That I cannot answer. I only got to look around the warehouse, not where they actually make the stuff, unfortunately. And there was way too much stuff on the shelves for me to hunt for M1 0w-40, and it was all in boxes anyhow.
It really didn't cross my mind to ask, either. In retrospect, I wish I had.
Garak, I'd bet my left one that one they shift to the new spec, that's all they make...particularly if the SN is markedly different, as asserted here...why would you run two sets of basestocks (one apparently better), two add packs, and sell them alongside each other.
I'll even go as far as to "assert" that the reason the older blends are still considered "current" is because they are allowing a period for older stock to be sold out alongside the current blends...looks like Canada is catching up to the production schedule, rather than a special SM country.
Wonder what the OP can get in his country given he should be using SM for his blend.
