You can only get certain things at Walmart. Back when I used wix I would buy a dozen and it was way cheaper than anywhere else. But as mentioned you can oftn toss then on an existing order for free.

Don’t be surprised if your Wix Gold shows up NOT “Made in the USA”-Mann has been shipping production to Mexico (generally bad) & China!
Here is the centerfold for the first issue. Checkout the silicone on that pair!
Looks like hot Asian specimens to me!
I treat this forum like a tech magazine^^^ "Oil Filter Monthly" ... keeping the oil filter connoisseur up to date on the latest oil filter news.Complete with the monthly centerfold ... but most would only look at the photos and not read the articles.
Getting parts from the same warehouse is much cheaper than having multiple warehouses, but adding more items from the same one still can increase the shipping cost.

LOL, I got another good one.
Checking the integrity of your filter's louvers. A guide to quality control.
True, but not by much usually. Throwing some oil filters, Cabin Air filter, etc. may cause it to go up, but not by much. I went and looked at my last order and adding 4 oil filters and a cabin air filter was an extra $1.00. It can vary I'm sure, but this is by far the best way to do it.
Is that underwire-backed media?
Silicone requires no under wire. So I am told.
Just because I am a geek and can't let it go, queue J. Geils Band:

Yeah its from a Donaldson P551132, cut one new sample open a few months ago here. I have like 9 of these with some Fleetguard LF16011 to vet someday on my car even though they're meant for diesel engines. Out of all the manufacturers products I seen, the Donaldson filter center tube louvers are deeply formed and open compared to the FRAM, Fleetguard and Purolator filters I have on hand. All 9 of the Donaldson are well formed where as the other brands mentioned have varied louver quality being Fram (endurance) and Fleetguard being the worst offender of louver shape variation that I ended up using a sharp flat head screw driver to pry them open.

Because you gotta buy other stuff with it, then its value. I wouldn't order it alone, lol.

Say you wanted Wix XP. Like I do. When I buy parts at rock, I will see if I can get filters included under the $12.99 I’m already spending on the parts that I ordered. Last time I could get 5. If I tried 6 it changed and shipping changed. That’s the value.

Yeah it’s like bundling. Sometimes yes it can get frustrating. For example, I got hood struts for the Lexus, $9. On Amazon the identical part was $28????? So they was savings even when paying for shipping. But there was NO way to get the trunk struts for the same shipping. It depends on what supplier is going to fulfill. But since they oversimplify it for is, there are letters representing warehouses, A, B, C etc
So again I keep adding items I know I’ll need until the initial shipping almost doubles. I back out the item that caused it…

There's no savings for me either. I'll support local stores and Amazon.

Me too. Prime is $139 which is a rip off. At least I own the stock, which at one point did well. Not last few years. They need our help.
