Time to stock up on filters

[Light in the Dark]

Tariffs have been causing filter prices to go up and up. Just got a notification from Fleet Filter:

Compare to Rockauto for small orders before you buy. I bought 4 each Wix 51374 oil filters from Rockauto yesterday for $26.77 (includes VA sales tax). Same order from Fleet shows as $31.64 today. Difference is cost of shipping: RA 5.99 vs FF 13.99. I suspect the sweet spot for FleetFilter will be an order of around $75-$100 or so. Just need to compare.......

Thanks for the heads up LITD!

I just ordered the following filters from RockAuto for MEP-002a/003a to even out my filter stock so I'm stocked for a while for 3 gensets. Shipping was $7.99 until I ordered some of the filters that had to come from a different warehouse causing another $7.99 shipping charge to kick in. So I added in 3 of the big air filters and the shipping remained at $15.98.

MEP-002/003a Oil, Fuel, Air equivalent to OEM filter #'s spec'd

Copied from RockAuto ck out for comparison purposes:

WIX 51004 Oil Filter $ 7.63 X 9 $ 68.67
WIX 33113 Fuel Filter $ 6.22 X 4 $ 24.88
WIX 42222 Air Filter $ 17.55 X 3 $ 52.65
Shipping Ground $ 15.98
Order Total** $ 162.18

** No Oregon Sales Tax
