parts sources in canada

[bizkit]

Well I'm a new owner of a Ty and am learning the ropes as to where to get the best parts for our trucks. Recently Can Tire had Motomaster Formula 1 synthetic oil on sale (4.4L for $20) so I bought a couple jugs (I spend a lot of time in Can tire as it's the biggest auto parts store in town). It's a lot cheaper ($25) than say Mobil 1 or Quaker State ($35) but it still meets the same O.E.M. specifications so it should be just as good right? Also for a cap and rotor I keep reading how Conrad is the best brand to get but I've never seen it anywhere, so where would I find it or what brand do you substitute?

If you need a front bumper I am selling mine and going back to a stock smoothie. Other than that I am not of much help.

Please tell me you are joking...
Using Crappy tire oil is like substituting urine for apple juice. It may look the same, but.....

You could afford the truck, you should be able to afford to maintain it properly.

Tony put a lot of hours into 777, take care of it properly.

sorrrry of course I intend to take care of it properly. I waited 5 years to buy a Ty so I could buy a house and have a nice warm garage to park it in all winter. I take pride in my vehicles. I have just never read anything saying how different brands of oil differ from one another and I've never run synthetic oil in any of my cars before. I did go out of my way to find some WIX filters for the Ty....

Re: parts sources in canada

Please use mobil oil, it is a better oil no matter what the label says. We use it in all our race engines and it is the best. The cap and rotor that are easy to get in your area would be the blue streak line and the part #'s are: DR323X (rotor) DR460X (cap) The X in the part number signifies the better quality non-alkali cap and brass contacts. This is what we have use here for ever.
