Motul Liquid Gold.

I just bought 5 liters of Motul 8100 X-Lite 0W-30 and got charged 92$ tax included

Canadian pricing still sucks balls I guess. Jet, if you know where to get this stuff cheaper in Montreal, I'm all ears. I got it at RMR in St-Laurent.

damn, you got owned...shouldve gone with amsoil.

**mxrz** · 07-15-2008 01:23 PM

I like to stick with Motul for everything (motor oil, gear oil, coolant, brake fluid) and the occasional fuel injection and engine cleaners... It's damn good stuff.

**n7plus1** · 07-15-2008 01:25 PM

understood, im the same way with amsoil.

damn that is a high price. I only payed $~70 tax included for the same quantity of the 300V Motul. Canadian prices FTL

300V for 20$ less? Dammit, I should really shop around next time. I wasn't planning to do an oil change today, so I was kinda in a hurry to get some oil. I wanted to find all the resellers in my area, but Motul's Canadian website doesn't list dealers in Quebec

so I got it at the only place I knew for sure they had stock... Ah well.

found it by searching google. on the 1st or 2nd page. $25 for a 2L can. You still get charged for import fee's into Canada? I always hated trying to ship stuff to Canada...

everyone has their opinion on whats good or not, and i think motul makes some pretty good stuff... but isn't that a lil thin for a turbo, esp if you have any mods.

i can see 0-30 in the 3.0, 3.2, I use 5-30 in my 3.0, and in canada would use 0-30, but anything with a turbo and the heat I would think the 0-30 would be a bit thin.

and yeah, pricing in the states is much better.

It's 502/503/505 approved, and this is Canada, I also make a lot of short trips, sometimes not having the time to let the motor warm up properly. I only have a stage 1 unitronic flash with an upgraded SMIC and louvers in the wheel well that increase air flow through the intercooler. But I don't drive this car VERY hard, I have another car and a whole bunch of motorcycles for that

Is 8100-Xlite a groupV ester oil? I buy 5L of Motul 8100-Xcess (group IV) for $48 each, got 2 cases at RMR. $92 is damn expensive...

BTW I go to New Jersey quite often, so If you want me to bring you back a case just let me know. I'm sure It's at least half price in the States...F%$*# Quebec

It's a mix of group IV and V. Check out Jet's post, lots of other info there: http://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php?t=113743

Yeah, the X-Cess is group IV PAO, cheaper than the E-Tech ester oils, but still very good. The X-Lite should be something like 65$ at most. I think I'm gonna return this to RMR, I decided not to do the oil change yet. It's not that I care so much about the 30~40$, it's the principal, this price is MSRP from the days when the CAD was worth 0.65 USD.

Is there anyplace in Canada that will sell fluids by mail order? My local indy shop will sell me ELF 5w40 for $40/gallon, but it'd be nice to get a better deal on full synthetic 502.00 spec.
