I’m referring to the filters for preventative maintenance. Is NAPA a good place? Online? I have a DD15 engine that uses two fuel filters, one fuel water separator filter, and one oil filter.
Cheapest place to buy oil/fuel filters and engine oil?

Wix makes Napa filters. My Napa dealer does a half price sale twice a year. Then they sell them for the same price as my Wix distributors everyday price.
One truck dealer sells red ones, yellow ones and Paccar filters. They are a bit higher but give excellent service.
Another dealer is totally off the chain and only buy their filters as a last resort.
Then the one with Alliance and Luberfiner. Their prices and service are good.
What brand to use can cause enough discussion by itself but I have good results with Wix filters.
Try to use manufacture band filters on engines under warranty. Is a few dollars worth a warranty argument?
You have to check around.
When you buy filters from a large local distributor they are often shipped by the case. That case is on a pallet with a lot of other cases. Damage is unlikely.
Those individual mail order filters are often hand tossed around a lot.Rideandrepair, spsauerland and PE_T Thank this. -
I've had good luck with rock auto
It helps to know a few interchange part numbers to find what you want. I think the last fuel filters I got were $5 a pop. They were on closeout because they are labeled for someone elseRideandrepair, Goodysnap, spsauerland and 1 other person Thank this. -
When it comes to filters, I'd stick with OEM. There are a lot of cheaply made aftermarket stuff out on the market. Personally I'm a bit hesitant to use anything other than OE or stuff with a good rep like Donaldson or Fleetguard.

Check prices at different dealers. I find Stoops Freightliner with an account set up, is good. and Empire Freightliner, also for oil filters. Oil, I hate to admit, Walmart, catch a rollback often, Lol. $12? For Delvac. Oreillys has a $6.00 or so rebate on Delvac,every so often. Limit 10 or 12 Maybe? I’ve sent a few rebate checks to my kids house. Lol. Can’t beat the Oreillys deal.Under $10 a gal. Currently have a chance at 55 gal drum Texaco 40w for $100. I’ll pass though, wrong viscosity.

Buy your Oil in 55 gallon Drum- Buy 4 at a time You'll save Hundreds of dollars, Same with All your Filters, Buy em by the Dozen.....Keep your Shop/Yard Organized, If you Dont Have Inside Space But you park in a yard somewhere- Buy yourself a 40' retired Container for $1400...or Minimum 20 footer And Build it out inside to suit- Thats What I did before.....
Organize all your Tools and Supplies neatly inside. After That- Time to get to work
