Default The problems I have here in Chicago

I cant seem to go to Walgreens or CVS to purchase a surenge to suck the supercharger oil out of my car. No. 2, when I go to a paint store and ask them if the have tolulene, they never heard of the stuff. As big as this city is, I would figure somebody would know what i am talking about.

I can push oil in but can't suck it out. 2000SilverBullit, TaylorD, Fuddyduddy, acgssei, do any of you all have a syringe I can borrow?
