germanparts.ca, rockauto.com, autopartsway.ca, and the 0w40 A40 spec engine oil from Canadian Tire. Yet to find a source for the C40 spec oil.

From the dealer.
Since the car is still under warranty and I prefer to do everything myself, they have a record of what I bought and when. After the PCA 10% discount the prices are not that far off online places. And no waiting on shipping.
For my other cars, Rockauto.com and Autopartsway.ca and sometimes Amazon.ca

FCP Euro is great and lifetime warranty...yes, even on oil. Only trouble is they are in US so shipping returns back isn’t always practical, particularly fluids that PO considers Dangerous Goods.

I bought my oils from either Canadian Tire when on sale or recently through GermanParts.ca (their Instagram often publishes discount codes.) I don't buy oil from the dealership because it is really expensive.

Consumable maintenance parts - Often the dealer. After factoring USD/CAD conversion, shipping/taxes/duties (luck of the draw) going to the Porsche dealer with my PCA discount more than makes up for the convenience. RockAuto.com often has good prices and selection.

Germanparts.ca sells the C40 spec Liqui Moly.
Also, Total Quartz Ineo FG0 5w40 is now becoming available in Canada.

I typically buy from RockAuto. A couple weeks ago I was looking for Macan PDK fluid and filters. Found StritctlyEuropeanMotors.com online. They sell OEM VW/Audi DSG fluid (for Macan) and Febi filter for very reasonable prices. They also sell Motul and LiquiMoly (I went OE). Shipping was fast and very reasonably priced (if you were in GTA I presume you could pickup). I've never heard of them before but wanted to pass on my positive experience. They appear to be for VW / Audi, but they had the parts I needed at a huge discount from the dealer (of course the Macan shares a lot with Audi).

Ive been finding rock auto delivery charges and delivery times getting crazy. I am doing more ordering from partsavatar these days which is Canadian and free shipping over 75.00

i ordered a boost valve from rock auto on the 25th of Oct and it shows delivery scheduled for 4th of November, used t get it in two days or so.

Everyone is getting hit hard with shipping with fuel prices these days. Have to keep a close eye on that when ordering.

I placed a Rockauto order on the 16th of October which arrived at the door mid day on the 19th - CAD $25 delivery which seemed reasonable ($500 order - timing belt, plugs etc.).

Just bought some Mobil ESP X3 C40 0W40 oil for 992 GT3 at the dealer. Not available elsewhere.

Don't forget your PCA discount.

Oil filter: at the dealer even though I am off warranty.
Oil: at Walmart in the US where it is cheap 24/7/365...I don't have to wait for sales.
Engine lid struts: FCP Euro.

For the older P car: Sunset, Pelican.
