CT/FormulaShell Synthetic oil ?

[DZello]

Maybe Canadian Tire's Motomaster Formula 1 is Shell Synthetic with a new label.

They have the same classification : SL,SJ,SH,SG/CF, GF-2 / GF-3, JASO wear test & GM4718M. The Jaso test is rare.

What do you think ? Someone has experience with this oil?

I'm also trying hard to find what is in the Canadian Tire bottle.

I received a bit of data for the mineral oil, but they seems reluctant to answer for the synth.blend of for the synth since they are not answering my email.

I made a new discovery today.The blend and the synthetic are IMPORTED for Canadian tire, its not the case for the other CT oil.

The jugs are almost the same, one little square imbeded in the 1 gallon jugs is missing when compared to the formula 1 mineral oil made for CT in Canada as state on the jug.

So I wonder now if shell produce the blend and Synth only in the U.S ??

I would like to try the blend, they are asking the same price for their top Dino...cant go wrong there I guess
