Hi Volks,


Just before EveryBus I did an oil change on the westfakia.


The local Canadian Tire store had Castrol 20W50 was $CDN 12.79 for a
gallon (3.8 liters)


In one liter bottles it was only $CDN 2.99.


Doing the mat tells me that buying the one-gallon bottle cost an extra
$CDN 0.25/liter.  Amazing.


Happy trails,


Greg Potts
