Scanning through the local Canadian Tire aisle, I noticed that the PP Euro LX 0W30 is Made in Germany now. I don't recall this being the case with the previous PP Euro oils.

Huh, I'll have to take a look at the quarts I have in the garage.

How much is Canadian Tire charging for that jug?

Here is a shot of Euro LX in the CT in Calgary. Like your sample, it's made in Germany. The Euro L 5w30 and the Euro 5w40 that we're on the shelf beside it were blended in Canada. This was last September. Good eye!

I believe CT was running a sale in the $32 to $35 range. I believe the rest of the PP products as well as Quaker State normally sold in Canada are blended by Shell Canada. (SOPCAN). ( I made up that name.)

The Canadian formulas are 5wX because they can't get all the sand out.

Low saps, DPF safe if it's 504/507 approved.....oh it isn't actually approved except for the MB 229.x
The only approved 504/507 Volkswagen oils I have encountered are 5W30
 
I can get that locally and it is high on my "want to try" list. I have no idea if it is German made for sale here, now I will need to check!

That's a great price! Cheapest I can get it down here is $10/qt as Advance Auto doesn't consider this to be part of the specials when they run them.
 
i always question is made in germany for use + sale in germany the same blend as made for export where Group III's are legally "synthetic" but NOT in Germany!!

If the Pennzoil is identical to the AV-L, it surely is a good oil (see my UOAs for reference). The Shell is also very reasonably priced. Last time i paid 24€ for a 5-liter-jug.
