Is it just me or does autozone and advanced auto never give you the right part? I have had to take back rotors and brake pads in 2 days because the rotors were the wrong ones, and the brake pads they gave me were half the size of the ones that I needed. WTF! Why can't they get our parts right?

For some reason that happened to me in Wal-Mart of all places to me today......Some guy stocking the shelves accused me over and over of not knowing what filter was the right one. I tried to tell him I'd used the same number filter for 4 years now, and he had a hard time believing me.....I personally tend to think that changing oil is an easy job, but maybe its just me. Whatever. lol


You buy Wal-Mart filters? laugh.gif

Sorry to drag this off topic, but I think it's important. I only use K&N oil filters because it's so dang small. I'd like to find the next size up or something. I don't like the little oil filter. Seems like it could get plugged easy and what not.

You guys feel free to use expensive filters then. tongue.gif I choose to use the "cheap" Fram filters on my 5SFE because it really doesnt matter.....im not too prissy about what I use in my 180,000+ mile economy motor that's getting swapped out soon enough anyway.

It gets the job done as far as I'm concerned. When theres a 3SGTE under the hood it probably won't see anything other than K&N or Toyota filters, but for now it works just fine for me and my 12 year old car.
