[s-cars] Cheap/effective FMIC option w/ Sex and free beer!

[Eric Phillips]

OK, OK - a shameless way to make you look at the text.  I admit it. 
With all the D.I.C.K.
and cooling under neo-tropical acronym gymnastics, the sex part was accurate...

I was also hoping to hear of a supplier for the Rotella 5w40 synth for
turbodiesels.  Around these parts (West BFE), we get Valvoline,
Castrol, and Pennzoil.  I'm willing to pay shipping for a five-gallon
pail - I have three Audis that do need regular changes, and get them
semi-regularly.  ;)

If I asked for the stuff at a local jobber, do you think they'd do it?
 Even if they weren't a Shell outfit?  We also have a local airport
with a large civil aviation contingent - maybe they do Aeroshell, and
thus have access to Rotella?

Thanks, guys.  Oh, BTW - more brake questions are coming, but this
time, just parts and pieces...
