Yes, @germanparts.ca, I just don't know much of this oil, it's probably more known in Europe, this is a local supplier and price is not bad at all $50/5 liter jug, canadian dollars.I'm committed to Total through a group buy I did a few years ago - but have you secured a Canadian supplier for Fuchs?

The group buy I worked out for Total Quartz came to CAN$44.35 / 5L, including HST and Ontario environment fee. But that was in September of 2013.Yes, @germanparts.ca, I just don't know much of this oil, it's probably more known in Europe, this is a local supplier and price is not bad at all $50/5 liter jug, canadian dollars.

I bought a ton of it at the time of the group buy - and one of the buyers had to back out at the last minute after I had taken delivery - so I'm set for quite a while. Don't think I'll be shopping for oil until sometime in the next decade.Not bad, how much you pay now for your Total Quartz?

At the time the Total product was the best dexos2 registered oil I could source in the 5W30 viscosity. I'd argue that's still the case today in 2016.

Thanks, any ideas about Fuchs?, there are not much reviews on the net.I bought a ton of it at the time of the group buy - and one of the buyers had to back out at the last minute after I had taken delivery - so I'm set for quite a while.

Well it's: 1) a dexos2 registered oil; and, 2) in the correct 5W30 viscosity. So it has two of my critical elements.Thanks, any ideas about Fuchs?, there are not much reviews on the net.

But my third critical element is: 3) full synthetic. I checked the Fuchs webpage and could not find reference to this particular Fuchs oil being full synthetic.
So from that point of view I would see it as comparable to the dexos2 oil sold at the dealer's parts counter. It's going to be a good oil. Work well within normal operating parameters and strictly following the oil change monitor.
What the Fuchs dexos2?
I use it and had no issues bought 3 of them 1 down and getting to the 2nd shortly. It is a full syn did my research before purchasing the 3 jugs does say full syn
and extended change interval. I found the info on there website.
I myself prefer Scheaffers Oil made in St Louis Mo they do not make an ACEA 3 spec yet cannot wait till they do. 5w40 full syn has been used in my 7.3l powerstoke for 7 years now at 10000 to 12000 mile changes. I also use there oil analysis at every oil change.
Did have the gm dexos 2 tested and after 6000 miles it still was in spec to go a little further
and extended change interval. I found the info on there website.
