I always thought it was made by Petro Canada, they may have had Esso do it at some point in time but I think primarily PC. I could be wrong but thats what i remember reading once.
Its basically a group 3 synthetic, so no better or worse than stuff like Valvoline, QS, Castrol Group 3's. Its not exactly cheap oil, so I say go with a proven non group 3 synthetic instead.

Shell is supplying Can Tire for the Supreme. formula 1, mineral blend and synthetic.
The shell synthetic is 100% PAO
The blend may get between 40/60 % of synth.base.
The data sheet sent by Can.Tire and Shell are very similar, the only difference seems to me that they tried to make them look different.However the Shell representative is saying that the Shell oil are better quality and will exceed API requirment and C.T. oil will just meet the requirement.
Most of the info I have is in French, if you want to see it I can always try to post here
Hope this help

It's not a bad oil.
Cold starts at -24 degree celcius are easier with this one than with Mobil 1 5w30.

alors ça veut probablement dire que t'es francophone.
C'est une denrée plutôt rare ici
Yep, I have noticed that N/A Syntec (which is not all gpIII, but GpIII, Shell Slack wax and PAO) does seem to start easier than Mobil 1, but what happen when it get's really cold??quote:

For many of us this isn't a factor, though.
Some of these oils, I think are a lot better than the board is giving them credit for.
You think -24 degree celcius is not really cold ? I live in the coldest climate of north america. Max temperature is 31 in summer and minimum temperature in winter is -35 degree. -45 to -55 with wind factor adjustment.
I agree with you. This one is good and nobody talks about it. I had condensation under my oil cap with Mobil 1.. It is all gone using this oil.

It's on sale this week for $19.99 for a 4L jug, so some of you should try it and so some UOAs!
