Thanks gents! Need to order some oil from Nick now.
inspect those, let us know if there is any surface rust. Member hemi395 had an issue with rp filters a couple pages ago, but I am pretty sure he didnt get them direct from rp. We dont know if manu issue or storage issue aliong the line. Read back a couple posts.

Saw that, Ill post some pics when they come in.

Think I might give one to my dad for Christmas LOL. We have both been running 20-500s for the last couple years now.

Not really a huge difference but, I do like the 20-820 more so thanks for posting the link.

Just turn it around and ask her why she has 20 pairs of shoes or 10 purses. You can only use one at a time right???

20-820s have been gone a while. 5 oil filters is going to last me 5 years. Good investment LOL

That's why Burla has so many, he wants to flex on everyone here when his filters on the shelf are old enough to drive and no one else has any more.

EDIT: I wish I could find Mopar air filters that cheap!

I remember. I just don't drive my truck much. So I thought for sure they were going to figure out their supply issue by the time I needed another filter.

Lesson learned

I think summit ordered a pallet and saw how fast they were selling, maybe even knew they wouldnt able to get more, and jacked up the price. I have no proof, but it makes sense. I bet they dont want to run out and dont mind making a large profit on them. I dont fault them, it is supply and demand is it not? I bet if they didnt jack the price, they would be long out of stock. Just a feeling though.

I was about to say, let's setup a RF warehouse and buy them all then flip them for double. I would have gladly paid $30 before you sent the link.

Dare I say the issue with that filter still exists. Leaves me to believe the only reason is supply and demand. Too much demand for that popular size. Buying multiples is still a good idea, but now of course we have the other potential issue. The argument against is frams new amsoil ea clone, too bad they didnt put 8 holes damnit. We wouldnt even have to say RP again, lol.

Gonna nominate @Burla for an episode of Hoarders tv show.
I dont think that works when what he, "hoarded" is actually something everyone wants LOL


What do you call that? ,"preemptive or preventative buying?"

Um, yeah. I just paid $10 less to RP for 2 filters than I paid Summit for one. :oops:
