    Engine oil

    No this is not another "which is the best oil to use" threat. I have noticed here in Canada that the price of engine oil is slowly sneaking higher in price . This time last year a 5litre jug of oil was around $16.00 for Quaker State 20/50 .Now it is a $22.00 . I only say this is strange because when gas prices were higher at $1.20/ $1.40 a jug of oil was $14.99 a few years ago.

    What are you guys south of the boarder paying for a jug of oil.

        The same her for the WallyMart oil but the more popular brands are rising fast.

          Quaker State oil is about the same at WallyMart as Canadian Tire or anywhere else$22.00 for 5 liters. The cheap no name oil isn't rising in price as fast.
