It was worth the usual logistics to specify – not for the first time, we notice – how the shortage immediately hit the shelves: the necessary “consumables” either

A modern car makes diabolical demands on consumables: give it the right brand of filter and oil. A separate “parable” is power steering fluids and gearbox oil. Experiments on the “box” can only be taken to the repair shop, especially if we are talking about a variator that is too sensitive to oil. Likewise with the power steering, which can hum due to the replacement of the “regular” lubricant and must be replaced. Prices for spare parts, especially when it comes to complex units, it is better not to even look. The dream will be gone. And so it is in almost everything. Whether native Zhigul, who rode what was. Or not.
But let’s go back to reality: the fluid, be it a power steering or a “transmission”, must be changed in time so that there are no problems. And today they are not so easy to find: manufacturers are leaving, and those who remain without spare parts, are stuck in ports and warehouses as a result of political bickering. The rest is sold for a lot of money: a can of ordinary motor oil now costs 15,000 rubles, and it is even scary to talk about rarities like ATF.
Of course, the “rogues” were the first to bother – there is everything on the market and the bulletin board, but the prices do not bite. However, the chances of finding exactly what should be on the bus are close to zero. No matter how similar the container itself is to the original product. Simply put, it is not worth buying this no matter how the traders hands and ears are burning. Miracles don’t happen, but a fool pays twice.
A sensible and proven option is dealers who still have stocks in plastic. The keg was used up in three months, but the “bottled” keg has not yet been used up. Experienced fighters, of course, will find an approach and buy from “trade” managers, but there are fewer such loopholes: representative offices are literally sent “to the bill” after providing an invoice, and they stretch the balance. However, it is worth remembering the specifics of our country: if there is a desire, but there will be someone who will.
Another method is specialized services that specialize in a particular brand. They have already found opportunities to buy in Kazakhstan and China, have arranged deliveries and are ready to sell together with work or separately. Take it. The prices are of course higher than the market prices, but in most cases the product will be the product you need. There is only one way to choose such a service – by reading the reviews. Also car clubs will help, which seem to have a second youth and become popular again. Well, how else, if the usual methods suddenly turned out to be a “pumpkin”?
