I work for Castrol and some Toronto area Mr. Lube stores actually carry Castrol GTX 5W20 in bulk. What is happening with the increased popularity of 5W20 the Mr. Lube stores are replacing the 10W30 bulk as their tanks are emptying. But the stores that don't have the bulk are using the Esso Extra.
I pulled into the Mr Lube at Lawerance and Kennedy expecting GTX and I got Esso. I noticed increased engine noise after they put it in. Next time no ESSO. I guess I will provide my own oil next time. I get a great deal from work anyhow. But I am off to the dealer on Tuesday for my 60000km service. I am taking Syntec with me.
