I noticed this oil on Imperial Oil's website the other day. Only available in 0W20 and a 5W30. I was wondering if this is similar to or the same as Mobil Super Synthetic. http://www.mobil.ca/Canada-English-LCW/carengineoils_products_mobil-super_3000-0w20.aspx

I've read many posts saying to wax before applyingCollinite 845. I'm washing my 2011 matrix today. The paint is quite dirty. After I wash with Zip Wax and clay, what product/wax should I apply before I apply the 845.

I found this on Imperial Oil's site. http://www.mobil.ca/Canada-English-LCW/carengineoils_products_mobil-super_3000-0w20.aspx# I wonder if this is the same as Mobil Super Synthetic 0W20 that is available in the USA?

Just to share with our American friends. While at my local Canadian tire, I was looking at the 0W20 offerings in the oil aisle. Syntec with Titanium can be had for $56.99 for 4.4 litres while M1 AFE 0W20 is only 49.99 for 5 litres. PP 0W20 is only available in litre bottles at $10.99 each. Think...

The OCOD, Tough Guard, Fram air and cabin filters are all gone. Replaced with Purolator Classic, Synthetic and Bosch oil filters. Also Purolator air and cabin filters

The Canadian manual and warranty book for my 2011 Matrix says to maintain the warranty, the OCI is every 8000 km (5000 miles) and TGMO 0W20 is recommended. In the USA, Toyota says you may go 10000 miles (16000 km) when using TGMO 0W20. I called Toyota Canada today and asked why. The lady on the...

I found some 5L jugs of 0W40 Rotella T5 at Canadian Tire. The label states on the back this oil meets API CG, CF and Allison C4 http://www-static.shell.com/static/can-en/downloads/shell_for_businesses/oils_lubricants/1-54.pdf

I have a 2000 Civic with 16DY7 engine. I had been getting DTC P0420 a few times (Catalyst efficiency below threshold bank 1). There were no other codes. I graphed both the pre and post O2 sensors on my scan tool. The pre cat sensor switches rapidly in closed loop and shows the pseudo sine wave...

Just wondering if anyone has used this scan tool. They are going quite cheap on Ebay right now. Is it a good overall tool?

I had the tranny fluid flushed in my 2006 Sienna at the above dealer with 32000 miles. As the van now has 53000 miles on it, I filled out the service request form online for a pan drop/filter change as the pan has never been cleaned nor the filter changed. Here was the dealer's reply. The caps...

Purolator's Canadian website is under construction. Where can you get Purolator filters in the GTA?

My local Toyota dealer charges $8.99 for the Toyota brand oil filter for my 2006 Sienna. My local NAPA charges $12 for the Gold filter. The local [censored] tire has Motomaster or Fram for $6.99 or $7.99 for the Quaker State Purolators. What a surprise when my local Carquest charged me jobber...

I was at Wally's the other day. A guy bought 4 jugs of the Tech 2000 5W30. We talked for a while and he told me he is a chemical engineer at Shell Canada. He said Shell makes Tech 2000 for Walmart and it has the identical formulation as Formula Shell. Who knew?

My parents bought a 2005 Civic hybrid. On the dipstick it says 0w20 only. Does anyone know who makes the 0w20 for the Honda dealers in the US? Google had nothing.

I've searched many Crappy Tire and Wally stores for M1 EP. All we can get is regular M1 SL. Anyone have any ideas?? Couldn't get an answer from Esso customer service line. They didn't know.

I,ve never done a tune up on a coil on plug vehicle before. How do you remove and install the coil on the plug. Does it just snap back on?off? The vehicle is a 2000 Toyota Echo 1.5. The manual calls for NGK Iridium or Denso Iridium. The Denso are more pricey and only available at the dealer. Are...

I'm wondering if any of you have used this or any other synthetic ATF. Any improvement in shifting? Can you go longer intervals between fluid/filter changes. Does it improve cold weather wear and mileage. I saw the M1 at Crappy Tire yesterday in Newmarket.

As my name suggests, I have almost exclusively used pennzoil. But due to the good UOAs from GC 0w30, I went to buy some. Only 3 litres left at my local crappy tire, so I bought 4.4 litres of M1 5w30. After hearing my poor Echo start and run at -32 C with Pennzoil 5w30 dino last week, I knew it...

Does anyone know where to get motorcraft 5w30 blend around toronto without going to the dealer and paying mega $$$?

I changed the oil on my Echo today and I cut open the used Quaker State white painted filter. I don't have a digital camera but I noticed that the end caps are metal, not cardboard, the bypass looked pretty much identical to pics I've seen posted of Purolator Premium Plus. The media inside...
