Default oil change

I want to change my tranny and differential oil, but where do you guys buy it? SOA only sells it in bulk. Or do you know a relatively cheap place that will do it?

I'm a RP whore... but then again, I got my info from a a guy who did some very expensive testing on all the major oils... Actually, Sean from GPmoto is his name in case anybody knows him. I'll swear by RP forever!

Hey man let me know if you ever need the hookup on their stuff. I buy through my racing team and we get the stuff dirt cheap.

That's awesome... my brother used to drag race (semi-pro) with their sponsorship; I currently have a hookup in sarasota (unrelated) for about 5.75 a quart for the oil -- have to check on the prices for the diff, synchro and coolant additive. You get it cheaper than that?! I'm all over it...

BTW, if we have a SRQ area get together, you've gotta come along!

also, you run XPR or the standard? from my understanding, there's no big difference.
