Don't bother. They've always been $2.07 for as long as I can remember. There's no reason to think that they'll change soon ..at least to any substantial price change.
I always pick up at least one when I go to Wally World.
Yeah, they've always been 2.07 but they're not always in stock (someimes 3 weeks at a time) so at ~2 bucks a piece...not a bad idea to have a small stash so they're always available and you don't have to wait in those long lines.
So I was probably getting excited for nothing....I didn't remember them being that cheap.
The wife was with me when I bought them, so I opened up a box and showed her one. She said "That looks like a well made oil filter". (Like she would even know what it was if not for the print on the box.....
) But they did look good, with clean edges, slick paint, smooth crimps, etc. By comparison, the Purolators and Phrams look kinda rough.....
I noticed that they have new packaging. They also seemed to have more on the shelf because there had been a while where I didn't even see the ones I've been needing.
The store I was in had Phrams on the entire length of the shelf, except for about 3 feet on the very end. I almost walked by without seeing the SuperTechs.
I guess it must be up to the section manager, as to how much shelf space is alloted to each brand.....?
They are hard to find because the oil change techs come in and get them off the shelfs for oil changes. Two of them did it while I was getting Motrocraft oil & filters monday. Monday is not a good day to go oil & filter shopping. The too cheap price scared me away from them but they may be fine.
