Stopped by my Walmart today to pick up a 820S and price has gone from 3.69 to 5.69. Anyone else run into this? I even checked with store clerk to make sure it was right and it was. Two buck increase.

Oh my word that is a huge increase.
 
Youch!

Wonder if the price went up at Advance? I had to buy them from Advance once or twice because local Walmarts stopped carrying Motorcraft filters.
 
Just checked and they're still $3.69 at AZ. Also $3.69 at PB and AAP.

For what you get in terms of materials, $3-$4 for a spin on filter was cheap.

The extended drains on recent Fords has probably reduced their volume so price goes up to compensate.

Used filter waste disposal is a problem. Higher prices may reduce usage.

They still do price matching don't they? Just mention the Advance price.
 
Was just at my local Wally's last night...still $3.97 for most of them, but I did notice they've started carrying the FL500S and it was priced at $5.97. Maybe that's what the OP saw...
 
IIRC, my local WM had a few filters that were a bit over $3.97, but I don't remember the 820s being one of them. Dang.

Same here.
 
At 3 bucks and change an FL-1A is nearly a steal. At 6 bucks not even necessarily the best choice.

Motorcrafts have been extremely popular here on BITOG, but if they all go up that high I suspect their use will decline significantly by your typical DIY'er.
 
I have 10 on the shelf now. Some were $2.58, some were $2.26 depending on the discount code from advance. I wont be needing any for a year and a half or so. If the price goes up to high I might have to switch to a Fram TG or maybe a wix. The Wix can be had for about $5 shipped from fleet filter.
 
the 820-s and the 910s seem to be in high demand at my local walmart.

i went there about a week and half ago and they were all gone, when got some in i bought one of each and i was there earlier tonite and all the 820s were gone except i found one pushed back behind the 500s so i bought it in case the price goes up.

Same at my local store. They had 3 FL-400s on the shelf. I took them all..

Checked the Motorcraft prices at a Walmart here in Tucson.

Sure enought the FL-500's are $5.97, the FL-400s, 820s and 920s are all still $3.97.
