TGMO Price Increase - Canada

[USask2000]

My 2023 Tundra is scheduled to arrive on March 2 so I was recently at the dealership finalizing the deal and doing paperwork. Since my wife's Rav4 is due for an oil change in April I stopped by the parts department and was quoted $14/litre for TGMO 0W20. This is up from the $7/litre I paid in the fall of 2022. I called the four Toyota dealers in my province and each one of them quoted between $14-$16 per litre. I was planning to use Mobil 1 in the new Tundra anyway, but this certainly makes my decision for what to use in the Rav4 a lot easier! Mobil 1 EP is around $75 for a five-quart jug when not on sale, but is somewhat-regularly 45% to 50% off at Canadian Tire.

Has anyone in the U.S. noticed the price of TGMO has skyrocketed?

Retail oil prices almost doubled too lately, just check Canadian Tire prices, some oil is now in $95 a jug range at regular price.

Just checked E-bay and 0w-20 is about $55 for 6 quarts

You’re right. Castrol Edge EP is now $95 at Canadian Tire. Yikes. I wouldn’t say that’s double what it used to be, but still….wow. Even at 50% off it’s crazy high.

It's now reasonable to buy Liqui Moly oil on Amazon ... Lol

I'm personally switching to Euro oils now, low ash, low NOACK, equal or better than EP oils, many have PAO or and Esters in them, I run 6k km OCIs anyway. They are often cheaper than SP / Dexos oils and better than them too.

Castrol Edge EP is now $95

Ouch, that's harsh. Just bought a jug of that in 5W-30 at local WM for $17. USD

Tgmo aint that great. At 7 bucks per liter it was already a scam. Now it's an even bigger one. Find whatever cheapest 0w-20 and you'll be fine. Doesn't walmart canada sell a 5l jug of supertech syn for like $25 or so. I'd probably start there.

 

[The Critic]

List is $8.89/qt, definitely higher than what I recall.

 

[Danno]

Yes, TGMO Canada prices have doubled. Will use Costco or CT oils on sale from now on.

75 dollars for M1? WTH

I was talking about this in late Jan full break down

Toyota/Amsoil advice

I've heard somebody make that claim simply due to the fact that Toyota adds more dimer Moly. I don't think that's sufficient grounds to draw that conclusion. I was about to post the same observation. There seem to be a lot of folks here who love to see large ppm numbers for Moly but don't...

Walmart Canada's flyer shows ST full synthetic oil at $28.88/jug. Up $4 from last year and up $8 from 2 years ago, if I recall. Glad that my oil hoarding is worth something now.

It's going for about $33 at my local WM. Are they only running deals at specific outlets?

In Europe mobil 1 5w30 Еsp - 5 l. Is approximately 50 USD.

Got Jug of that on sale last August for $24 and change on Rollback at Walmart.

 

[medunko]

yep, the sale here is up to $49…
Penzoil or shell is a deal but I don’t know a person to use it.

Instead of calling Toyota dealerships for the price of TGMO, go to the Toyota website (it’s cheaper) here’s my internet price $6.62 a qt. Cheap(er)
