    You can get them at Pep-Boys, probably other auto parts stores too. I also ordered them online at Advance Auto one time when they had them on a great sale price.

    JR, I recall you'd had that problem with the new ones, but I didn't realize the one you got from the mom/pop shop had a larger throat. I'd be interested in the brand name if you can still find that info. Thanks.

    to answer the question

    I have been able to purchase in store at Autozone, Pepboys, Oreilly, and 1 other I can not recall but one of the big ones. Only once were they sold out but always carried them

    Cool thanks all. Great info. FYI I have put about 600 miles on my VX since I got it, and the oil level hasn't moved from full, and it's still very nice and clean. I really do think the previous owner (grantCO on these boards) took exemplary care of it. I think I got very lucky
