Idemitsu Engine Oil in Canada
Idemitsu is the Japanese lubricant house behind more factory-fill engine oils than most owners realize — a century-old refiner whose oils are engineered with the Japanese and European manufacturers, and whose IFG (Idemitsu Fuel Great) line brings that factory-fill pedigree to the aftermarket bottle. The IFG 3 0W-20 is the relevant oil here: a full-synthetic 0W-20 for the modern generation of engines that specify it — including the VW 508.00/509.00 applications in the MK8-era fleet.
Our idemitsu range is the smallest in this wave — 2 products — and its 24-month record is 9 five-quart jugs of IFG 3 0W-20 across 6 orders. That's the honest scale: a niche, spec-driven line for owners who want this particular oil for their 0W-20 car and prefer to buy it in Canada, in CAD, from the store that services the rest of their maintenance list. Small shelf, specific purpose.
Buying Idemitsu in Canada.
Oil is heavy and cheap per litre — the worst cross-border math in the catalog, which is why spec oils like this get bought domestically. WCT carries idemitsu priced in Canadian dollars, shipped from within Canada, with free shipping on most orders over $399 (oil usually rides with filters or a service kit) — and GTA pickup at Unit 5, 151 Amber St, Markham once the ready-for-pickup email lands; delivery typically 1 business day in the GTA, 1 to Quebec, 2–3 to Alberta, 3–4 to BC. The one rule with 0W-20: confirm your car actually specifies it (508.00/509.00 cars) before ordering — ask us at 905-604-7077 or sales@wctperformance.ca. Rated 4.9 stars from 427 Google reviews.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which cars take IFG 3 0W-20?
A: Cars specifying a 0W-20 meeting VW 508.00/509.00 — chiefly the MK8-generation GTI/Golf R era and late MK7.5 applications. If your filler cap or manual says 502 or 504, this isn't your oil; we'll point you to the right spec.
Q: Idemitsu or the European brands for my oil service?
A: Spec first, brand second — the approval on the bottle must match your car's requirement. Within the correct spec, Idemitsu's factory-fill heritage is a legitimate reason owners choose it. Our oil service kits cover the Liqui Moly and Motul equivalents if you want the done-for-you route.
Q: How much oil does my change take?
A: Most of these engines take roughly 5–6 litres with a filter — one 5-quart jug plus a top-up, or we'll calculate it exactly for your car when you order.
