im not that cool, though i bet if i touched enough, theyd feel different
kinds of slippery, or look a little different if swished around an empty
gallon jug.. maybe smell??

new to your urS?..

if youre that unsure, if its dark&nasty w/chunks of little stuff, id flush
twice -with 11s- after finding the cheapest/convenient source.

auto zone.. i think i saw it there, i know ive seen it at national and
pretty sure, napa..

but come to think of it, i get my motor&hydraulik oil from my best friends
dad that owns an autoparts store, so at $16? (i think) a jug,, $7/8 for my
AMS oil,, i think i get some special consideration  you may be better off
w/some mail order here.

 but shop locally too.. i also pay some dollars more for stuff at my local
hardware store in town cause the malls and rims&tint shops are taking over
and i want to preserve small local business when possible/available.

though i also just bought a case of ate super blue from chris at force5 cause
he matched what someone else quoted, others didnt carry it, orderd other
stuff at the same time, yadayada, so its all relative,, whatever works for
you.
