I recently tried to buy engine oil for my Unimog. Seems like a simple mission, right? Well, it turned out that there was some "special" so if you bought the filter, you got the oil at a substantial discount, which for me was going to be a 40% savings. The problem was, didn't have filters for any of my cars except for the M3. Ok, I fine, I'll suck it up and spend $3 on the crappy filter to save $28 on the oil. The filter they gave me was such utter shiite that I literally tossed it in the garbage on the way out the door.
