Lately, I've been using the Rotella Synthetic 0w40 which is available at Canadian Tire. It conforms to the required specifications for the non-PD engines.

Pros: conforms to required specifications

Another option is the Shell Rotella T synthetic 5w40. It's not a PAO base stock. But it's $13 a gallon, for cheaper oil changes.

Pros: cheaper oil changes

I use Synpower since 20k. But I've decided to try an imported euro spec 5W40 full synthetic for a real good price for a change. Motul 6100 Synergie 5w40 at $5.11/qt with free shipping.

Pros: good price, free shipping

Mileage: 20000 km
