I know a lot of us here drive with different preferences in oil, filters, tires, and fuel so am curious to see what that is for everyone. Car: 1999 Honda Passport (rebadged Isuzu Rodeo) Oil: Castrol 10W30. I prefer coventional oil in 4x4s. Filters: WIX. I find them decent material for the price Tires: Toyo Open Country A/T. Decent tires for the price. I tried some Bridgestone Duellers for a bit and in less than a year they went bald. Fuel: Regular for communting, plus for road trips.

ok, anyways, ultramar in montreal sells gas brewed by petro can. Esso and Shell both come from the shell refinery, but both refineries pool thier production anyway so even though petro can't has a refinery you may be getting shell gas anyways. the octane boost to 93-94 is an additive added at the ramp anyways

well the funniest, my friend works at a large self serve that for years was an esso, the truck would fill the tanks at petro can across the street then come to them. when they rebranded shell, same truck! so the truck would deliver to shell and petro can... they each have a refinery in montreal though lol. now northern new york, all gas brewed here in montreal as well, you see the trucks from arnolds oil heading south, and eastern ontario the number of mcewan trucks on the 40...

93 Chevy Caprice Classic Oil: Wal-Mart Super Tech 5w30 (which is just rebottled Mobil oil in the eastern US, I'm not a Wally World whore but I'll buy this stuff...) or Castrol/Mobil if they are on sale. Filters: AC Delco, Wix, Purolator, Champion labs Plugs: Delco Wires: Some kind of Carquest wires that were on it when I bought it Tires: 4 Dunlop SP60 215/75/15 whitewalls for the snow...these are THE BEST all-season tire you can get, and they aren't expensive. Also made in the US. Summer tires will be on some Impala SS wheels I have, haven't bought them yet but they will be 255/50/17. Fuel: 87 octane, could care less of the brand but generally avoid stations that look like the gas will have sand and water in it. This car isn't a crapcan but it is a daily driver. Fuel additive: Super Tech TCW-3 Marine 2-stroke oil, 1oz per 5 gallons at fillup. 1974 Chevy Impala Oil: Same Wal-mart oil but 10w30. Filters: Same. Plugs: Same. Wires: Napa Belden. Tires: 4 BFG Radial T/A 255/60/15. Fuel: 93 Octane, I add the TCW3 to this as well. 1993 Chevy Blazer Oil: Same as above Filter: AC Delco PF52, K&N open element air cleaner. Plugs: AC Delco Wires: Napa Belden. Had Delcos, they are now made in China for some reason. Also had MSD and they are the worst set of ignition wires I've ever had to deal with, don't buy them. Tires: 285/75/16 BFG All Terrain T/A on the stock 16" wheels, and 265/65/18 Bridgestone Dueler AT RH-S on factory 2009 Chevy Tahoe Z71 wheels (new-take-off set that I grabbed...) Fuel: Same as above.

Yeah, its provided by a jobber. Portland has a Chevron Plant which I know all the Shell stations here get supplied by, but they have Shell trucks do the delivery.

locally most stations here of any brand get filled by trucks from harmac/seaboard
