Holy moses... that all sounds high.

The Mopar oil filter is $15
Fleetguard/Mopar fuel filters are $75
Rotella T is about $17/gallon ($17 x 3 gal) = $51

The only thing my place provides is the oil... They charge $94.50 (+ my oil filter) = $109.50. I did all my own fuel filters.

All of that total is $184.50.

The last set I bought was on Amazon. Genuine Mopar (which is FG). It was $74.96 for the set back in January.

I just checked and it looks like they're running the oil filter and both fuel filters for $73.88. Says 50% off.

Where are you buying T-6 for $17. gallon or are you talking about T-4 dino oil being T-6 15w40 or 5w40 is $23.50 gallon at both Walmart & Amazon...

What year Cummins as the 2019+ engines the cost for both genuine fuel filters Mopar/Fleetguard is around $128. If your buying for a 2019+ engine I would be very carful of buying them on Amazon, have read of many buyer who received China knock off's that look like OEM boxed filters...

I had a 2016. 2019 might be slightly different. I don't really have any info on that, but if you say they are I'm sure you're correct.

The Mopar Store on Amazon is who I always purchased from. They're not knock offs.

I looked up the Mopar web site on Amazon, searched for 6.7 fuel filters, I was taken to the below web page, then I looked to see that the seller is NOT FCA/Mopar but some 3rd party seller called " Heela Homes " so can you know for sure where those filters came from and are not fake China Junk? Its BS like this is why I and others will spend a few extra $ too be sure what I am buying in not Fake China Junk... https://www.amazon.com/Dodge-Diesel-Filter-Separator-Mopar/dp/B00MGSC2IW?ref_=ast_sto_dp

I would be careful with that supplier. That is a SCREAMING deal for genuine fleetguard nanonet fuel filters, which leads me to believe they might be knock-offs. It's more like 100% off of what a big truck shop would charge a fleet account.
