[MBZ] $2 sucker again

[WILTON]

My $2 sucker sure worked nicely to flush power steering system on my 350SDL 
after replacing PS pump.

I like Wal-Mart, only problem is it's way across town so I don't go
there often.

I would like not going to Wally's, too, but I've gone there reluctantly the
last several years to get Mobil 1; 'glad to have it available nearby when I
need it.

I was at Advance Auto the other day getting a replacement caliper for my
240D, and happened to poke around for oil. They didn't have any 5w40 in the
oil section but did have it in the Diesel oil section along with 15w40
etc...

I don't shop at Wally's for anything. The extra pennies per quart are worth
it for me for never going to Wallys...

I was at Wal-Mart last night, actually, looking for M1 for a couple of
my other cars, and their stock and variety are both GREATLY reduced.

All they had in the 5 quart bottles was 5w30. Hope it's a temporary
shortage.

Make sure you got the fleece filter for it!  IIRC, if you need a 229.95 
oil, you're supposed to use a fleece filter.  If you call up Rusty you 
have to give him the PN, since his system doesn't pull it up.
