Default Not all checker's have the same stocked items....

I've seen it carried at the Checker on Quincy and Buckley. However, the only one they carried was like a 15w - not good for our turbo's. They might have added more weights to their stock since last time I saw. The thing was, they didn't stock the oil with all the rest of their motor oil stock. They kept it stocked on an unsuspecting random shelf in their 'ricer-upgrade section' as I like to call it. At least that's what all the stock in that area looked like it catered to. Start calling around, it's your best bet.

Default A warning about RP

I notice some of wanting to use this stuff. I hope that you are only planing to use gear oil, the motor oil is bad stuff. I used the regular motor oil once in my Dakota, bad stuff, won't do it again. It is too thin and flows too freely. At idle it would drop my oil pressure so low that the oil pressure shutdown switch would almost activate. The shutdown would come at like 4 psi, the dealer hooked their equipment up to the truck and were getting 6 psi at idle, and under full load, at highway speeds, my oil pressure was running 35 to 40 psi, with normal 10W30 Syntec, my OP runs 40 to 45 constant, sometimes it drops a hair or two. Under hard braking it would drop the pressure too low. I am not the only to exp. this, I have talked to other who have had the same situation.
