Default Where do you guys buy your engine oil in the GTA?

Well I read this forum and found out the engine oil i shoudl use is

Motul group V or Royal Purple or Amsoil down


now I checked canadian tire webstore and they don't have any of these listed and a sticky thread said not to use M1s no more as they suck now.

So which shops in the GTA carry those 3 and at what prices?


thanks

Esso Ultra XD-3. 100% Group IV base stock PAO synthetic.

Used by s2000 track club, and it's starting to increase in popularity elsewhere too.

Outperforms every USDM motor oil available today according to tests on www.bobistheoilguy.com and others (would love to see how it stacks up against Motul 300v or 8100, but no one has done a head-to-head yet).

currently running the 300v and the only difference it made was a dent in my wallet

ran the 8100 last oil change and it was as good, if not better than the 300v. mind you, my way of telling is just a subjective "feeling" of how well the car responds, idles, etc. the 300v didn't seem to make a difference even on my stock engine

Originally used M1, changed to Royal Purple 3 changes ago. Car runs so much sweeter (smoother in mid-high rpm range).
Get it from Performance Improvements on the Queensway (at Islington). Can't remember the cost.
