Engine Oil Prices in Canada
« on: July 25, 2024, 05:00:21 AM »
THIS IS NOT ABOUT OIL PREFERENCE.

If you live in Canada, you know our bike oils prices have more than doubled in the last few years. I’ve always run Castrol 10W-40 4T in my old Hondas. Alternatively, the MotoMaster 10W-40 4T is the same stuff. I buy which ever is on sale at Canadian Tire. Best listing right now is MotoMaster at $11.99/ 946ml. (1 US Quart).

Amazon.ca just dropped the price of Honda GN4 10W-40 by 27% and it works out to $11.75/ 946ml. It comes in 4 US quart jugs. I am paying for “free delivery” so ordered two for today. May have to get a few more…..

Oil and filters are a must have for several changes for years to come ;D

Oil prices have always been very high here in Sweden. Very popular to order car oil from Germany for 1/3 of the price.
25L each time.


If an oil becomes popular the price will increase. Spectro motorcycle oil one example that increased +50% from one year to another.

I bought some US gallons (3.786L) in time 2021 when price was relatively low on Internet here so I still have some.

Same with Eurol Twinlube, low priced oil. Suddenly cost a lot more when I refilled my stash last year with 20L.

Still not near Red Line motorcycle oil price level.
I guess people have found the oils to work well, no need for the very expensive oils $20-25US for a quart.

I prefer to have in stock. Have ca 35-40L for my 2 bikes, 2 changes for my car. All have recently got a change.

Same with oil filters, ordered a pack of 10 from Germany when price was OK, K&N filter. I had some filters left.

Weather too  bad too long now for rides to next oil changes. ;D

I think I am an oil hoarder! ;D
