    eh... i hate mixing grades... but do what you have to. try and find a hardware store near you. most of the time they have it all. it may run a little more for the stuff from them, but its worth doing right the first time.

    I understand.

    HD and ACE are within a mile or 2. There is a tiny automotive store around 2.5 miles away and an Advanced Auto, Pep Boys and Kragen all around 4.

    I'll get it done right.

    ^ THIS. I once went to a Pep Boys looking for a shock mount bolt and the employees looked at me like I was crazy. "We don't carry anything like that. That's a dealer part."

    Meanwhile they had about a dozen off-brand quads and dirt bikes for sale on the floor. So much for being an auto parts store...

    its so true. i applied for a auto zone job once as a second job to take up some time... and oh my goodness... dudes behind the counter were complete morons. didnt know shit. someone comes in with a problem and they just looked at them like.... uhhhhhhhh.... if you cant diagnose a problem just by what they are telling you is happening, look into another job as a subway boy or something. hahaha. and they wanted to start me on the same wage as the morons. i laughed at them and walked out.
