I bought 2 cases from the same exact auction, bought 6 filters from Autonation white bear lake. Bought a bunch of other stuff from them as well so the shipping was negligible

10 quarts of oil and a filter cost me $88 at my dealer.

All depends on at your paying. The eBay is not a bad deal though

Just ordered 2...thanks for the lead. I think I think I bought the big battery terminal fuse for my Boss from them when I blew it installing my Petersen oil catch can. My Boss has free oil changes for life from the dealer. It has 5000 miles on it with 6 track days. I thin I have had the oil changed 6 times already!

I don't see where it lists the quantity? That part number brings up a single quart.

I contacted the seller about that. The price is for a case of 12 quarts.

If you sign up for their Preferred Customer program, you can get a case of Amsoil for just about the exact same price.

some things just crack me up. spend $60k on a car, worried about the price of a quart of oil that has about $2 mark up/qt.

One of the reasons I have the ability to buy such luxury items is by never paying more than I need to for non-luxury items. Why pay more if you don't have to? The ebay auction was the best deal, free shipping, no tax, and no need to waste time/gas driving to the dealership/parts store. :cheers:. The GT350 takes 10 quarts, $2/quart saved is $20. Would you walk outside and burn a $20 bill?

It all adds up. That's $20 saved per oil change. If you're tracking you'll be doing a lot of them. Will you pay retail for the filter then? That's another $20 over the internet price. How about brake pads? The markup on them is $82 front and $50 rear. You will be replacing fronts after 3 high speed track days. Rear last for 6. By my math if you do 1 track weekend a month, that's 24 days per year. 8 sets of front brakes 8*82, 4 sets of rear brakes 4*50, 5 oil changes 5*40...You save $1056 per year, just on oil changes and brakes, by not paying retail!! I didn't even factor in rotors, brake fluid, air filter, or anything else you will definitely need! Maybe you are scrooge mcduck and heat your house with wads of cash ignited in your fireplace, but some of us worked hard for that money!

Ordered a filter from Rock Auto.

Price was as follows:
- (FL2069ST Oil Filter $ 14.27)
- (Priority Mail $ 4.99)
- (Order Total $ 19.26)

- Are there better options?

only $5 shipping to europe? that sounds pretty good! To save on shipping I'd order a bunch at a time though, that way your shipping cost per unit is lower

IIRC Amazon was cheaper for me when considering the total cost (shipping included).

Force of habit I guess. I wasn't born with money, I made my own and have to work too hard for it to blow it. Like the others have said, when you track your car things tend to add up.
