Man do I feel stupid... ive been buying oil filter and crush washer at the dealer for $12.xx after tax. After some asking around i found a local performance shop that carries oem oil filters for 5 ******* dollars!.. I actually picked one up today after work. The only catch was they didnt have the crush washer. Does anyone know where I can get one/some?

 

your Honda Dealer

 

go to honda and tell them that your filter didn't come with the washer. I did and all they do is reach under the counter and GIVE you one.

 

not all dealers will give u the washer, the dealer here charges 40 cents per washer.

 

the thing is the dealer is quite far from me.. so i try to avoid going to dealer at all costs.. .esp for something thats 40 cents.. but if worse comes to worst then ill probably have to stop by..

would it be possible home depot or some type of hardware store would carry something like this..

 

u sure its OEM? for $5? dayam.

 

$5 is believable. a few shops around my area charge between 5 and 6 bucks

 

OEM filters at my honda dealership are $7.XX and the washer is like 35 cents. if i remember correctly i paid 8 sumthing last week for my filter and washer

 

dang. btw, how much do mobil1 filters go for?

 

$12ish

 

Yeah, that sounds right... thats what I pay for my OEM filters at the dealer.

i get these flyers in the mail from my acura service center with a coupon for oil filters for $3.99 ea. plus tax. and the limit is like 5.

but you could print out the coupon from their website and buy more.

each filter is also wrapped with a crush washer too.

 

I Bought it from the local Acura dealer for 12 bux Canadian dollars, washer included.

 

where are your guys filters made? Mines said made in the usa by filtech.

 

last time I bought the honda filter for full price it was around $7 I think but I pretty much NEVER buy OEM unless the dealer sends me a parts counter coupon and its like $3.99/ea...

I usually go w/:
Mobil 1 - $12
Purolator Pure One - $6
Bosch Premium -$5-6
STP - $3
or OEM w/ coupon - $3.99... and they usually give me the crush washer for free.. they have a whole bin of them under the counter in a blue bin...

auto part stores have nylon/rubber/plastic whatever crush washers for sale too.. its like $1 or so for a 4 or 5 pack.. I've used these before w/o any problems

 

For the past year I have been going to the local Honda dealer and asking for a filter for a Civic (same for Integras), and always specifying a made in USA filter (Filtech). Made in Canada filters are Fram They are about $6 and they always include a crush washer. The last time I went, however, they just gave me a whole handful of the washers. I will probably be switching to STP, though, once I return to school because the closest Honda dealer is in the next town, 30 mins. away.

 

Not to knock the dealerships or anything, but if they can get away with charging Acura prices for a Honda product, they will.

 

i went thru the local honda parts dept + coupon. it's basically a buy one get one free, so i picked up 8 for $32 last time.

my sis didn't bother to ask for the washers tho, so it cost another $0.60 per washer.

 

do you have to replace the washer every time?

 

im not 100% sure if you absouluty HAVE to. i know other people who dont even use washers. but for 35 cents its kinda like y not u know.

 

You should, but I've gotten away with using the same washer for almost 3 years with no leaks.

 

Acura. They are overpriced and the gasket was $1.65 CAD for the stupid piece of metal. Oh well, next time I'm going to use Fram's.

 

do dealerships make their own pricing? because it seems we're all paying different prices here. its $8.XX here for filter+washer at HONDA

 

I get 'em for free.....my buddy usually brings me a case of brake cleaner, a few bottles of washer fluid concentrate, 4-5 oil filters (K-series) and a few bottles on Honda silicone spray and lithium spray every time he comes over! He rocks!

 

I've been buying 2 and getting 1 free from the dealer for $13 and change w/ no coupon . This includes the washers.
