Menards now carrying Bosch, AC Delco, MC, Mopar...

mrsilv04 · Jan 24, 2015

My local Menard's is really expanding the oil filter selection.

For years, they've stocked Quaker State filters (Purolator Classic clone), along with the Fr*m Orange can of suckiness, and the Fr*m "Tough" Guard.

Now, they're adding Bosch, AC Delco, Motorcraft, and Mopar filters.

They didn't have all of the stock in, but it looks like it is going to be about 3-4 times the selection of before.

why do you think they "suck"? just how you feel or something regarding their quality/reliability you can prove?

I wonder what the sales will be like. I love it when they have the QS filters on sale for 1.99

Same here in North Georgia. Although I'm a big fan of Home Depot and Lowes, a little competition never hurts.

Now if only they would do away with their Exide batteries.....

IIRC, when they have their filter sale, aren't the TGs still a bit more than WMs prices?

Same here, $1.99 QS filter is great bang for your buck.

Its a never ending battle. Haters gonna hate. Lol.

Most of the time, its all opinions anyways. No experience with either product whatsoever. Fram Extra Guards.. eh okay I can see the dislike. The only one I have seen to truly impress me was the PH3600. The TG.. no way. Its a pretty stout filter. Less than $6 at WM for a 10k filter is a bargain IMO.

At least locally, Autozone has "average" MC filters (400S, 820S etc.) for the same price as WM. Its a good excuse to go in and check out the deals.

FWIW, some of the Motorcraft filter PN's are actually cheaper at the local AutoZone than WalMart, for me at least.

Only brand of filter I've had to take off of an engine, due to a problem with start up rattle.

"OC of Suckiness" is worth a couple of chuckles there, I don't care who you are.

same here, thats why i don't use them anymore, that and the pricing.

Black_Thunder · Jan 30, 2015

awesome, just saw first hand the new stock of filters at menards earlier today.

Its just nice to see a wider selection of filters.

q-state, fram, bosch, ac Delco and mopar.

i picked up a nice shiny bosch tonite and once its used i will cut that beauty open and check it out.

dlundblad · Jan 30, 2015

How did the prices compare to WM?

Black_Thunder · Jan 30, 2015

well the bosch filters are the premium series not the extended blue ones whatever they are called, so they are 4.99 a filter

but the motorcraft filters are more expensive then walmart also being 4.99 a filter

i didn't really look at the mopar/ac delco filter pricing, I'll check next time, i would imagine they are slightly higher then walmart as well. but maybe they will have some sales.

Black_Thunder · Jan 31, 2015

alright so the Ac Delco's are priced around 4 bucks a piece, not bad for an oem filter.

but the the mopar filters are almost 7 bucks a piece, same at walmart, what makes these filters so pricey?
