    WalMart....

    BUT, you should know the Castrol is not a full synthetic. They use a conventional base stock with synthetic additive package.

    Actaully Mobile One sued Castrol for claiming their oil is 100% synthetic but lost the case, so many manufacturers are now doing the same thing as Castrol.....claiming 100% synthetic, but using conventional base.

    REAL synthetic is gonna run ya over $10 per litre.... Amsoil, Red Line etc...

    You can get it at pretty much any auto parts store. They have it and canadian tire, partsource, wal-mart, zellers, costco, etc.

    You won't harm you car by switching between grades and manufactures of synthetic oil. Switching between synthetic and conventional oil could have and effect on your car though.

    Could it hurt your engine (with 117,000km) to start running Synthetic? after using conventional.
