceman,

Nice find and I like your garage storage rack set up.

All the local AZ stores in my area were all sold out of the VR-1.

One store manager told me that a couple of local muscle car racers were hitting the stores on a daily basis emptying the shelves
