Yes parts source and Canadian tire are the same just different names. Prices are the same usually.
Oil pans rusting out can happen, but very rarely.
I have had oil pans leak around the gaskets and where they were crushed and leaks from the kinks. Also had them rub through on one car where the cross member was bent causing the steering trailing arm to rub through the pan. Changed cross member and replaced pan. It was on a AMC Hornet.

Ive done some pretty mean 4x4in before and havent even done that! I even took my mustang through a field one time and no dent.
My grand prix used to live in the fields and on the backroads back home, and only one time it broke off the exhaust, but that was ramping over a railroad track

NOT ME I was a good young lad! NOT!
The damage was done before I got the car. It was after a few years figured out the damage and fixed it in the late 80's. That car was a good little wagon. Til we sold it to my ex sister inlaw who did not maintain it or keep it clean. Road salts got a real good hold on it and rusted it out. I got the car back and it sits at the back of my property. Just too bad the rust got it in the main structural point of the car.

I've taken out 2 oil pans already (351W's) lol .... blew the motor in my 1990 f350 crewcab and my 1977 ltd II coupe, ... they dont seem to last long after they start knocking.......
the most damage Ive done to a vehicle would be, in the 84merc station wagon lol.... (TANK lol).... driving through the bush and ripping one of the mufflers off,
hitting that fence lol (it was either the fence or the car in front of me that slammed on his brakes, @$$) didnt even dent my bumper, but I pushed the steel post over,
....or going to my uncles place down about 20km of gravel with a load in the car and weak springs (gas tank bashed up and pouring out, and the muffler that didnt get ripped off in the bush off was smashed to nothing and grinded down from rubbing the road) lol ....
its been places most people wouldnt take their trucks (dried up creek and slough, through a few mud holes, snow banks, ditches, fields etc.. ) I've been stuck with wheels off the ground spinning free,... snapped a tow rope pulling it out......... the joy of having a $300 vehicle ..... .... sold it for $550 haha
it was a nice car at first,... then some girls (sisters I think) were fighting at the local Robins donuts and I pulled up in the wrong parking stall, they knocked my rust out
there was a hole afterwards

Wow that car has been through alot! Reminds me of my grand prix too. I forget what I bought it for, threw a 350 in it, drove it hard till it died, sold the engine and tranny, and still have the car!
