As a Canadian I'm always on the lookout for MMO here but so far have not found any Canada or at least not on the West Coast. My treasured supply comes from cross boarder shopping at Walmart in the US

Sorry to be a bearer of bad news......MMO is not available anywhere in Canada, at least not in Southern Ontario.

I saw it in Dartmouth NS...Part Source. Part Source is owned by Canadian Tire. A few years back they bought up a few small auto parts places and started Part Source because the competition was tough....funny how that works. Now there are even more parts places here as more opened up.

Anyway, Part Source had it in a 1 litre (quart) plastic jug. I don't use it so didn't bother picking one up. So if there's an outlet around there might want to give them a call.

I have tried Ctire, parts source, napa, and others and had no luck in finding it up here. Maybe down towards London or Windsor you might find it, but as other as have said I get it from the odd trip across the border to Buffalo.

Walmart carries it in Newfoundland, or at least they did as of a few months ago. I would be surprised if this was just a local thing.

MMO close to Transmission Fluid

Is MMO pretty close to automatic transmission fluid? Would ATF work just as well as a top end oil? and keep valves from sticking?

No, MMO is not the same as Trans fluid.

Bob,
I am located near Cobourg about 45 mins East of you, our local Tru Value is in Grafton. The lady is ordering 6 bottles just so they can stock a few. I will let you know when I have it in hand.

later, Chapster5

MMO in Canada Eh?

Wal Mart Super Centers carry it in S/W Ontario
If you quote the product number in the picture, I'm sure most can order it.
( not a fan of the company, but sometimes you gotta hold your nose, and do what's right by yourself, and A4)

Cheers,
Jimmy

I am with you on the Wally World, I am also not a big fan but sometimes they are the only choice ( they have done a good job of driving out other business ).

Anyways I stopped at Walmart in Belleville yesterday and they had lots of Marvel on the shelf, so I picked myself up a few

thanks, Chapster5
