I already attempted to use the search function, and I apologize in advance for all the noob-questions, as I've just recently purchased my first porsche.

I'm just wondering whats the cheapest way to procure an oil filter for this vehicle?

I intend to do my oil changes every 3,000miles so I'm not concerned with using an OEM filter or some sort of high-end brand. (if its even possible to get a cheaper brand, i dont know!)

I've checked ebay (around $30) and pelican parts (around $35). Is there any where else I can get oil filters for cheaper? I honestly have no problem using fram. I read some recent studies confirming that their filtering capabilities are actually quite excellent (although people are usually worried about the paper end caps).

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

try pelican parts...

^ that's currently what i'm leaning towards. are there any cheaper alternatives? this is going to be my daily driver, so I'll be changing the oil quarterly. if I can find a cheap oil filter, its going to start saving me money quite quickly.

 

+1 Great customer service.

 

search ebay....

 

I have three brand new OEM porsche oil filters with O-rings if you are interested, and could give them to you for a good deal (since I'm changing my setup to use non-oem style filters).

(I know for sure I have two of them from my last order from the Porsche dealership.. Might be three, I'll have to double check)

 

Bosch filter $12.95. I have no affiliation with this company. I did buy a couple filters from them:

call up Jay at Brandywine Porsche in PA (google it to get the number).. he hooks me up with oil filters $15/pc OEM porsche ones

 

Did I stumble upon the kia forum? Lots of legwork to save 10 dollars on an oil filter.

Maintain your car right, don't skimp on wearable parts.

 

You can get OEM Porsche filters for about $13 from Suncoast Porsche. Just buy a 3-4 at a time to save on the shipping cost.

 

8$, major autopart store...

 

That's what I was thinking but didn't want to say anything.

 

We have some used take off filters we can let go for next to nothing.. LOL!

On a serious note, let me know if you have any questions. We have oil filters on our site right here!

 

K&N HP-7011 Ordered my first for like $15 w/ tax from Oreily's Auto Parts, then got on Ebay ordered some more for $8 shipped, lol. I stocked up. I'm all about saving a couple of bucks when I can (when its safe to do so), at the end of the day it all adds up.

 

to be quite honest, i work for the gov't, and i have a lot of free time to surf the net all day. I use this time to find cheap maintanence items for my porsche. At the end of the day, it saves me money, and i find it interesting. If I had a very busy occupation, I totally wouldn't have time to shop around -- I would just go to porsche and pick up an OEM filter, or just have them do the oil change period.
