Do a double coat of Collinite: one coat of 476s followed up with their 845. That should last nearly all year.

Originally Posted By: Nik Yes, True Valu here in Vancouver (Kitsilano) also carries it ($9 per liter). I bought 1 bottle, but then, just across the border Wlamart has it for abot 3-4 USD a bottle (1 L). Seriously?!?! Good to know! I'll head over there this weekend. Thanks!

Originally Posted By: Button They sell it @ Wal Mart in the States. Have you checked there? Yes, I have checked since that is where I buy my GC and M1 from. They do not have it.

Hello fellow Canucks! I am trying to locate an auto parts place in Western Canada which sells MMO. When I ask for it, people either look at me like I'm from Mars, or they sadly say they do not carry it and do not know of any place which does. So, where can we get a hold of this stuff? Thanks!

Admins/Mods: As a relative newb myself, I think it would be *great* if this cleaned up and had all of the replies aggregated into one response, and was made into a sticky at the top of the forum. :)

Fwiw, I just switched to Rotella T 5W40 in my '95 Pathfinder which has only seen M1 5W30 since the day I brought it home. I cannot *believe* how much more quiet the engine is at idle with the Rotella in it vs the M1. That alone has sold me on it.

Sorry to dig up an old post, but I just purchased a 2006 XC70 with only 36,000 KMs (22,500 mi) on it. I just switched to Rotella T 5W40 in my Pathfinder. Our weather here ranges from -15 C to 40 C (5 F to 105 F), and thought the 5W40 may be a better way to go than the GC 0W30. I was wondering...

1995 Nissan Pathfinder, VG30 (3L V6, gasoline) Purchased in 2000 w/ 112,000 KM and have been using Mobil 1 5W30 w/ Napa Gold (Wix) filters since the day I brought it home. I use a Napa Gold air filter too, changed when the oil is. I change the oil twice a year, regardless of KMs (late spring...
