Smile Where is everyone getting their Oil and Air filters these days?

I normally order 3-4 years worth and mine have currently run out. Any links would be greatly appreciated.

Not looking for oil. Only looking for filters.

Costco has periodic Mobil 1 full syn.oil on sale at $26 (six-pack qts). They've recently added 0W-20. Tough to beat. OEM filters on Ebay at good prices.

Default Wix Filters

I have become a fan of the filters from Wix. They are full synthetic fibers and do not blow out like paper does. Rock Auto usually has a special about every other month on 6 packs of them, along with others. Rock Auto always has some type of coupon code to use as well.

Wasn't there a Toyota dealer everyone use to order their stuff from? Sewalls or something?

Unfortunately, Sewell Lexus was banned from selling parts and accessories at a discount over the internet (probably by Lexus Corp, but they will never admit to that).

Pennzoil Platinum Ultra 0W-20, when ever price drops at Amazon I stock them (subscribe & save gives me additional 15% off). For filter, I normally go with Toyota.

I would add Walmart to this list. Walmart prices are very competitive and hard to beat. But they don't normally carry Pennzoil Platinum Ultra 0W-20. I always buy Mobile HM synthetic at Walmart.

I get my oil filters from my Toyota dealer and they charge me 6 bucks or so for them. Quality filter and the price is right. As for the engine air filter, I get them from my local parts store and I get my cabin air filters on Ebay for around 10 bucks.

uh I don't change either. I just fill up the LS with 87-octane, take roadfrog's opinion that it the LS is "mechanically solid and reliable" and hope for the best.

I just bought ten quarts of penzoil ultra platinum, it was on sale at Canadian tire and had good reviews

As for the air filters, I ordered two from some Chinese ebay seller for like $10 bucks, I didn't expect them to be as good quality as they are, they are identical to OEM in appearance and feel.

Walmart for oil and filters at Toyota. Last spring I purchased 30 quarts of Mobil 1 for less than $2 a quart due to a rebate Mobil was running. Great deal. Sometimes I'll run Napa Synthetic or Carquest Synthetic for around $2.70 a quart (it's just rebadged Valvoline), but I usually can find a high quality synthetic on sale at Walmart. I'm not usually too concerned about brand when it comes to synthetic oil, I inderstand some are better than others, but I'm doing extended drains anyway.

I've actually read that Motorcraft synthetic blend 5w20 is a decent quality alternative to synthetic, with a robust additive package (high moly content).

He sounds like a very wise and all-knowing soul - and very humble I hear.. And how's that regimen working out for you??
