I can hear the crickets in here

I picked up a case of this stuff today. The local distributor stocks it. I'll post a few pics later for those who are curious. This is replacing my M1 grease.

From the PDS is looks like a very good alternative Motorcraft High Temperature 4x4 Front Axle and Wheel Bearing Grease (XG-11), it looks to be very comparable. The Motorcraft XG-11 is over $20 a tube, even getting the stuff 10% over dealer cost.

Swtiching to PC oils and grease, huh?

How much is that per case?

$40.00.


LOL!

I can't get over the price of this Petro Canada stuff. Their 0w40 is literally almost half of what I've been paying for Mobil 1, and has the lowest pour point of any oil I've ever seen.

I'm thinking that one of my biggest errs has been ignoring the incredible range of products produced in my own back yard

Lol, also keep in mind that Petro-Canada is now owned by Sunoco. I wonder if any new products will show up due to Sunoco buying them out?

They are both SUNCOR brands, as is Philips 66.

The Sunoco station in Havelock just became a Petro Canada to celebrate this event, LOL

They weren't "bought", it was a merger:

In August, Suncor announced the merger was effective August 1st, creating Canada's largest energy company and the fifth largest North American-based energy company. Suncor Energy is an integrated energy company that combines a leading position in oil sands with complementary operations in refining and marketing, North American natural gas production and conventional oil production internationally and offshore East Coast Canada. The combined new entity operates corporately and trades under the Suncor Energy Inc. name, while maintaining the strong brand presence and customer loyalty of Petro-Canada in refined products.

So, you going to send me a tube of that stuff to try in the frozen tundra of WI.

I have always been amazed at all the different oils you Canadians use. If I lived in Canada I would be all over the Petro Canada products. They really make some excellent lubricants.

As for as the SUNCOR merger, that was just for the gasoline business ($$$). Petro Canada still R&D's all the lubricants.

 

[OVERKILL]

I could! Does it count as hazmat?

 

[Johnny]

No, it does not. I will send you a PM.

 

[Dieseldoctor]

any suppliers in the usa? or any that ship to usa?

 

[OVERKILL]

Easy way to find out: Fire them off an e-mail.

 

[Dieseldoctor]

I found supplier but they're 250 miles away.. not sure they would bother buying 1 case of the product.. yet to hear back

Has anyone used this P-C grease in a CV-Axle? I just regreased a set and went with Molyslip MPG (at Home Hardware). I wonder if P-C blends it for them?

NGLI Consistency: 2

The Bentone thickener is not a common thickener. Be aware of any incompatibility problems with it's use in the future.
