I know that all of C-T's oils are Shell oil, but I'm still suprised that Shell bottled oil isn't sold up here (or at least I can't find it).
We have plenty of their gas stations; but when I go into them, all I find is Pennzoil. I know this is their (SOPUS) best-selling oil product, but I'm still suprised somehwere they don't have regular Shell oils.....
Why no Shell-branded oil in Canada?

Shell does sell packaged motor oil here (dino, called Formula Shell in white jugs w/ blue caps).
I have stocked up on Formula Shell when Loblaws had a sale. Now I have 16 jugs in all...
I bought Shell (white bottle) at Costco in Surrey BC.
I've found Formula Shell oil at Canadian Tire. Some of them. Only flavor I've seen is 5W30. One store had 4 L jugs, another only had quarts, several had none at all.
Now that I think of it, the store with quarts didn't have any more when I checked a month or two later. And the one with jugs was mysteriously keeping them in the diesel/specialty oil section... you may need to hunt to find them.

British Columbia distributorsCostco sells Shell oil by the case, 1 litre bottles, cheap, 5w30 and (I think) 10w30.
quote:I can't speak to the cleaning properties since this is my first time using it but it seems to have dropped the consumption (opposed to Can Tire 10w30) on my '84 Accord.
Originally posted by addyguy: Thanks for the info - I was mainly just curious about why I didn't see it, but was also thinking of trying it, as some have said this oil has good 'cleaning' properties......
