So what happens if someone puts this "Truck / SUV" 5w30 oil... in a regular car? View attachment 252774

It will then identify as a Truck/SUV and you'll have to "TRANSistion" the Title reflect that

I though some states have passed regulations so original titles
have to show what the vehicle was at birth in the factory?

Advance Auto is having a clearance on their Die Hard hand tools.

Die Hard hand tools???

I thought Die Hard was a battery brand... maybe they'll start making
recliners and leak proof artificial underwear for the old people too!

Wow, I was in their store locally a few days ago and didn't see anything about this.

Seems like they'd have a "Goin Out of Bidness Sale" sign on the door or something

Not all AAP stores are going out of business

 

[Bill Judson]

Not all AAP stores are going out of business

Why is that?

Are some corporate owned stores while others are independently owed?

 

[eljefino]

AAP isn't going out of business, they're just closing some low-performing or redundant locations. When they absorbed Carquest they sometimes wound up with two stores on the same block, for example.

Bingo!!! The pattern I've seen is most AAP closing are in the 'hoods"

I believe you. Gf was at a stand alone CarQuest store bit ago up north. She got 5 gallons Valvoline Premium Blue 5w40 for $4.50 each. Said there was like 4 red tags one on top of other.

Their tool clearance was exhaust pipe expander and some detailing stuff.
