Anyone know where to buy 5w20 oil? I've looked through Cdn Tire and Superstore.... none. only 5w30.

 

I think Kensai Racing sells them.. they always take good care of me!

 

Must depend on the location then.. all the Canadian Tires I've been to have it, even Walmart.

 

You can get 5W20 at some Canadian Tire stores, but I have noticed that not all of them stock it (at least not the Castrol GTX that I buy.)

 

I've alway sbeen able to find some at stores in my area.

 

Even the gas stations where I am sell 5w20.

 

yah it seems 5w20 is hard to find, the crappy tire i go to in richmond hill has it

 

this is in Vancouver, BC. Maybe it was that specific CTC or Superstore. Well I'll keep an eye out.

 

Has anyone ever seen 5W20 at Costco? All they ever seem to have is 5W30, albeit for super cheap.

 

Hey Delhi,

I know at least the Canadian Tire in Richmond on No.3 Road and Capstan Way has it, and it's Castrol GTX. Go check it out, I just bought 2 bottles last week.

 

I saw it once at Costco, but a few weeks later it was gone. I don't think they carry it as regular stock yet.

 

Superstore does not stock it, I buy mine at Crappy Tire. The ones I go to only stock Quaker State, not Castrol.. hmm...

I bet if you ask at the automotive counter, they will bring it in for you... especially if you say you'll take the whole case (not that you'll need it all, but it helps if they think it wont sell..)

 

x2...they is only one or non left!!! in my areas!!

 

You don't have to use 5W20. 5W30 is just as good if not better.

 

apparently 5w20 is better for emissions.

 

Nope...not in Kingston.

 

Really? How does that work? I am curious.

 

maybe it's thinner = better gas mileage = better emissions?

 

Just try to buy some in the UK ??! They never heard about 5w20 ??
I wonder what they are putting in theirs RX8 overhere ??
I order mine from Canada, Canadian Tire in Trenton,Ontario to be more precise...

 

Mazda spec'ed the Euro RX8 with 5w30. but here it's spec'ed for 5w20 for emissions purposes.

 

Anyone know if Formula Shell oil is any good? I personally like Shell gas, but I don't know if their oil is good as well. Of course Castrol seems to be what everyone's using anyways.

So far I've only topped up with Mazda dealer oil, but I saw Shell on sale before for like $2 a bottle so was wondering if that's worth trying. They have 5W-20 grade.
