Anyone have any good places where they order their filters? Also, what brands are you using, OEM, aftermarket?

Started looking online and there seem to be a lot of different opinions with prices anywhere from $11 to $15 bucks. I'm looking to order about 3-4 to help negate shipping costs.

I've been using OEM filters bought from Heberts (when they have them). I'll be ordering mine online as well from now on. Need to see if the filters will come with the crush washer for the drain bolt as well. Some people replace it every time and others don't. I do.

I ordered mine at Hebert's also until I ran across these 2 places. Both are good to deal with.

If you notice, that price is for a 4 pack. A single is like 14 bucks...

If you get in a bind and need one, I got one but no crush washer. Call me if you need it.

I'm in no real rush for it. I just realized after the ride yesterday that I hit 9000 miles (ding!, oil change time). The last oil filter I bought was at Hebert's and I'm not paying $18 bucks+tax for a filter again (especially since LV BMW only charged me $15 when I had my service out there). $3 might not be much but it adds up, especially with how I have been putting miles on this bike.
