Where the hell can I buy 5w20 or 0w20 full synthetic oil in the GTA? I've gone to Crappy Tire, Wal Mart, Costco and I can't seem to find this grade in synthetic. I've only been able to find 5w30. I've been reading that Mobil 1 is a good oil to get.....

I'm due for my oil change and I want to switch to synthetic.

I only know of one small shop across the street from Canadian Tire close to Dundas & Kipling that has the 5W20 in synthetic. They import it from the US or something.

Try ordering Amsoil online. First in synthetics and it is a full synthetic not a blend.

Redline makes a 0W20 but I would not reccomend it.

I found a canadian distributer for mobil 1. They're called NOCO. I think it's noco.com/canada

They have a warehouse in etobikoke (sp).... they sell 0w20 by the case (of 6) for $44.10.

let me ask my friend and see if he can do the GB on them. but only catch is that i need the money to give it to him or if u dont trust me, then either meet up with him and give him the cash or go to the warehouse and pickup the oil and pay him on the spot...something along the line.

post what u need and how many bottles....etc
and i will ask him for u guys

where did you see the Castrol 5w20 synthetic?

if you are using synthetic do you need to change your oil less often? ~ $9 per bottle seems like a lot !

just some knowledge from the mechanic at toronto honda i thought id give you guys.
i was down there friday (yesterday) feb 20 2004. and i go have them do it because, hey, for 15 bucks with taxes and everything they do my oil change and oil filter change and wash my car so its worth it to me. they washed it nice too. and cuz i got my car there they gave me that price, otherwise its like 40 bucks

anyways after they did the oil change i was like **** i forgot to ask for synthetic so i told them to keep it in their notes to run me on synthetic from then on. and the mechanic in there said its good that i forgot this time cuz its best not to use it until you're at 10,000 km.now this is what they told me, im not sure abt it, just telling my tale here. so if indeed its best not to use synthetic until 10,000 then id like to pass that advice on to my fellow 7th gen owners. if anyone knows more on this issue plz put it up for everyone's well being.thx

You guys in Greater Toronto Area can switch to Amsoil synthetic at Mountainside Auto Tech in Burlington, ON, 3097 Mainway, L7M 1A1, 905-335-1656. They carry Amsoil oils, ATF and filters. Currently they have 5w30 XL-series oil on sale. Any special requirements to oil grades/types and filters can be arranged too. At $45 per change sounds quite inexpensive.
