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

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

Hold down the right foot pedal on the freeway till it stop.

Pull the fuel filter out and just let it drain?

I had about a quarter old crap fuel. Chucked in octane booster, injector cleaner, and filled it to the top with 98. Still runs like ****, but I'm hoping it's now not the fuel's fault

But yeah, just going to run a few tanks of 98 through it while everything gets sorted.

So this car needs 98 or 95 will do (for cheapskates like me

)
