Not sure where JMT is, but you can get it from Don at PDM in Burnaby, Justin (SK on this forum), I assume AJR, or Tung Fat auto in Coquitlam.
For the good stuff, you are looking at $16 a quart, but it is cheaper to get it from the barrel.

Some good info so far! It will be interesting to see mavm86's oil analysis results!
Vic, You changed over to Motul at the last Maintenance "meat"
Probably not the 300V though (I guess SK can confirm this), did you notice any increase in fuel economy?

Owen, On the Stonehenge trip, how many Kms and how much gas did you fill up after we made our Shell Pitstop?

Didn't notice any mileage gain. My fuel gauge seems messed up after suspension install. Sometimes the fuel gauge bar charges to full like a battery, then after while drops back to where it's supposed to be. Damn for a second I thought my gasoline was recharging. What a happy sight in a time of rising gas.
