Oil filters on the cheap !

Rock auto has serious discounts on oil filters. $1.25 each. Various brands. Not recommending any brands, not discussing 1 brand over the other. But I'm sure they are all fine. enjoy.

Rockauto's shipping is not particularly competitive. And really - do you trust your engine to the lowest bidder on oil filter production?

Re: Oil filters on the cheap !

Well that dirt cheap oil filter is a Fram. I wouldn't put one of those on an engine if it was free. I'd rather spend the extra money on a WIX filter.

I swore off RockAuto a couple years ago after getting screwed one time too many. Sleazy company with no customer service and stick it to the customer when they mess up your order. They need to just go completely out of business.

Re: Oil filters on the cheap !

The amount of motors that need a PF25 filter is probably very few these days. No other reason they are on close out. I just noticed the PF25/35 is still available from GM as a repro, or classic.
