who's got a dealer hookup for parts in the bay area?

I'm looking for part # K0323AA093 (the factory fill gear oil) The best price I found online was $142 from subaruparts.com

If anyone can match or beat that in the bay area, please let me know! shipping is expensive for this, and I'd like to support a local business anyway!

Thanks,
Nick

just go to kragen and pick up some valvoline 75w90

the subaru 20L drum will last you for the ever and will sit in your garage

valvoline 75w90 was used for my car's 30k service and i started to get a very intermittent grind trying to go into 1st gear at around 50k miles. i switched to the subaru factory fill and i haven't had any grinding problems. i sold the drum to my friend in NJ when i moved to CA so he can use it with his saabaru 92X

i used the stuff before, i know how big the tub is and that i will have enough left over for like.. 3 more changes.. that's fine.. i still want it!

Then why don't you offer to split the costs with the OP and go in on a bucket?

Hmm...that would be a good idea, right?
