0-20 synthetic castrol on sale at Canadian tire. 5 litres for $29.99

I know this is kind of a commercial post but you don't see this energy saving grade on sale very often

I have nothing to do with Can. tire other than I'm Canadian.

Woah...that's cheap. I am thinking of making the jump to synthetic more for the extended oil drain intervals than the energy savings.

Maybe you don't see it that often, as few cars run it ?

0W20 is very rare out here.
