Question for Canadian while I’m visiting Canada

[MetalSlug]

First of all beautiful country !! I love all the Trees change color , this my third time visit Canada in 1 and half year.

Is there an oil filter that only able to get in Canada ? I would like bring something back that cars relate that America does not sell .

I am in Ontario York dale area .

You could go into a PartSource location and grab a Pro Series OE+ filter. These are made by PG so they are the same as the Carquest Premium, NAPA Gold, etc.

That being said, there are a lot of Carquest locations in Ontario and they sell the Premium for less than the OE+

This.

I doubt you will find much different. The US / Canadian Auto supply chain is so intertwined. I wouldn't count a Chinese PG oil filter as unique. If you want a non-unique "unique" filter get a "Motomaster" one. No idea who makes them, but Canadian Tire is distinctively Canadian.

Thread 'MotoMaster Oil Filter, now PG made?'

May 20, 2025

Historically these basic Motomaster filters from Canadian Tire are a basic Fram/Champ painted a different color, most all the spin on ones hail from the USA. Recently they're sporting different boxes, made in China now. Same price, $7.50 CAD

Look similar to the PG filters, my uneducated guess is that they're from Gki, a Canadian company that peddles these import filters. I'm curious as to if this will stick, and figure you all here on BITOG might find it interesting.

If they are premium guard, that makes pretty much every jobber type filter made by them. Kinda cool. Pictures below...

Is this right ? It’s for my 2003 mustang cobra . I don’t plan to use it. It’s just for something I bring back to USA and leave it on the shelves

 

[MetalSlug]

Anything else I should get that cars relate for souvenir purpose . That USA doesn’t carry .

 

[GSCJR]

SuperTech 5w-40 is not available in the US, to go with that filter; if you're not flying.

If you are flying from YYZ, I work 10 minutes from there.

I’m flying from Dallas Tx to YYZ. So no liquid . About to head out to part source.

Put it on your floor jack? You can buy hockey pucks year round at Canadian tire.
Canadian tire used to have more auto products with their logo on them, oil, filters, but now their house brands don't use the logo anymore.

One thing I note is 80% vehicles here is having logo AWD,4x4 or some kind of four wheel drive lol. I seen a lot Toyota RAV4 and Honda

Yes, it snows here. RAV4 and CR-V are made here in Ontario.

You're visiting another country and your goal is to bring back an oil filter?

This is the most BITOG thing I've heard in awhile.

First thought was of "Heavy Duty - Great White North-" Winter wiper blades, but then I saw you just wanted the Canadian item for shelf display.
Wiper blades lying on a shelf wouldn't be too decorative.

Perhaps an older can of Canadian oil would read better as a unique thing than an oil filter could.
Might you find an enameled "tin" sign from the Canadian auto market? ....not just another Ford/Chevy/Mopar one.

Ha...Years ago I visited a friend in Sweden who owned a Buick. I brought him a Hastings oil filter.
This was back when the large nut was welded on the can.

That was before they were branded Ultra. Double layer synthetic media and wire backed. Very nice filters.

Make me happy to bring back stuff American don’t have , mostly cars relate

It sounds like a novelty idea to get something we don't have. I'd be sure to check Canadian Tire and look at the various products. I used to get a kick that a person could get their car fixed, buy a trash can, then pick up a hockey stick and toddler size 10 ice skates.

Other than a hockey store, we'd likely have to order overpriced non official pucks on amazon, while up there they're a dime a dozen (well maybe $12/dozen).
