I have found over the years if there is a female working at the counter of the auto parts store, she will be your best bet for getting what you need. They seem to work harder to show up the keyboard kids. Also I used to judge the quality of the place by the size and number of parts book racks they h...

Ural Snot is also known as Hyper Lube. The debate on it was like any good oil thread. https://www.hyperlube.com/ T...
