Just wanted to point out that Partsource is having some pretty decent deals...What I bought today...1. Silverstar: 15% off. The 9003s are $28.00 + tax before discount2. Mobil1 Oil, 4.4 L + 1L bonus is $30.15 ( with the 15% discount )this works out to be $5.66/L.here's the flyer in PDF format, prices are good for the whole month of November.http://www.partsource.ca/_pdf/flyer.pdf

With the extra litre thrown in that's a pretty good deal. The Silverstar's are still double the price you can get them for in the USA.

Be aware though that Mobil (and most other oil manufacturers) are now putting out "Katrina" formulations, that are NOT API certified. You'll note they don't have the starburst on them, and don't say certified - they might not even have the rating, though most are still rated at SL or SM.They still stand behind the new formulations, but API certification can take months....

On Mobil1 note.. if any of your are near the Great Candian Superstore they have 4.4L + 1 L for $29.32.. which is the best deal I have ever seen on Synthetic Mobil 1.. and you don't need a discount or a membership to get that price.. cheers & Happy Oil Changing Martin

Here is a pic of the starburst (on left) and "doughnut" labels.The starburst is usually on the front of the oil bottle, the doughnut on the back.
