90915YZZD1 Oil Filter <$5 each shipped

Hard to tell if this a regular price - but seems like a good deal especially if you are ordering other parts to save on shipping:

$35.00 10 OEM oil filters
$10.54 shipping to NY

i noticed that when i called the lexus parts @ lexus dealer for a oil filter 90915YZZD1 they gave me a price of $9 something (approx $10) ..way to high. So then i called a toyota parts dealer and asked them same filter and they said as $5.40 and they threw in a oil plug gasket too.
So always ask toyota parts too..

Walmart.com has 5-Quart Mobil 1 Full Synthetic Motor Oil Jug (various grades) for $22.47 with free store
pickup (Note, store pick-up may vary by location. Shipping to home is $2.97).

Which is a better fit, the Advanced Fuel Economy or High Mileage? I'm leaning towards the High Mileage 5w30.

I'd go with QSUD (Quaker State Ultimate Durability) for $18 at Walmart. Or Pennzoil Platinum ($22). Both QSUD and PP have very similar VOA. They are practically the same oil, both produced by SOPUS.

Many people have had oil consumption issues with Mobil 1.

I bought one of those a year or so ago for ~$30. Its works just fine but you need a reference book to look up the description of the code. The tool just reads the code.

Float 12v charger is available for less than $7 at Harborfrieght with coupon.

If you dont use your RX very often, this is cheap way of maintaining a charge.

Rockauto still has crazy prices on wiper blades. All 3 of our sizes under $4.00 each for premium frameless design blades.

I just caught this deal at the end of April, they should be delivered today!
Shipping ended up free when i added in a pair of rear strut tops to the order when combining the 5% discount.
