Local retail stores oil filter price comparison

What's Scotty say? What brand(s) does your Dad use?

Anything but Fram lol. I think it was 540Rat and NIA that told him they were bad.

Dad seen some videos on YouTube about them rusting on the inside. I told him everything on YouTube isn’t necessarily reputable or true and then he insisted it was true because multiple people posted videos about it. So he won’t let me buy Fram for any of our cars. I typically don’t pay for the oil and filters so I let him get what he wants.

If it's on YouTube it's real!

LoL ... well, if you had him see some of the problems with filters posted in this forum over the years, he wouldn't want to use any oil filters.

I'm not too picky about oil filters for my 03 Accord (239,000 mi.) OCI of 5000 mi. usually. The Fram PH7317 is used sometimes and available within 2 mi. of me at Home Depot $4.48, Lowes $3.98, Walmart $3.88, and Autozone $8.99. That's a big price spread.
Anyone else notice such a wide price range on identical brand/model number oil filters in their area?

Holy s**t!! An Orange Can of Deliciousness costs 9 bones at Auto Zone??

Just got my most recent requisition of a dozen Motorcraft 820S which was ~$4 per can delivered from Amazon.

I buy consumables in bulk from from RockAuto. Brakes, wipers, filters, etc. I love me some wholesaler closeout.

This thread really hit home for me — I've noticed the same crazy price differences around here too!
It’s wild how the exact same oil filter can be almost double the price depending on where you shop.
Like others mentioned, I usually just grab a few when I catch a good sale at Walmart or Amazon, and sometimes even the local parts store if they have rebates going on.
Buying in bulk when prices dip seems to be the way to go — not just for filters, but for oil and other maintenance stuff too.

Doubt many of them are made the same as when this thread first started on this site …
