$45-50. It's a hydrocracked synthetic though. If you are after a true synthetic, you'll have to get the castrol Edge 0w-40 instead and that's $70 at retail price.

Yup, 5 at -18ºC and 30 at 100ºC. Last time when I was at Wakie, I used the 0w-40 and it was good.

Also, 0 and 5 are the same viscosity, except that 0 flows at up to 10ºC lower than 5.
