| So I stopped by our local NAPA dealer for an oil filter for our little SAME mowing tractor, with a fairly common Mitsubishi 4 cyl diesel. $60!!. I went to another auto store, and they quoted $57, but none were in stock. I change the oil twice a year on the tractor with few hours, so I figure leaving the old oil filter on for another season with fresh oil won't do any harm. This is just a common Wix or Fram part number - nothing special. Anybody else running into weird prices like this for common items? |

with a fairly common Mitsubishi 4 cyl diesel. i see some sites that list the $60. filter... and others that show a $20. for the same engine ( different filter number) , possibly in a different application... wonder WHY ??? Maybe look at a cross reference charge ? Different access on YOUR engine ?? ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

Service at my local NAPA store kind of come and goes as ownership seems to change every few years. The good part is that I got an account a way long time ago, and they and Farm Bureau had joint promotion. It seems year later if charge it to the account there is a very good discount on most items. NAPA also has special sales on filters once or even twice a year. But they may not advertise them very much, you need to find more than the average counter jockey and find out when. Then make your list of filters and be ready when it happens.
