Subject: <VV> Oil Filters

I'm finding some relatively high prices locally (Chicago area) for
replacements for the PF4.

They seem to range between $9.50 and $20.00 per copy depending upon brand.
This really bugs me since I was getting REAL PF4s for about $4.00 - less
when filters were on sale.

Does anyone have a definitive list of the part #s from various
manufacturers?  I'd like to be able to hit a couple of parts stores armed
with such a list and see what kind of deal I can cut on a case or two.

I know a few of the part numbers:

Fram = PH4
Purolator = L20014
Wix = 51038

Maybe a few responses from the VV list will let me compile a more extensive
list - hopefully.

Thank you.

I beleive the NAPA number is simply 1038, this is the same filter as the
WIX.
There is also a Hastings filter available as well.
The PF4 is no longer in production, as supplies and demand dwindles the
price will keep going up.
Last year I bought 3 cases of the WIX when my NAPA dealer was able to get
me a good case price, I suggest you do the same and stock up now.
