Like oils, filters etc. I tend to wait until Repco has a sale on, or is there better places to shop?
Thanks

You do know what Repco stands for?

I wish I could use oil that was $70 for 20L. This stupid bloody engine needs special attention. I wish it would just give up and die so I can fit a real motor in. But not before I have the real motor yet, just incase my motor is reading this thread...

Yeah. Shell Rimula 15w-40. You can generally save a bit if you buy direct from the refinery or depot. I get lots of things at cost due to work. If I could get away with it I wouldn't be paying for oil cos work puts the same oil I use in their equipment.

Wish I knew someone in the tyre industry though.

Repco has 20% off sale a few times a year for auto members ie RACV. In fact it is on for the month of July. I buy all my parts from Nissan though.

I'm happy I have a choice, between Repco and Autopro again. The Autopro has reopened with a really keen manager.

It's common to make a sale, then they order the parts in for you. I have a mate that does it for Land Rover spares.
