Too hard to get and too expensive ----IMHO.

I know a shop around Whitby that carries it in bulk and for some reason he likes to sell it cheep!

He says its like walking around without blood in your body
so he wants all his customers to use it....
Nice guy too so...

That would be Willies Car Care in Brooklyn On Thickson Rd. & Winchester
I cant recall the telephone number at this time..
Hope that helps alittle..

When I was installing my 1.6TD into my Samurai I stopped at the VW dealer and asked what VW recommended. They said VW recommends 5-40 full synthetic in all turbocharged engines.

Rotella 0-40 goes on sale about every 6 weeks at the Tire for 24.95. i always go and buy a few. don't be concerned about the oil being too thin for summer. the thinner it is,the easier it flows to lube everything. on air-cooled racing forums, i would say most are using lower viscosity than higher. i use 5-30 or 10 -30 all summer in my 140hp beetle, never had any oil pressure issues, it just leaks a little easier.[so what!!-put some cardboard or kitty litter under]

Castrol Syntec 5w40. It's available at any Cdn Tire/Wal-mart. Kind of expensive though, I try to get it on sale. Anybody know if you can buy this stuff in bulk? Like 5 or 10 gallon quantities at a cost savings?

Used to run dino 15W40 year round but just tried Esso XD3 0W40 synthetic and what a difference on those cold mornings.

That's why I run synthetic in the winter. Well worth it IMO. -40 starts without being plugged in, hell ya.
