Hate to enlighten you to this, but, if you actually do the research, you'll find that ~100million years ago, most of the central and western United States forms a giant caldera. If this goes, there is a firm chance that only small celled organisms and those in deep ocean will survive. Great...

They do. You just really have to dig. I know in Edmonton, these guys sell them: http://www.dashdistributors.ca . I had to email Purolator, and the email was forward 3 times before I got my answer.

On its back, it says that its virgin oil that meets GF-4 specs.

Just did some digging, the Motomaster Motor Oil, called Nugold (in a black jug, gold lettering) is a Shell Canada product, pretty sure it's the same as the Formula Shell that is also sold. Just for anyone looking for a dino oil that is pretty good.

So was digging around a bit and came across the Tech sheets for Petro-Canada motor oil. Both their synthetic and non-synthetic version. Interesting little bit, TBN's don't change between them, and there is a lot of similarities that go beyond, including Phosphorus, Sulfur, and even their...

So, quick background. I'm trying to get my hands on a Bosch Filter for a 2002 Ford Taurus SE (3.0, VIN code U) up here in Canada. Finally found someone who would order it in. Check the Bosch website, and got the two numbers of 3422 and 72143, but not showing exactly for my car, without asking...

I would definitely be in for it. I'm still not fully sure as to what filters are working best in terms of air. Your work with oil filters has been amazing! I'm actually ordering in a Bosch Premium filter for my vehicle.

I believe the first graph is using their premium synthetic 5w30 auto oil. The bottom uses 10w30. Also, different oils are used in the testing, and I think (though I may be wrong) that they are examining two different things.

WD-40 works well for me. It displaces the water (hence WD) and thus doesn't freeze.

Just though I would put this out there for Canadians (specifically those in Edmonton) Trying to hunt down a Bosch filter after seeing river_rat's tests and that it compares extremely well to the Purolator P1. In Edmonton, I found that Dash Distributors carries the P1, but charge $13.21 for it...

If you'd like it checked, why don't you send it to him?

Send it to river_rat for testing.

Cool. Good to know. So far it's the most affordable (read cheapest) oil that I'm able to find so far, at $2.50 per litre. Anyone know of cheaper, but still quality, oil? I'm looking to stay with dino oil, as I'm still doing 3month/5000K OCI.

So, just to make sure my sleep deprived brain is thinking correctly, The MRV is an indication of how well the oil can be pumped at low temperatures. Thus, the lower the number corresponds to the less difficulty it is to pump at that temperature. So, as an example, the regular formula is 17201...

So hopefully I don't confuse too many people here with these numbers. I've recently been purchasing my engine oil from Costco Canada Warehouses. Cost is $2.50 per liter (quart) which is the most affordable I have found anywhere. So, after some research, found that it's a mineral oil blend...

I ended up having to email them and ask. Cruise through the Pure One website and you can find some shop names and their contact information. They were nice and speedy about getting back to me.
