ok, that quote is probably horribly wrong but we havent studied that yet in english lol.
But back to the point, I am looking for Delvac 1, I saw some at wally world not to long ago, then I went in there the other day to buy some and it was gone, and they arent getting it back they said, not even any of the truck & suv. So I am calling out to all you guys who know where the quality oil is, where can I find some Delvac 1 or Truck & SUV in southern Ontario??

 

I don't know about Canada, but the last 2 Freightliner dealers I have gone to carried Delvac 1. Maybe just a coincidence? -Steve

 

try http://www.noco.com/canada/index.html...

they are suppose to carry delvac1 from what i read over on the tdiclub..

you might want to browse over the tdiclub site under the "fuels & lubricants" forum to see what has been found recently. there are a lot of members there who are from ontario who use D1

Since you are in Canada - check out Esso XD-3 extra 0W40.......group 4 synthetic same as Delvac 1 for less than half the price. Not saying its a better oil than Delvac but it sure is cheaper. Delvac 1 was going for $37+ a gallon here in Alberta. Walmart has pulled it off the shelves here as well. Probably didnt sell a single jug at that price.

Give the help line a call and they will tell you that it has a fully synthetic basestok (PAO) ...Ive called a couple of times to confirm.

 

Check at the V.W. dealership. Here in the states they carry it for the TDI.

 

In FLATland (Alberta the one with the dangerous red license plate) it is also at the Esso bulk stations as it is here in Bring Cash beautiful British Columbia.It is cheaper a the bulk stations than the retailers.

 

Ok, called around some more, NOCO has it, they are $195 CAD for a Five gallon pale, plus to get it shipped down here from etobicoke it is another $50-$75 at least she said. I then called mobil direct and they pointed me to a place in St. Thomas, which is about a 20 min drive from here if that, I called them up, they can get it, $140 for a Five Gallon Pale, and since its close, I can just go pick it up, I ordered some up as I think this would be the cheapest I would be able to find. Thanks guys for all the info.

PS. I tried The closest VW dealer and they do not carry it.

If anyone can come up with a place thats closer to me and is cheaper than $7 a Litre, Ill listen.

 

Oh , almost forgot, if someone wants to order from these guys, the name is Dowler-Karn, their # is 519-631-3810.

 

$7 per liter is a pretty good price. right around the same price as regular Mobil1 stuff.

best price i ever got on mobil1 was $5 per liter from walmart. it was mis-priced , and i spent over $400 on 5w30 mobil1 [i emptied their shelves] for pop's truck and van...

The XD-3 extra is Group IV - same as Delvac 1 and costs $4 a litre Just trying to save ya some of that hard earned cash.

Works for me.

 

I hope Wally World doesn't stop carrying the Truck & Suv. I just bought my first few quarts of the stuff the other day. I still have standard Mobil 1 in the MB since I couldn't find Delvac. :-/

 

that is good to know , i had been running quaker state full synthetic , for well well well over 4 bucks a liter , single oil change was costing $120 just for oil and filter.

they have that at all the esso gas stations? or is there a better place to get it?

 

No, youd have to go to an Esso bulk station. I believe John Deer also carried the same 0W40 but its relabelled as their own oil. Out West Walmart carries it as well. $22 for 4L (I guess its more like $5 a litre).

 

You guys are getting screwed, royally! Most Wally stores here sells it for $7-8/gal and naturally they're sold out most of time. Haven't seen a 5-gal pail of it tho.
Gonna check Big-R next week when I get back from the Coast run.

 

Just got back from Esso, it ended up being $133 for 5 Gal plus tax.

Induchman - Are you sure its the Delvac 1 not the Delvac 1300 Super?
