How much could they possibly get a wholesale price of oil and filters for?!?

if the oil is in large drum it is cheap. the filters could be a set standard before name brand slapped on (its a sick world, I worked at quick lube 15 years ago). it could be a fram, it could be alot of things...
a tip to you: demand bottles, bring your own filter.My ol sube needs the tough guard with bypass screened (I gain a full open pressure relief at 65psi every morning) .
Else, it really is simple, not much to worry over.
I serviced almost 2000 last I knew. Not many need a special filter. In fact the EA sube engines is the highest (and only) real life pressure that needs to kick open relief to avoid hurting itself with 100+psi (aviation standard)
