I would bet from a process perspective, it is probably cheaper for Amazon to just pick ship the oils at risk than it is to have somebody double check caps, bag and safety tape them. That is the downside of extreme automation.

Looks good. Better than a Motorcraft FL-820S any day of the week.

Most of that is due to that particular stores manager. The individual store managers have a lot of control most times in how things are clearance out and at what pricing. That is why most times when someone here posts about a particular store clearance, it does not really translate to most...

Loosely the Magnuson Moss Warranty Act has that kind of language. The reality is that they do not use terms like "required" but "recommend" fluids meeting their spec instead and with additional language in the warranty terms that failures arising from use of non recommended fluids not meeting...

Her father started the company and what family own business is not nepotistic? Anybody that has work as a non family member in a family owned business and has done a reality gut check with themselves, knows that is the way it rolls. I worked years ago in a family owned aviation supply company...

Necro bumping this a bit but would put in my 2 cents in that on my wife's Bronco Sport, at 15K mi, replaced the RDU fluid with the correct Motorcraft XY-75W-QL fluid which I had no problem when I originally bought at $28 a quart. About 3 months ago at the 30K mi service, the Motorcraft...

I cannot see the Purolator Golds being a long term direct replacement for the FRAM Extra Guard PH series of filters. I am betting that is a stop gap until they can do a complete reset with the standard Purolator red and maybe Purolator One filters to have a good, better, best line like they did...

Thanks for the suggestion. FWIW, I got notification this morning that my last two on order was damaged in shipping and was being returned. It allowed me to reorder two more at the coupon price. I am fine with that.

****, Amazon will not let me order any more saying I have reached my quantity limit from prior sales. :(

This weeks haul. Mix of AutoZone clearance and Amazon deal pricing.

At least for the last 8+ years I know of. Do not not know what to tell you about what you bought just that they can be stiff and notchy sometimes. Not a defect if center cage spins and is preferred.

The MOPAR MO-349 oil filter starting with REV AB and subsequent had the center cage spinning free of the outer media shell. Suppose to help with preventing twisting of the media when installing. Some of the aftermarket, especially WIX and a few others when they copied and made their own cross...

Over the last couple of days, I have put in orders across 4 different AutoZone's near me that showed at most 1 or 2 in stock. I half way expected them to be out of stock and would normally expect a quick cancellation like I usually get with online Advance Auto Parts. Only one of the three...

When the minimum cost of entry is just a cell phone that takes video, it is going to attract a lot of self proclaimed Rocket Surgeons to have a voice.

Yeah, would have to be volume but also commercial shipping accounts can be 50% less of what most normal consumers would pay to ship. I do not know their math and just because we cannot understand it, I would not say they are being fraudulent like triangulation fraud. As someone else mentioned...
