    10 (ten!) x OEM filters for US$34.60 + shipping (or 1 for $3.91).

    GermanAutoParts.com

    Don't want to make you feel bad mate, but 32 bucks for one filter is a complete rip off...

    You can get quality german brand oil filter for $15 locally. I keep see people paying ridiculous price for Ryco/Repco oil filters

    FAQ for you guys...

    I've got half a tank of 6 month old fuel on board. How do I drain the fuel tank?

    Cheers
