They make some of the best oils money can buy. I love their Dura-Drive ATF as well. Their cold flow properties are true to what a Canadian needs. Love their stuff, just wish it was more convenient to get. (not full price at gas stations)

From your post link, "Supreme Synthetic Motor oils start with 100% Purity VHVI base oils"

Petro-Canada provides more details about their bases than most companies. VHVI is Very High Viscosity Indexes Group III.

Is 120+ is a good Vi for synthetic?

120+ is the minimum API category spec for any oil company Group III base without any additives.

Motor oil has additives that improve the viscosity.

For example, Petro-Canada Synthetic 10w30 VI 153
Mobil Super Syn 10w30 VI 152

Basically, you have to find a distributor. Use your Petro-Points instead of cash to buy oil at the gas station. I've got enough for two synthetic OCIs, if I were so inclined.
