L400 Parts - Cross Referencing part numbers for Napa/Lordco etc?

[breelion]

Hey there!

I'm a new Delica owner (2002 L400 V6) and want to have a few things replaced before I take him out on the road for any kind of long trip! I've been told it's more cost-effective to order your own parts rather than have them sourced by a mechanic? How true is this?

In particular the parts I am after are a new fuel filter, a new engine filter, spark plugs - can any of these be ordered through Lordco/NAPA or should I order them from Coombs or Rising Sun? I am having a hard time figuring out how to cross reference the OEM part numbers with the appropriate aftermarket part numbers - are there good resources/reference lists for this anywhere? (I tried searching the forum first with no luck!)

Cheers

If you're going to order them, you might as well order them directly. I use fitinpart.sg for filters and other wear items - use your VIN number to confirm - fuel / oil filters are about $11-13 each. For "other" parts try partsouq or amayama, again use your VIN number to access the proper ones.

Once you have the part number from partsouq or fitinpart, you can cross reference it with Rockauto, Lordco, or the Mitsubishi dealership. I get my fuel and air filters from Lordco or Rockauto

For Rockauto you will have to click on the "part number search" tab, otherwise it doesn't work
