Might be of use to someone…

5 US Gallons (18.9L) for $83.99 ($97.88 all-in).

Most places want $50-$60 for 5 litres.

Thanks for that heads up. I should check the price on the 5W40. Winters get a little colder here in the Okanagan.

I always used Shell Rotella T4 in the past, now you cant find it anywhere? :roll: Any location tips?

The Shell Rotella T5 is Synthetic, anyone already using the T5 in their diesel engines? Thoughts/comments on the T5 in a TDI engine?

Princess Auto keeps Rotella T4.

I was using T4 - I changed back to T5 from T4 to see if it made any difference. Seems to be less smokey so far, but I haven't done any longer trips yet. Waiting to see if it is less drippy....

Semi-synthetic and Dinosaur 15W40 both seem to be fine in a 300TDI according to the internet.

We probably change our oil so often that it makes no difference what you use!

Isn’t T5 Semi-synthetic and T6 full synthetic?
