Hi All!
New to this forum, but not to forums! First off, I'm from Calgary Alberta (go Flames!)
, and I'm hoping there's a few other of us Igloo dwellers on this site.
I have a question a few of us have been discussing at dieselram.com
We are 99.99999% sure the refiner for Canadian Tire's 15W40 Diesel Oil is Shell, but more importantly, IS THE OIL IN THEIR "HOUSE" BRAND A ROTELLA PRODUCT? And if so, anyone know WHICH ROTELLA?
When I worked at Esso many moons ago, the packaging plant at the Strathcona refinery would make Cdn Tire Bottles / jugs etc and used the same oil that went into Esso's name brand products. The contract was then awarded to Shell a few years ago.
FYI...Cdn Tire's 15W40 Diesel is labelled as an API CI-4 oil (specifically states "EXCEEDS API CI-4"). It also meets the 20078 Cummins spec (the latest spec from Cummins designed for EGR equipped engines and the associated soot issues with many new diesels) as well as Mack's E-OM, and a bunch of CAT, ALLISON, FORD diesel specs blah blah blah.
A few of us are really curious to confirm if it is indeed Rotella. My Dodge is in the "severe" category; we like to change oil and filters (FleetGuard filters only) every 5000km.
At $29.99 for 20L for the house brand, it's a pretty sweet good deal if it's Rotella with a different package!
Thanks all, and great website!
ps Is Doug Hillary human? I dunno...I think he's a Computer gone insane somewhere in Australia's Outback...
