    Looking for a place to get oil and fuel filters by the case as cheap as possible. Any recommendations?

    Indeed but I can only find Baldwins by the case at the moment and ironically I can buy them separately for cheaper. Of course, I might just do that but it would be nice to have a supplier I can rely on regularly for both oil and fuel filters of the same brand. I've been using Baldwins but have zero issue with switching up if the price is cheaper and the product is of the same quality or better.

    That's all relative, isn't it? What you think is monetarily cheap and/or an inferior quality product would be refuted by someone else. I specifically didn't ask for any particular brands by name because I don't want the thread to turn into something else like a pissing match over who makes the best or worst filters etc etc.

    We buy Cummins branded filters all the time, I just got a case of Toyota filters for my car this morning, they are the real deal but half the cost.

    You have to look at the stores too, many times the people will take the filters down one week and put them up the next.

    Fleetguard and Donaldson suppliers can set you up on a filter account and the the price is usually cheaper than baldwin. I have one through fleet pride for fleetguard and freightliner for donaldson and alot of filters are half regular price

    Good to know. I'll have to look into that. Maybe I'll contact a sales rep.

    I stick with OEM ... There is no pisssing match, that's what was engineered to be there.
    I set up parts accts with the dealers and just price shop when i need them. Keeps things simple and don't have any argument over if a filter is good or not.

    I second the Fleetguard. MHC always has the best price around here.
