I buy all my oil filters from www.germanfilters.com....they sell MANN filters which are OE on our cars.

If you buy them in a large quantity you can get them for about $5/piece

Buy Mahle or Mann (both German) from a decent stockist, they are OEM specification.

or check out pelicanparts.com

They have moth Mann and Mahle I believe. Free shipping for orders above $75 in case you need something else. Also, I see you're in chino hills, their warehouse is in el segundo and so so cali shipping usually is a day or two to receive your parts from time of order.
