No idea, but shipping oil is a real pain in the ***, plus import fees really jacks up the price.

Use Reg and change often. Synthetic does not lower the wear on the engine.

all in all its a matter of personal preference. . .all that matters is that regardless of what oil you choose, the you make sure that it stays in the engine and that you change it often enough to keep from ****in up your engine. . . period

Many shipping services don't like liquids. You can imagine the potential for disaster if the box gets dropped too hard.

The first thing the Post Office asks is "Does this have anything liquid, fragile, or potentially harmful?"
