No point in asking the counter jockies in most outlets. They wouldn't know shit, frankly, unless its for an Evo.

Swoosh...

umm what?

Who said your label on your container of oil should?

Having to explain humour to somone... Anyway...

Open your mind Grasshopper. The comment was pointing out that most counter staff in these outlets have little or no conception of vehicle makes or models beyond what it is that they have had immediate exposure to, for example, the Mitsubishi Evo, or perhaps the Subaru Forrester. I have had experiences where as soon as I mention some truly exotic vehicle such as a Land Rover their eyes have glazed over and in response to any question and a brief look through catalogue have confidently declared ``Oh we don't stock that.'' I have subsequently found same on their shelf.

In this particular case the OP had reported similar and yet the requested product is listed in their online store.

So you see. The comment, while it appeared on your computer screen, was not directed at you personally, or your oil container.

Clearer now?

Hey dude, untwist your nickers, the auther asked where to get the oil, not the IQ level of those that stand behind the counter, he can read the containers for himself and make an informed desicion on which one he wants. :roll:
