Mainstream 5w30 Synthetic Specification Comparison

[bob_ninja]

EDIT: Tech2K references should be Petro Can.

For Canadians who are interested in low temp performance another option is Esso XD-3 0W30:

..................Tech2K.........XD-3
Pour Point (C)......-36..........-48

Vis Index...........167..........168
CCS (C)............3404 (-30)...5900 (-35)
MRV (C)............9208 (-35)..11200 (-35)

I have to admin T2K still looks good and is bit cheaper. However XD-3 does offer bit more protection. I'll have to take a close look at T2K. Thanks Ron

P.S.: If you have Tech links (specs and such) handy do you mind posting them? thanks

Only to the PetroCan specs. Walmart of course posts nothing. I can't even find MSDS on Canadian Walmart, but I believe they must have it somewhere.
