I had been on geico, they wanted 250 per 6 months per motorcycle for full coverage, allstate wanted 150 for for both (combined)...anually. I never shopped around much for the car stuff.

Who are you with?

Can't search their website for fluids which blows. Looking to get some motor oil as well.

edit: Also Austin is the Kendall GT-1 - Motor Oil what you use? Read some good things about Kendall Oil

My local Subaru dealership also carries it.

I'll remember that when I'm in Tacoma ;)

[Mlarsen]

Just an FYI Aaron, another shop that I know of another shop local that carries redline products. I kinda know the guy who owns it and I might be able to get a deal on it.

[Grand525]

Bought some RedLine at NAPA.

So quick question for all of you experienced e30 guys.

I have read that some people pull m20s with the trans using just the front valve cover lift point.

I have a engine hoist on loan from a friend, but not a load leveler. I noticed at harbor freight the load leveler is about $50. If I can borrow one form somebody for like $20, that would be awesome.

Also, I know that the rear lift point is hard to get to. My valve cover is powdercoated, and I would rather not scratch it up.

So how should I go about removing the old m20/putting the new one in?

[Keith M]

The rear lift point isn't hard to get to. If you try to lift it by the valve cover studs, you are in for an epic, possibly tragic fail.

Edit. I didn't read it all. Just do it the correct way and use both lifting points.

I'm not sure what the name is, but I use Kendall synthetic blend 20w50 in the M50. IIRC, that's what the M20 is supposed to take.
