Interesting. I wonder if that will open up the sources we can get the 10w60 from? If so, competition is always good for consumers, relating to price.

There's as good or better oils out there for our cars. I suspect Castrol (Wakefield Canada) will be able to mass market the TWS once the deal is over the exclusivity should end. I'll find out. Speaking with a Lucas rep this week at a trade show he offered me the Lucas product ongoing for "testing". I'm using Red Line right now. Has anyone here used Lucas for any duration?

We'll I guess it comes down to is it class 3 oil or class4 oil. Except highly refined C3 (dyno) oil can wear the "synthetic" label. 0nly C4 oil is truely "synthetic".

Do you really know what is in your engine!
