Best place to buy oil filters?

[steven88]

Walmart Motorcraft oil filters part #: FL-2017B = $3 or $4, cant remember. I found this out when I went to Mazda for an OEM filter and paid $7-$8 for the EXACT same filter as the Motorcraft unit, just in a Mazda "Genuine" parts box.

i use this filter from wal mart...works great and fits like oem...it cost me $3.15 or so + tax

Just it and the oil. Can't beat the price either. O rings will be with it.

no, it already comes with the two o rings...only thing u need is the washer for the drain plug...i just reused mine and never had leaking problems....

Don't get all bent on having to replace that washer every time you change your oil. It's over-rated. I've used the same washer for 10's of thousands of miles on previous vehicles of mine with no leaks, ever. Inspect the washer and if it's torn up or in bad shape, which I highly doubt it will be, then replace it. If it looks normal, it will not hurt to use it again. I would use a torque wrench on the drain bolt, however, rather than giving the bolt a "WAG". Paying $1.37 for a friggen aluminum washer because it's a "Mazda" part is insane when you can buy a whole package of them at Autozone for almost the same price. Their price of $4.76 for an oil filter is, however, a good one.

I don't think they're talking about crush washers, they're talking about the rubber washers for the filter cover and filter housing drain plug.

They said "oil plug washers".
