Last time I checked, they didn't sell 0W20 in the large jug.
Never any juicy oil deals in Canada?

A few months ago I tried to buy a 5 litre jug of this oil at the very store noted above on Sheppard Ave. I was told it was un available in 0W20. Notice the bottle pictured above is a 1 litre container. I hope I'm wrong but I don't think you will be able to find it.

The quantity is different when I select the 946 ml
I remember about a month ago I saw the 5L jugs at the Weston & 401 location.

Here is the proof

Now I'm gonna have to go and buy some. I've got an oil addiction.
I should have mentioned that the pic was taken at Weston & 401 location.
The jug looks different from 5w version. I wonder if this is made by different brand.
For sure the 0w20 is not made by Shell, bottle is totally different. It looks similar to the Castrol GTX bottle but who knows.
Good call HKPolice I found the MSDS sheets and it is made by Wakefield.
0W20 Formula 1 synthetic
Wakefield Castrol

So this is why Canadian GTX bottles look different compared to the states. The 43.01 cSt @ 40C doesn't match up with any Castrol synthetic 0w20 though. Either it's a unique blend for CT or just testing/batch variation.

Hmm, I wonder if that'll spread to other grades or if it's just to remain for this specific viscosity.

From checking the list of the MSDS sheets only the 0w20 is by Wakefield the rest are Shell/Sopus & that also includes 5w50.
CT had a similar 0w20 sale not long ago around boxing day, seems to happen every month now..... Maybe they finally figured out that selling oil at a reasonable price is actually more profitable due to the exponentially higher volume of sales.

$24 for 5L would be considered a good buy. The limited quantities is probably because of low demand and the general public that are unaware of this weight being sold. CT does a pretty good job keeping the 0W20 obscure. The pic I took was at the floor level that if you didn't know any better you would have mistaken it for the 5w20 oil. With all this exposure in this thread I would imagine they will have a few sellouts in the future and possibly stocking more jugs on the shelf.

Formula 1, Pennzoil, Quaker State, Castrol & Mobil 1 all take their turns at the weekly sale so yes it usually works out to a month to a month in a half for it to go back on special. I think of the sale prices more like that is the actual retail price of oil especially when it is set at the 45% off mark....CT is fully aware that Canadians love seeing stores and ads plastered with red tag sales so the best bait for us suckers is to see a jug of $44.00 now down to $24.00.

For conventional oil users....Jan.29 - Feb. 4, 2015
CT sales are like regular prices in the US or at Walmart.
