Where do you guys buy synthetic oil locally? I don't have much foresight, and my car's well overdue for an oil change and there's currently no sales on mobil1 at cambodian tire how there usually are.
I need synthetic motor oil, differential fluid and transfercase fluid :ahwow: Where does everyone buy theirs from?

Try Walmart for synthetic oil?
They have the Pennzoil oil jugs that costs in the mid 20's, usually they're advertised in the flyer.

I know you said locally, but consider going down to the states to WalMart, it's where I get Royal Purple at around $8 per Liter

I get Royal Purple for $8.25/L at Lordco if I buy a full case. I don't have an account.

That's not too bad, Walmart in the states sell Mobil 1 for about 29 bucks, 5 quarts.

I'm looking for 0-40w synthetic Mobil 1, but I only see small 1 litre bottles at Cambodia tire. Tried looking at Lordco shelves and they don't have it there. Anyone know where I can get the big jugs?

12.
I'm not sure if every counter guy would be willing to give that price, there seems to be a fair bit of individual discretion regarding level of discount given to people without accounts. I specifically asked one time, can you do this $xx.xx price per quart if I take a full case and that's what I've been getting it for since.
RS has an account at Lordco, but I don't think there's much of a discount attached to it...

personally, I like Lubro Moly Fluids in my German cars.
BMV in Richmond sell's Lubro Moly fluids, at a reasonable price.
Check superstore, their prices are better than Ctire lol

Not quite, it's location specific.
The Grandview Highway location carries jack shit when it comes to engine oil.
Well guess its the metro one lol, got the 4.4 litre for 30$ mobil 1

Define reasonable. I have an oil change coming up soon too.

I personally don't buy from them, because I work at a shop and we have distributors.
I have heard good reviews about BMV in Richmond, and stating their prices are more than fair.
Last time I heard LM 5w-40 oil was $40? for a 5L bottle.
Right now their promo for a 6/8 cylinder car is 10L of oil and an OE filter for $99.95

I just buy whatever's on sale at Canadian Tire
Bought 4.4L Castrol Edge last month ~$31
I looked around at Lordco before CT but I have no account and their regular priced stuff is expensive for the big jugs

if you guys want cheap oil, hit up the lordco tradeshow. happens once a year around march.
you do need an account to get in, or if you attend vcc etc.
i believe pennzoil syn was $6/L this year.
my friends usually stock up enough for the year

I buy Esso Extra XD3 0w30 (now known as Mobil Delvac Elite 222) at the Esso distributor on Underhill in Burnaby. It's a well-priced (last I bought it was just under $6/L, but it was a few years back), heavier grade synthetic designed for diesel applications but works great on my VQ and many other gasoline engines as per BITOG. You can look into it if you're game as I believe they also have it in 0w40.
I use Amsoil for everything else just find an independent dealer on the auto forums.

Is this the Penzoil Platinum or some other oil?
The PP is only $24.95 for 4.73L at Walmart, but they want $40+ for the 5L jugs.
Their PP only comes in 5w20, 5w30, and 10w30 which sells out pretty quick.

Have an used oil analysis done with the oil after 10,000kms and see how it wears.

With Lordco ... really oil seldom goes on sale. As for accounts. Only a few accounts get deals on oil. If you find a decent performance rep on the counter, they can help out with RP/Redline/Pentosin and Lucas oils. :devil:

^ I stocked up on mobil1 when it went on sale at cambodian tire, so I'm happier since this post :p
Lordco reps never let me use any discount code on oil, even if I ask "no point, its oil". I bought a couple liters of synthetic Lucas gear oil from them
I run full synthetic and change my oil 2-3x a year w/ a wix filter, which is roughly anywhere from 8,000-15,000kms -- I mostly just started doing it because my engine's notorious for sludge

I never get a discount on oil either they do give a discount on the filter doesn't really make a difference tho...

anyone know if the revscene or any "public" accounts we can use work for sure? I've only bought a couple of things at Lordco and every time I did I felt like I was over paying lol. Also, how would I use the account?

We sell MOTUL, Liqui Moly, Eneos, Pennzoil, and Amsoil
Have friends that work at Lordco. I routinely save 50-70% on purchases over 200. 30% is the standard discount that everybody gets, its still shit.
I usually just stock up at CT when there are sales.

^ nice! Time to load up!
For you BMW guys, castrol is what BMW rebrands as their own oil.
If you've never worked on your BMW before, buy a top-side oil exchanger, load up on oil when it goes on sale, and do it yourself.
It literally takes 5-10 mins with a top side exchanger, and you don't even need to get under your car, what I've started doing since
i'm a lazy cunt.

I thought about putting synthetic in my diesel... Then I realized that it was just all gonna leak out. Shell Rotella ftw.
I know you said locally, but consider going down to the states to WalMart, it's where I get Royal Purple at around $8 per Liter
Walmart has Royal Purple? I don't remember seeing it at the Bellingham one.
I usually just get Mobil1 when I'm there. About $24 for 5 quarts of the regular Mobil1, and just under $27 for their Extended Performance. They also have the Advanced Fuel Economy version which I think is about the same price as the regular Mobil1 synthetic as well.

for the poster asking about 0w40 you'd save a lot of money buying the oil and changing it out yourself but it takes a lot of money to buy the overhead for a shop and pay the employees and some people prefer to have their oil changed rather then do it them selves. if this helps not all mobile 1 fluid shops are a franchise. they don't all have the same pricing and they usually have different options and promotions at different times. so shop around.
for example
at the mobil 1 on #101 - 20540 88 Ave Langley it would be about
0w40 5L or less 81.99
bottle charge 25.99
special filter charge 2.99
drain plug gasket 1.99
environmental fee 2.99
top washer fluid free
February special $8 off
115.95 + hst (13.92) = 129.87 - February special of $8 = $121.87

Hi there,
reviving an old thread I found via search!
I am looking to buy 9 Quarts of Redline 0w40 oil. This seems like a specialty oil since I did not see these on shelves at department stores!
Any recommendations on places that sell this oil? Discounts? Promo Codes? I just read a thread about using RevScene member accounts at Lordco :)
I just checked Amazon and they have 12quarts for 162.73...thats roughly 13.5/quart.
First time buying this oil..damn 9 quart oil changes..my car is thirsty!
Thanks!

Buying 12 bottles on Amazon is probably one of the cheaper places.
Driver's Edge Autosport carries Redline, but I think it is closer to $16-17 a bottle.

Try Mopac in Langley or Lordco.
Your best bets to find redline oil.
Maybe Crappy tire can special order it for you but they won't be cheap.
