Last year I picked up 6 jugs of synthetic oil at Canadian Tire for $14.50 a jug. keep your eye out for the deals and you can get better prices than regular oil.
I was told that in Canada we are getting a lot of synthetic oil at lower prices than the US because of the Tar sands oil. It is hard to refine but yeilds a higher quantity of synthetic oil stock.
BTW - Synthetic oil is made with crude oils, the oil is refined and then the super slippery more stable oil is super refined to make synthetic motor oils. There are aviation grade synthetics that are not made or only partialy made with crude oil.
