The Orileys near me has always been expensive, but I noticed the Napa filters are way over priced now. Lately I've just been using the Fram Extra and Tough Guards, and the Supertech filters.I get a shop discount when I buy a filter. usually have it brought to me so I have not been in a auto parts store lately.
Saw this tonight @ orileys. The 51085 filter that fits my jeep. Same as a ph16,fl300 etc.
$7ish maybe $7.99What were they before?
I was buying filters for what I thought was reasonable at $4 per, but now they seem to have gone up to $6 per (bulk buying). 50% inflation. Kinda matches everything else, eh?
51060 has been at least $10 at oreillys here for at least 3 years.$7ish maybe $7.99
I see the same thing. Both of them, in general have their car parts at a higher price point. The three filters you're using are excellent and an excellent value, especially the Fram Tough Guard purchased at Walmart.The Orileys near me has always been expensive, but I noticed the Napa filters are way over priced now.

Free wiper blade Installation .So much markup at auto parts stores. IMO, I would pay that for a filter, if I got a price that beats Wal-Mart on oil.
Is there ANY ¨loss leaders¨ at an auto parts store? One reason I shop at Wal-Mart. I really don´t understand how the sales model works. You went to Wendys for the 99 cent Jr. bacon cheesburgers. You go to Menards for Romex, you go to Wal-Mart for motor oil..... loss leaders get you in the store to hopefully buy other things as well.
Ha that’s not a loss leader when the profit per wiper blade is 50% and some of the wipers are $80/pair.Free wiper blade Installation .
My only defense against that is to buy everything at Walmart, and to only buy Walmart store brands.It's the new world order..
Get less, pay more...
Wendys has 99 cent stuff?? Wow, mcdonalds prices more than trippled. I have been eating healthy for a while. My girlfriend just said thats all we eat now. Have to keep her happy you know.So much markup at auto parts stores. IMO, I would pay that for a filter, if I got a price that beats Wal-Mart on oil.
