Consider yourself lucky. Up here, our Pennzoil promotions involve either $5 off at Jiffy Lube (yeah, I'll be right there) or a few bucks off Pennzoil Ultra when bought in the six packs of one litre bottles. There are two things wrong with that, of course, the first being that Ultra is next to impossible to find, and a six pack even worse.
On the other hand, I do give Anco wipers (Federal-Mogul, I believe). Their rebates are often valid on both sides of the border.
As far as Ultra goes, I wouldn't be ready to throw the towel in yet. Obviously, they need something to compete with GC and M1 0w-40, and the only product they have that does so happens to be available as Ultra.
They need to rebrand Ultra as Shell Helix Ultra, as many of us have said here in the past. It might please the oil snobs and the motorsports snobs.
