Default Were to Purchase Filters this side/Canada?

Hello fello Canadian's, where are you purchasing your OEM Air,Oil and Cabin filters?
Swell in the US wants a load of money for shipping, so that's not an option.
Any suggestions this side of the board I'd appreciate hearing from you.

dealership?

we try worldpac too sometimes if they happen to get a bunch of toyota oem filters in.

otherwise internet?

the good thing about vancouver is we live 30mins from the boarder, get everything shipped to a warehouse in blaine washington, cross the boarder and pick up all the filters.

I'm from calgary and order from sewell all the time. My parents live in houston, so I just ship it there, then they unbox and usps all the time. But the cost for shipping from sewell is still going to be cheaper than lexus of calgary.

If you are not close to any dealership, you can always get parts from NAPA, Canadian Tire, Part Source, Car Quest, etc.....

I've searched parts source online:
K&N Reusable performance filter $56.99
K&N Oil Filter $5.99
OEM air filter $34.99
Microair Cabin Filters $20.99

Give them a try

Anyone know where i can get an Oil Filter Wrench Locally besides the dealership?

^^ the GSE2X's put the sway in the worst place possible. You can barely use a filter wrench as it is. This is going to sound ridiculous, but when I take mine off, I use a pry bar and just tap it with a hammer on the little tabs on the cap. Works like a charm. I actually bought the tool from Lexus of calgary, and it didn't work. Dealers in Alberta might actually be run by Hellen Keller.

Lol you're just asking for an informous pothole bump for that filter to pop out & oil going everywhere. I've heard this happen to a local man who did the same.

I've used a.u.t.o.p.a.r.t.s.w.a.y .ca for all my filter needs

They ship within Canada,

Crazy forum filter-remove the periods

Note: I do not work for these people, I just have used them before
