it's just unfortunate that prices here in canada just does not justify it, compared to prices in the U.S. could be due to duties/higher taxes/bigger market volume etc.. and all the crap that goes with it.. you just have to do a lot of research, and sometimes will just have to swallow the cost here. Unless you have a way of ordering through the numerous parts/dealers in the States and have an address in the U.S. that you can go and pick it up yourself.. otherwise you will be killed with all kinds of duties and taxes that would not make it worthwhile..
watch out sales at PartSource(Canadian Tire) for Mobil 1 (0-40w).. Walmart does not carry this oil weight when they have a sale.. for oil filters there are no other way but the dealer..
hope this helps.
