I did, ordered online... Picked it up this morning in store.

As for the K&N - same story, expect they only offered delivery.. ($10).
I grabbed it through here: http://www.supercheapauto.com.au/spare- ... inder.aspx

Given the damn delivery was $10, I ordered 2 to justify it, and some oil as well.

Something odd might be going on with it, I had the same delivery charge show up last night when I was looking at the trans filter.. lol
Don't think they offer pick up in store for the K&N, but you should be able to with the trans..

Maybe ask in store if you can order a K&N, to pick up

No worries will do, hope I can work out how to do trans, drain half, change filter drive for so long, hours days?
Then drain and fill again, will get 2x 4litre

I gave it a week (because I was lazy, lol).. It'll mix after the first drive, basically.. Minutes.

4.5 came out when I drained it.. So ideally you'll want around 10L to be safe.

It's very simple, honestly.. on par with an oil change
