Mobil 1 5W-20

Does anyone here, know where in Regina you can get this?(http://www.mobil1.com/USA-English/MotorOil/Oils/Mobil_1_5W-20.aspx)

I have to admit, I haven't looked that hard yet, but I've checked Canadian Tire South and North Albert, and Walmart, and have come up empty.

I ran 0-20 in my 02GT before I got rid of it, but I see now mobil1 actually has a 5-20, so I thought its prob best, that I use that.

Thx for any insite.

There must be at least one Imperial Oil/Esso bulk oil dealer in Regina. They will sell it by the 6x1litre pack and it will be cheaper than Crappy Tire or any other retailer. Just a suggestion.

I had considered doing that, but since it says in big letters in an big bold box in the owners manual, something to the effect of "Using an oil that doesn't meet fords minimum requirements, and other than a 5w20 will void your engine warranty" I decided against that. I did it anyway in my 02, but in my 05, the 3V is a relatively new design for ford, and it would be just my luck that something would crap out on it (not related to oil) and be denied coverage because of it.

I didn't realize you have an 05 Stang! Ya, with that I would try and find the 5w-20 probably. I know with my 04 at Bennett they don't seem to care that much that I use 5w-30. But I mean they know my car has mods and stuff too.

This is starting to get very frustrating. I can't find an esso bulk oil dealer in Regina. (Atleast non are listed in the phonebook or yellow pages).

I've called almost every auto parts store there is, and a few sell the 0-20 but nobody wants to stock the 5-20. You would with think that with every new ford and honda sold in the last few years using this, a few people would stock it.

Any other ideas? I may have to start looking into something else.

Have you checked to see if Bennett has Royal Purple in 5w-20? That could be an option if you're so morally opposed to using 5w-30 or 0w-20 in your car. I mean seriously if your motor breaks I'm sure they aren't gonna go to all the effort to do an oil analysis to find out what type of oil you're running.

Seriously there is not that big of a difference in 5w30 to 5w20. Just use the 5w30 and stop giving yourself a hernia.

I talked to my bulk Esso/Mobil Oil dealer and he gave me the name of the Esso/Mobil dealer in Regina. It's Heartland Agro. You can get everything you need there .

I went with Mobil 1 5w-20 this time instead of 5w-30. Thoughts?
