Oil

[atomicpulse]

ok from the most i can remember there are the following types i can buy:

Mobil 1 with SuperSyn™ 0W-20, 0W-30, 0W-40
Mobil 1 with SuperSyn™ 5W-30, 10W-30, 15W-50

Right now before I change to synthetic I use 5W-30

You are a Canuck! Cheers!

Don't use any of them, you are Edmonton, you need to best possible cold weather protection available.

Listen to what I use and it is the better than Mobil 1 and guess what, it is full synthetic and is CDN$3.64 per liter.

Go to your local Esso Bulk distribution center and order a case of Esso XD-3 Full Synthetic Motor oil.

It is Mobil 1 0w30 in a Esso bottle and is half the price.

So cheap and awesome protection for the money.

Trust me, I have done 50 hours research on their oil.

hrmm esso has a distribution center?? haha guess i have to go on a look for it i'll try it out for sure!

[BlazerLT]

Yip, you have one there. Just ask your local Esso station where the local Esso Depot is.

Here is the information on the XD-3:

I just ordered two cases today.

If you buy Mobil 1 , you are only wasting money.

Here is the distribution centers in your area.

how much does a case cost?

[BlazerLT]

12 One liter bottle Case = CDN$43.68 + Tax
4 Four liter jug case = CDN$58.24 + Tax

Mobil 1 12 : 1 Liter Bottles: CDN$93.48+Tax
Mobil 1 4 : 4 Liter Jugs: CDN$132 + Tax

Do the math and see all the money you will be saving.

That is a big price difference. Now with this Esso XD-3 are there different types like mobil one have 0W-30 and so on.. If so which type is best for me?

[BlazerLT]

0w30 is absolutely PERFECT for you.

Can't get a better grade of oil for your colder condition.

It is what I use in Sudbury, Ontario.

[atomicpulse]

and its wicked in the summer as well when it gets "hot" out? haha

[BlazerLT]

you betcha, you see, at 100c it is still a 30 weight.

5w30
0w30

The same oil at 100c but the 0w30 is thinner when really cold.

0w30 can be used safely year around.

[atomicpulse]

Awesome thanks for the info!

[BlazerLT]

Your welcome, go get some, you will great fuel economy in the winter and summer.

Oh, btw, perform an engine flush first before you go to the synthetic to clear out the conventional sludge.

[atomicpulse]

yup I will, I remember all the instructions you have gave me a while ago. and will follow them as well

0w-30 Is Designed For The Tighter Bearing Clearances Of New Engines. Some High Performance And Exotic Motor Require It And Nothing Else Otherwise There Warranty Is Voided. Yes You Can Use It In A Looser Tolerance Motor But Oil Pressure Will Be Affected.
