Remember kids if you cant remember the last time you changed your air filter. It’s probably time to change your air intake filter.
Just bought oil, oil filters, and air intake filters for the BMW, and my wife’s Fit. ESC has their oi l change kits about 20% off, and A mazon had some deals as well, bought a 5 quart of Valvoline High mileage for about 1/2 the price of the local auto stores.
Any one care to guess which one car’s parts cost 3 times as much as the other’s ?

None of the car-related things I want have deals and it’s making me sad.
I bet the Fit has super expensive consumables

if by Expensive you mean 30 bucks for 5 quarts of oil (more than it actually needs), a Boch oil filter, and an AC Delco intake filter . Yes very expensive .
15 for the oil, 6 for the oil filter, and 10 for the intake filter. Sh ipped.
shockingly, Amazon doesn’t seem to deal in intake filters . the AC Delco was the only name brand one i could find for the Fit, and the Mann on for the BMW was 5 bucks more than it was on ECS.

New non genuine air filter for my 17 year old VW Transporter is around AU $50... regardless of whether I buy it locally or get it online. So I’ll drive it till it dies (ie. when it won’t go faster than 100 km/h).

I’ve been surprised that parts for our Honda are still almost as much as the German stuff for the VW/Audi. But I subconsciously want to spend more money on the Kraut because I feel like I need to. You know, to keep the peace.

Just had the oil changed on the MINI at the dealer. Actually here in Chicago Knauz just sold their MINI division to Fields and it’s in their old Infiniti building. I’d do it myself but the oil filter on turbo N18 engines is a major PITA to replace
They gave it a pretty clean bill of health but wanted $85 for an intake filter. I said no. The Amazon index of what filter I needed was super sketchy and ECS tuning was about the same price so I decided they earned my business. I think it was about $35 for a nice Mann

I think my Mann intake filter was 20 bucks, 24 on amazon. A few months ago I looked for one and they were 90 bucks where I was looking. I was baffled as to how a filter could be that much. Glad it ended up cheaper
