Greaser, I still use the 0-30 XD3 in my X-trail, never change using it either in that vehicle, do you have a UFA there, they sell 0-30 and 0-40 XD3 in Polar Plus UFA bottling for little over $5.00-$5.50 bucks per litre in 5 litre jugs. Look for the blue lable with polar bear on it in UFA signature, the UFA attendant will be glad to show you in thier books that it is truely XD3 Syn oil.
In my other vehicles I am going to Boss Blue Ram as alternative to XD3, 15-40 dino HDEO CI4/SL. -42 C pour point which is amazing compared to anyother dino 15-40 at about -30C, I figure they must be filtering out the wax on this stuff and selling very inexpensively, CST 100C just over 15, TBN of 14 which exceeds XD3. Long term OCI oil, great add pack, great flow for $3.45. With block heaters and sump heat pads and this great cold flow, I will use it year round and save on syn oil costs. To note, Boss oil air injects all their additives, I read their background info, interesting.
Boss is near you in Calgary,
http://www.bosslubricants.com, look under specs and find then engine oil, find Boss Blue Ram, the spec sheet is there, good stuff, worth a look. Boss oil outlets are popping up all over rural areas in Alberta and Sask now, lots farmers/ranches using Boss on their machines, Boss is doing good in norther U.S. too. You will see a lot of great HDEO oils in syn, blends, all different types of CI-4/SLs and CJ-4. Some times a good find is right in our backyard locally.
later,
