Im sure he will answer but yes he has lubes of all sorts. You can bring your own too if you have a special brand you prefer. Trust me when I say, the shop is set up. I love this GTG, can you tell?

Any hard parts such as filter kits, brakes etc sould be purchased ahead of time, therefore utilizing lift times accordingly, depending on how many members show. Fluids such as oil can be purchased at the store for a reasonable price. We use Havoline 5w-30 motor oil as well as 5w-20 and 15w-40 oil for diesels. transmission fluid is a dexron 3 synthetic blend and gear oils include 75-140 synthetic for gear boxes and the conventional 80-90 gear lube. Both coolant types are avail. being dexcool and ethelglycol green coolant.
 
There is a Checker auto supply store nearby and a pepboys for any last minute purchases needed.  I pretty much have all the tools needed for nearly any repair, hand tools, jacks, airtools etc are covered unless you bring your own tools. I have my own tech 2 scanner for SES lights and needed updates if reqd.

This GTG ROCKS!

I still plan on the water pump/flush, front brakes, and alignment.  Not sure I'm gonna be able to get the tires before hand, tho.

I think when I look for a house in Oregon, I need one with a shop and a garage.  Yeah right!

See you bright and early Sunday morning!

Hey Matt, yes we have the fluids there that you need but I am running short on Autotrak fluid for the  tcase but I will restock in time for Sunday, so all fluid fears set aside...

Once again if theres any last minute details Ill post them as usual  Thumbs%20Up

That was Darren...the 2500 doesn't have a drain plug.  Poor guy.  That would have been a good time to install an aftermarket drain plug kit. 
 
The 1500 has a drain plug, so there is no chance of wearing it!  Wink
