While that may be possible, I don’t think it’s practical. With the weight of oil, the cost of shipping to Canada and brokerage fees, I’m sure I’d be looking at an additional cost of $100. I’m also not sure I buy in to the seriousness of the zinc issue in our engines. I remember reading one person’s opinion early last year that while this could be an issue with pushrod engines, it wasn’t an issue with OHC engines. I may be sorry in 20 years if I’m still around, but for now I’m not going to worry about it.
