Mazdatrix appears to ship to Canada, but the shipping costs seem pretty horrendous. Cheapest option is $105USD for $80USD of oil. After exchange rate I'm looking at $240CAD for 12QT + possibly some duties and taxes? Yuck.

never give up
I wouldn't get stuck on the brand, especially with the shipping costs you mention. I use amsoil products, I can get them easily (though there are fake amsoil products where I live). If you have access to a quality premix solution, use that. All the branded products claim to use cleaning and lubricating agents in their solutions, don't think idemitsu is some kind of unicorn. My 2 cents.

Just spoke to a guy at mazmart who owns several RX7's. He uses Redline racing oil for premix. He said it has zinc in it which helps coat the housing. Figured I'd add some more info into the equation. He said it has TCW3 in it.

Help me pretty please!!
I was pulling into my driveway and my car just shut off and when I tried to start her back up nothing happened no lights on or nothing
I was thinking battery issues so I try to start the next morning from booster cables and still nothing ai I buy a new battery and the lights and everything came back in but the car still won't start
So far I've replace coil pack,wires,sparks,battery,alternator,crank sensor,o2 sensor,starter,terminals,ignition switch and relay I've even replaced my intake because I hear pumping noise from my intake when I try to deflood
when I crank her now it sound like it wants to start but doesn't

Noticed lately that Canadian Tire carries JASO FD/FC rated 2-cycle oil under it's Motomaster house brand. Comes in semi-synth and convention versions. A tad cheaper than Lucas and Mystik.
