Wondering if you can explain why Chevron/Havoline oils are almost impossible to find in Eastern Canada – I’ve found 1 store in all of Ottawa, Ontario that sells them (Partssource), and even they have cut back their selection.

Will chevron ever package Havoline synthetic in 5qt jugs?

 

Yes, Havoline ProDS Full Synthetic will be packaged and sold in a 5 quart package.

Direct inquiries and demand pull from consumers to retailers and their stores can aid in their stocking decisions. From time to time it is best to check online to see what each individual store stocks in the way of brands and pack sizes, e.g. O’Reilly Auto Parts, Advance Auto Parts, Napa Auto Parts, Walmart.
