Just left from Walmart, doing my oil stash replenish and needed a few oil filters for upcoming jobs and WHOA! The AC Delco PF63E last time was like $3 and now is over $7. Fram Ultras in some part #'s were $28! Even Tough Guards were running $7-8. What happened?
Walmart Oil filter prices way up!

8.97 for mine in FU. Lasts 20k, so 4 oci costed me 2.25. Cheap
Ask the "change the filter every OC, regardless" cheap insurance crowd.
No big price increases in Houston. $3.77 for Extra Guards, $6.xx for Tough Guards and $8.xx for Ultra.
Local Ultra's at Walmart still 8.97 and TG 6.64 XG 3.77 Supertech .98.
Amazon still has everyday low prices.
Most of the spin-on Ultras are still $8.97, and many of the cartridges aren't too much over $10
The Ultra that's $27 is probably that Volvo cartridge.

No idea , have not shopped Walmart for an oil filter since last summer , person .
Was looking at their on line prices a day ago .
About convinced to go with NAPA silver oil filters . For the Buick 3.8l . Have several cartridge filters from RockAuto for the Chevy Sonic 1.8l , on hand .
Hopefully the Walmart price hike is a computer glitch .

Walmart is a good place to get oil filters if they carry the brand and model you need.

I agree, and oil as well. I have seen Wal Mart prices, sometimes, are still cheaper than when CDN Tire has sales. Not always, and it depends what you use or are after, but it pays to shop around sometimes.
I have also noticed, which I think is the norm, some stores carry more/different products than others.

Looks the same, and I haven't got anywhere else that I can see a date code and see what I'm buying. Not as easily as at WM.

My problem with WM is they don't always have what I'm looking for. In San Diego the prices look good, there is a lot of competition for business.

I believe he's referring the XG10600 for WV/Audi 2.0T TSI turbo engines like I have in my CC.
When I saw the price, I drove down the street to Advance Auto and pickup up the Mobil 1 equivalent filter for $16.

The PG46E for $7 went up by almost $4 and its a very common filter

Worry when the PH16, PH8A, PH3600 etc. are over $3.77.
Good point but the AC Delco PF46E for $7 went up by almost $4 and its a very common filter used on GM's.
