Your based in Winnipeg - do you have any Ontario info on where this product can be found? Quite frankly, I've hunted around and have never seen it in the larger jugs. It's a moot point anyway for me because I changed to 5W40 upon Brent Hunters advice anyway and that product IS available in the larger jugs.

My theory is that Porsche introduced 0-40 to hide the lifter noise.

Don't know about the thin stuff but I get my M1 V Twin 20w50 quarts on sale at Autozone (USA) for 1/2 the CT price. Don't care what it comes in. Check your car's home thread and the US guys will advise you where you can get it and alert you to sales.
