I use a variety of sources.  Most fluifs I get from NAPA Auto Parts, though
for the Pennzoil Synchromesh that my TR8 transmission uses, I have to go to
AutoZone.  And lately Ive been getting Mobil 1 10W40 from WalMart, just under
$25 for a 5 quart jug.

I use Amazon quite a bit too, mostly for the convenience.  Things like
filters, spark plugs and hoses.  I have Amazon Prime, so two day shipping is
often faster than the next chance I would get to go to a local store.

Hardware bits (nuts and bolts) I usually pickup from a local hardware store
that seems to have bins with just about anything.
