What do oil filters and toilet paper have in common?

$45 for a Motorcraft FL2124S! Eat my shorts. Back on the Wix bandwagon.

Since you done gradu-menated to the Poewrstr0ke...

Meanwhile I overpay for the Ford Racing variation on the 1820S theme! and, at double price! ($28).

Then again I run around with a Godzilla Gas-O-Matic.

Any place in town is $45+. I can get them from RockAuto for $28+shipping but Wix XP are $22 shipped. The last time I bought the FL2124 it was under $20 at O'Reilly. 100+% inflation is even more than tariffs could explain.

I'll have to double check local pricing at Wal-Mart.

Wix makes good stuff.

On a somewhat related note, the 216 in my '51 Chevy pickup came with a Frantz bypass filter that used roll of toilet paper as its filtration media.

Looks like Wally world has the FL2124SW for $22 but none in stock at any of the Tucson locations. Might be a price hike coming!

They both spend their entire lives dealing with everyone else’s gunk just to keep the system running .

Are your shorts fancy as well?
That makes the PPE filter look like a deal!
