Here's the list to print out... Just edited his post a bit.

Oh, and the mitsu dealers here don't stock "OEM" DiaQueen, they haven't since the mid 90s. They all use Castrol too. If DiaQueen isn't available, don't use Castrol either

Keep telling him to ONLY use DiaQueen and he'll die if he can't get any in Trinidad Or is TTP/Lancershop going to send him some with US standard shipping prices?
