I guess by "store" I mean a store that I can stop at in Kamloops specifically...
and is there any real difference between brands? I've been using Pentosin.

I have been running the prestone al makes, all models extended life stuff
in my TT for 2 years now. No issues to report. Canadian Tire sells it and it's much cheaper than G-12.

Not sure if Axel's Auto service is still around...
But if he is, he should have some in stock. How is the snow level in Kamloops right now? I need a riding roadtrip soon.

Snow in Kamloops is limited... Base at Sun Peaks is OK, but the soft stuff has been rare this season

From my experience, G12 and the green stuff = Bad...
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've found if you mix G12 with the regular green stuff, expect everything to start leaking in a couple of years. I think I've got an extra bottle of G12 from my last timing belt change (I'll have to double check). I imagine here in Kamloops, VW would carry it, I ordered mine from ECStuning.com, used to live beside them a few years back so I still like dealing with them.
