I just noticed this weekend, that this oil is now being sold at Walmart ( Canada ). Which is great since I was really disappointed when Walmart stopped selling the Mobil Delvac 1.

Diesel fuel has a much higher lubricity value compared with gasoline. One is basically an oil ( diesel ) and the other is basically a solvent ( gas ). When your fuel is a lubricant, it really plays a major factor in how long your engine will last. I just sold my 91 Jetta TD with 580,000 kms...

Canadian tire and Partsource ( same company ) both can sell you Bosch filters. You likely have to order it. They are cheap ( $5 vs $10 for the same filter from a local parts jobber place ). Bosch filters are made by Champion which makes very good filters. The hard part though is convincing the...

I am located in [removed], and both [removed] stores recently started getting stock of these filters. They don't call them X2 filters like I see at Walmart (which are priced at the price you mention), they call them Fram synthetic filters. Open the box and it says extended guard filters. The box...

Maybe they are sending them all to canada? What do you guys pay for a X2 filter down there? Canadian Tire sells them for $9.99 canadian here.

I bought a few of the FRAM synthetic oil filters on the weekend. Did anyone else notice that instead of 7000 miles, these ones are rated at 11000 miles ( compared to the X2 ). They still say extended guard on the filter too. I think at $9.99, it looks like we might be getting a deal here...

In Canada our walmarts carry both Delvac 1 and Delvac 1300, along with Mobil's other synthetic oils. We use Delvac 1 in our Saturn SL2. This car is not driven that much ( around 5000-7000 kms a year ), so the oil is changed once a year. 5w40 is a good viscosity for year round performance. We...

A few years back, Esso ( imperial oil ) produced all the lubricants for Canadian tire. Esso still produces a line of gasoline synthetic oils, in the viscousities 5w30, 10w30 and 5w50. They are PAO based lubricants like they were before. They haven't moved to group III. I know on this forum some...

Most diesel oils, including the delvac also carry gasoline ratings. So they are also fine in gas cars. These Heavy duty oils are designed for mixed fleets, not just diesels, so they are designed to work for both diesels and gas engines. They will not harm your fuel injectors, cats ( yes diesels...

In canada, the lubricity issue is dealt with by having a lubricity minimum for #2 and #1 fuel up here. This is a government standard. CGSB minimum for #2 is 1.9 cst. During the summer the average for #2 is 3.0 - 3.2 cst. During the winter, it often will go below this for fuel that is blended...

I don't know about a lot of sulfur. We have similar sulfur amounts in our gasoline and diesel as does the states. http://www.sunoco.ca/content.asp?id=125 Sunoco canada's sulfur ratings for gasoline. http://www.sunoco.ca/content.asp?id=34 Sunoco canada's sulfur ratings for diesel. There is a...

Since this product is one of the few PAO/ESTER synthetics that you can buy, I thought I'd mention that I noticed my local walmart has this stuff for $3 canadian a litre. Which yes is a remarkably low price, and which makes me wonder what they are making room for. Normally its 6.xx.

I am in [removed], and I've purchased my Chevron products from an oil distributor in Kitchener call Hog Fuels. They sell the whole line, along with Mobil products.
