Need some G-05.. What brands can I use?

[DirtyApe]

I'm needing some G-05.. THe light yellow stuff. I can't find Zerex g-05, what else can I use? I'd prefer to use full G-05 instead of 'mixes with everything' kind of thing..

help?

thanks

I've found that in my town the Ford dealer's brand of G-05 is $4-5 dollars a gallon cheaper than the Xerex G-05. I had to go to 5 or 6 different auto parts stores before I found the Zerex G-05 at $18 a gallon. Then just for the heck of it I called the Ford dealer and was quoted $13-14 a gallon.

Mercedes also carries it under their own name. Mercedes only uses the G-05 formulation in all its vehicles since 1984.

Chrysler and Dodge dealers also carry it for their vehicles. Theirs is orange in color.

No Pep Boys stores in your neck of the woods, mh2800?

I found gallons of Xerex G-05 for $11.00 at PepBoys and then for $9.99 at NAPA. You might want to check that out.

I have found the Zerex G-05 at Carquest.
Motorcraft GOLD is G-05 also, available at FORD dealerships.

No unfortunately the nearest PB is about 2hrs away in Evansville IN. Only go through there maybe once a year at most. Found some this AM at Napa, 10.25 per gal. Zerex G-05 in the gold bottle. Sounds like better priced than some.

Shame I had to go 20 miles to find it, but hey..

thanks though!

thanks!
