You can also mix 2 weights to get the correct viscosity to do this change. Many people have done this fluid change this way.

I have a guy ordering this tranny oil. He is at 8600 Keele Street. He is getting a case of 24. He should have it in by Saturday. Yet, it's 18.95 per bottle. If you are interested his number is 416-514-0284. I'm picking up 3 bottles on Saturday, along with redline engine and diff oil.

Yamaha a few tips for UPS other than completely avoiding that rip off company.... call them up and complain but try and remember the person on the other end has the power to help you or not. They may give you a "one time" deduction of their rediculous fee. Explain your situation how you bought the item for xx$ and you had to pay the crazy fee, etc. I thought they had changed their evil ways and order parts in using them after boycotting them for nine years. Turns out they are just as evil as ever and it was another $45 on top of the $100 worth of parts - insane. They reversed the charges but I was pretty polite but let them know I wasn't happy and the fee was rediculous - a tricky balancing act but it worked out.

If you HAVE to ship via UPS use their most expensive shipping method or the one just below that and the brokerage is included. It's usually cheaper overall. Personally I have my stuff shipped to the US and I have a shipping company that ships it up and I brokerage it myself.

Thanks for the tips. Wish I known about the 8600 Keele Place before I put the order. Anyhow Thanks.

And Thanks for the UPS tip, I will give that a try.
