Does anyone stock Royal Purple?

**Smallville** · 03-20-2007, 10:47 PM

Every place I call, seems no one stocks Royal Purple anything. I need a few quarts of Synchromax and 75-90 by the weekend? Anyone know where to get this stuff in Pittsburgh??

most of my local auto stores carry it.....

We used to buy it all the time from Napa. They never had it in stock, but they could get it within an hour or so.

I have picked up Royal purple at Pepboys, well at least the one in Cranberry.

Most of the bigger NAPA stores should stock some of it, and can usually order SOME of it.

I have yet to find a place to buy in bulk :(

i know this does you no good but both hot rod shops in my area stock it.

Pep Boys in robinson stocks it.

+1 I would call ahead though. They usually don't have much of it. I was going to get some synchromax when I refilled my tranny, but they had one bottle of it which obviously did me no good. I got the penzoil stuff instead, I heard it's the exact same thing as the GM synchromesh just in a different bottle

Hey KBcobra, Jim says hi

**Balaska347** · 03-21-2007, 07:33 PM

Kelly's auto parts in Belle Vernon stocks it.

**Smallville** · 03-21-2007, 07:44 PM

I found a place locally, B & R Speed. Doesn't stock it but can get it in a day. Reasonable prices, something like $8 a quart for Synchromax and $9 a quart for 75w90.
Thanx all for the info!

**Domination** · 03-21-2007, 08:48 PM

I have 3 quarts of 75/90 Gear max, if your interested.

I had them screw my tires to my wheels for me, seemed like a great shop.

I picked up my order at B & R Speed today. $60 for trans/rear oil.

I did get 6 quarts total so I guess it's not THAT bad.
Nice older guy. Seemed to have anything and everything hanging on the walls for the '80s and '90 cars. Didn't get the impression he was all that into Modular stuff, or F.I. for that matter. He mentioned something called a "karbirater"

, what's that??? lol
