Surprising source for ATF+4
 

Whilest stocking up on some 10w30 Mobil One at Wally World this
afternoon, I checked to see if they carried the new Valvoline ATF+4 as
well. To my surprise, I discovered that they now stock OEM Mopar ATF+4
quarts for $4.42. (I'm sure Valvoline actually produces this product
for DC and this is just rebadged, still, OEM ATF+4 is nice to find.)
Grab some while you can.

Now, if WM's buyers would kindly source some OEM DC or Zerex G-05 and
some decent 13" wiper blades, I'd be a happy guy.

I also noticed that R-134a has almost doubled in price since the summer.
I'm wondering if the Montreal Protocol and new US regs will drive the
price even higher before production stops altogether. Rumor has it that
CO2 is the replacement, though it may be a few years away from
production due to problems with the high operating pressures requried.
I have a couple of cases stashed away for a rainy day. I was also one
of those guys who had 4 cases of R-12 to sell when the price per can hit
$65.00 in eBay, and as I recall, I bought all 4 cases on sale for $.59
cents per can. Something to think about.

Re: Surprising source for ATF+4
 

I was at AutoZone yesterday and they had a few gallon jugs of Zerex G-05
tucked back in the corner. I don't know if it is now chain wide or just my
local
store.

They also carry Valvoline brand ATF+4

I got a longer refill blade an cut it to fit...

They have it here too for two-bucks less than the dreaded Pep Boys.
They get the business next time I need it; I normally buy 4 jugs at a
time and don't need to buy again for 2 years.

Cool. Doubtful they sell for less than Wally World though. I'll have a
look next time I'm in there.

I think I'll have to do the same. Thought about buying a 26-incher so
that I can cut it in half and have both sides done at the same time, but
the 'catch' won't be present on one of them. Still thinking about this one.

I wish I know for sure when R-134a will cease production. The $3,000+ I
made off the R-12 extinction was nice; wouldn't mind doing it again twofold.
