If you can get them from Rockauto for a normal price, it's "greedflation" on Walmarts part.

Lots of socially awkward people on BITOG think a particular vendor is their loyal friend who will never do them wrong.
WM is still a good source of oil and car batteries though. They're my buddy there.
I guess this is a situation of putting the hamburger on sale, then selling the buns for $5.
They want everyone living in cities, instead of rural areas & small towns. And automakers are also messing up their gas engines & making them unreliable. Look how many lifter failures GM has with AFM/DFM. Most people who know about it disable the feature, or do the full delete after a lifter collapses.
The Prime Guards for $2.99 at Rural King are also a great option if you live near one. If you just want a cheap filter.
Or some could adjust habits as in post #20 …If you can get them from Rockauto for a normal price, it's "greedflation" on Walmarts part.

When it comes to Motorcraft filters specifically, all of them have gone up across the board, at the Ford dealer, Amazon and WM. Ford parts guy member bdcardinal said a while back that WM price was much lower than they could even get them for. That before they raised prices recently. But yeah, the common 910S has gone from ~$4 to $8+ now. Used to be an excellent choice for OPE use, now other filters in consideration like ST MP3614.
Since when is the pleat straightness after use became the measurement standard for a mileage use rating?
Don't even get me started on the unreliability of CVT automatics, GDI engines, even most manufacturers in general. The only (former) consistently good ones, Toyota & Honda, seem to be losing their edge, slipping into the land of disposable junk with the rest of them! This is why the xB in my sig soldiers on, bad paint, repaired body damage in rear rusting, at 19 years old-I literally can't find anything to replace it without dropping $20K+ on an unknown, probable POS vehicle.
C'mon-you think NFL franchises are FREE?? Rob Walton dropped $4.65 BILLION on the Broncos-they have to make that money somewhere!If you can get them from Rockauto for a normal price, it's "greedflation" on Walmarts part.

When the gal and I went car shopping for her, we ended up looking at only cars with non-CVT transmissions and non-GDI engines. Ended up with a 2010 Mazda3 with 73K miles on it. Mazda3s seems to be pretty reliable cars. It's also fun to drive.
