Anyone knows where I can get a few litres of those in Calgary? I'm having a tough time finding any synthetic 5w20.

Try Wal-Mart. I found 0W30 synthetic there when nobody else had it.
we carry 0-30 its pricey but i can help you guys out if you buy enough. as far as i know there isnt a 5-20 synthetic. the only 5-20 i know of is petro canada
im pretty sure supterstore has the cheapest, i use mobil1 synthetic, its like $23 for 4L...
Superstore for sure.. haven't seen it lower any where else
Hmm...it says 5w20 on the oil cap...but I've also heard that the 5w20 is only recommended to meet Cali-emission standards and that 5w30 would work just as fine...but I'd really hate to mess around.
I've read somewhere that the oil change frequency has been reduced to once every 8000kms on the 2001 Civics. That means about 10,000kms with synthetic..assuming that I don't push it too hard...ick
Try a part source ..they usally have a wide range of oil's
yes we do. but i think our moble 1 is 26 buck for 4l. we have castrol synthetic as well. but i think we only sell 1L 5w20
ya i did some checking today they do make 5-20 synthetic but we dont sell it. i can get mobil for like 5 bucks a bottle. and yes 5-20 is made strictly for emmisons and new warranty's from ford and a few other manufacturers.
5W30 is okay to use on your car. You won't be able to notice much difference between the 2 different oils. 5W20 is just for emissions and fuel efficiency reasons.Originally posted by Si_FlyGuy

yeah, me too, i looked all over the city and cannot find a synthetic 5w20 oil. i had to settle with Quaker State 5w20 peak performance oil.

That's true.... You can use a 5w30....... It's mainly used to pass emissions test in california
Most manufacturers recommend 5W20 for their new vehicles, but you can get away with 5W30. The difference is so little you cannot tell the difference.
I buy my oil from Costco... 1 box of Castro Syntec (6 bottles) cost $26. 1 box of Castro GTX (12 bottles) cost $20. They also have Pentro Can. oil, and they are even couple bucks cheaper. Not many different weight to pick from though (just 5W30 and 10W30).
