Looking to do some fluid (tranny & rear diff) changes and wanted to know where you guys get your Royal Purple from? I know of Vic Hubbard in San Leandro, but that's too far of a drive.

Anywhere in the Milpitas, Mountain View, Sunnyvale, Fremont, Dublin, Concord area would be great.

 

Winchester Auto Parts had Redline and RP last time I was there.

San Jose too far? http://www.winchesterauto.com/locations.htm

 

I see royal purple at almost every Napa and Pep boys. I also remember Wal-Mart having some for sale as well. But it's only motor oil, no tranny fluid.

 

Awesome, thanks man



I was at WalMart the other day but didn't see any RP stuff, I forgot about Pep Boys, they're pretty big and usually stock up on a ton of ****. Going to check out Monument Car Parts as well.

 

Morgan's Machine and Marine in Walnut Creek was the other place I was trying to remember, haven't been there in years. But I think they're a little bit on the pricier side tho, oh well.

 

If you don't see it on the shelves ask because sometimes they just forget to rack them or can tell you where you can get it

 

Autozone stocks Royal Purple too. Both gear and motor oil.

 

Vic Hubbard Auto Supply on A street Hayward. Just off 880. They sell from royal purp to red line... They even sell C16!! Lol

 

I'm pretty sure Pep boys has it, off of Story in San Jose. Just try giving places a call before heading out.

Oh, btw. Congrats on the new ride. I'm jealous.

 

Do you know something that I don't know?

 

pretty much every autozone in Sacramento has it, but that doesn't really help you.

 

kragen/o'reilly should be able to order it but it's not stocked

 

i was at a kragen before i had to have my engine rebuilt and they had some in stock

 

Gotelli in South San Francisco should have it. I recall getting Royal Purple and Redline gear oil there as well.

321 El Camino Real
S San Francisco, CA 94080-5923
(650) 589-8616

EDIT: Rotorsport in Santa Clara definitely has it. Almost always.

 

A lot of places may have Royal Purple but finding quarts in the viscosity you want is the hard part, I see a lot of 10w30 a lot of the times but 20w50 is hard to find

 

Great, thanks guys.

BTW Farkel, you have one sexy MB.... where in the bay area are you located?

 

I always go to Vic Hubbards off A Street in Hayward for any type of Royal Purple stuff.

 

i recommend gotelli's as well

 

I don't like Royal Purple for diff fluid, it has too much additive in it and on worn out LSDs like mine it doesn't lock up as easily. Heavy gear oil is the best in that scenario.

I also prefer Red Line for transmission fluid over Royal Purple.

Give Paul a visit and talk to him about fluids:
