I went to Discount Foreign Auto on 30th at El Cajon... Its a VW parts shop... the guy tried to sell me an oil filter for an air cooled 2000cc... it was a mahle OC 28... good thing I knew better... I won't go back there... if I can help it... they don't sell oil either... strange Went to Vee Parts in National City... first guy to answer the phone gave me wrong directions... second guy go it right... They had the right oil filter OC 108 (please don't tell me I've got this screwed up... I've had mechanics that have put on golf oil filters... just being nervous...)... they had the spark plugs I like... W7CCO (some places only stock W7CC)... and I bought a trannie kit (screen and 2 gaskets: paper and rubber).... they mentioned that Dan the Syncro man came in now and then... that he was a nice guy.... Then I went to World Wide Auto.. and they had Kendall oil... and Redline oil... but they're didn't carry Redline Synthetic ATF (equal to dexron IIe) and I couldn't find that anywhere in san diego... so I ended up buying it at McKenzies in Orange County/Anaheim.... bit of a pain... but I did notice Redline High Temperature ATF at Santa Ana Speed (by first and broadway)... 35 dollars a quart... wow... __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
