I 've found it at any San Jose Kragen locations with no problems. In fact it's on sale right now:

Maybe, that's why you can't find it in stock.

Also try Pepboys, Autozone, and even Walmart. Sometimes it is hit-or-miss if it is actually on the shelf any given day.

Question

FYI:
Looks like you have 2 different rear tires.....and the drivers rear appears to be installed backwards. I believe the "V" in the spread should always be pointing down so you maximize coverage when going forward and water will "bleed" into the center channel from the V ribs pointing to the center........ anyone else notice this?



Welcome and nice 02 S boxster!

Thanks. Good eye. Yes I know that and used it to my advantage when I was negotiating. The rears have Kumho and Falken. The front has Yokohama's. I alrewady have plans on changing all 4 tires and have the car aligned. Belts, air filters, oil filters and cabin filters are already on order. I'll be washing, waxing and detailing the car today.

Is Mobil 1 0W-40 the choice for these cars? Reading the manual MFG recommends
10 W-40
15 W40
15 W-50

Doing a search on Rennlist and this board the choice seems to be
0 W-40.

Is this the choice?
