Ugh. And it remembers your last car choice and filters the search to stuff it thinks goes with that car. Pretty ridiculous when it recommends Pentosin Dot4 for your ML350 but not ATE Dot4. Last September I started having trouble finding simple stuff, like H8 BATTERY, so I gave up and started using Goolag, like this: https://www.google.com/search?q=site:advanceautoparts.com+ate+dot+4 That Goolag search shows a 5L can of ATE SL (not SL.6) and when I go to the item page it says 'Doesn't Fit your 2003 Mercedes-Benz ML350' (maybe because ATE recommends SL.6 for Mercedes with ESP and 4Matic?).

I ordered ATE fluid from FCP. I don't know if it was SL.6. That is new to me.

I got an email from Speedperks, something like 'make two $30 purchases by the end of the month and we'll give you a Speedperks coupon for $20 off on $50'. So I buy a couple of oil change kits I don't need, waiting for the coupon to come so I can order 5 liters of ATE SL.6 low viscosity ABS fluid. The bonus coupon came several weeks after the promotion ended, instead of the usual Speedperks coupons that come a day or two. I go to order the SL.6 and they don't carry it any more, but they've got regular DOT 4 Pentosin for a few more dollars per can. Then I find out the coupon only works if I buy stuff for instore pickup, and no nearby store has more than 2 liters of Pentosin in it. So I never got the fluid for my fall brake flushes, they're spring brake flushes now. Is there a good place to buy ATE SL.6 brake fluid other than Amazon? I do like the idea of low viscosity DOT4 brake fluid if it improves ABS response times.

I know the manager well at this particular FLAPS, as I sent corporate a glowing review of his work when they (corporate) hosed up an online battery order I needed in a big, big hurry. He saw my confirmation and payment even though their system didn’t show it (I had placed the order online the night before) and he let me have the battery. Because their help desk wasn’t available before the store opened (???) he couldn’t get things fixed on the back end. He got major kudos for the letter I sent, so he’s always been very helpful and appreciative (he earned it, for sure.) Anyway, he was telling me that a buddy of his manages a store up around Gainesville somewhere that caters big time to the Budweiser swigging, knuckle draggin, jacked up mudder pickup truck folks. He said they got a huge load of this Pentosin stuff back in October, which they put out on display. The locals just laughed when they tried to push it, saying that they didn’t want no furrin’ stuff in their Amuricun pickem up trucks. Some foreign car shop in Gainesville came in one day, saw the stuff, and asked if they would sell the lot to them for a good price.
