What ratings do they carry That will tell you.
One of my favorite jokes is,
New York pizza is superior to Naples pizza, because, in New York, they use imported cheese, but in Naples, they only use domestic cheese.

I think they are both the same. Just the domestic one has Dexos 1 and the import one doesn't. Saves Shell/Canadian Tire the Dexos tax on the import oil.
They do make a Euro version that strives to meet the European specs. This “Import” version is just the North American approvals without the Dexos approval as mentioned above. Why, not sure.
Remember, all the canadian tire OEplus oils are shell products and cross reference exactly with either a pennzoil, quaker state or shell(Quaker State Euro LX 0w30 = shell helix ultra) oil. Shell has approvals with manufacturers/API/ACEA for their different products and the OEplus line of oils represents the same.
Not the same as Pissoil or cracker state at all . The OEPlus has a much higher kinematic viscosity . The black jug Motomaster synthetic might be, but not this stuff. The spec sheet on import and domestic seem to be the exact same . CT had no 5w30 domestic available so i bought the import as it meets dexos1 license
