Default Anyone know the cheapest dealership to get oil filters?

As the title says, does anyone have a particular dealer that you guys buy the oil filters from? I think the last time I called a couple places, they were asking for like $8.50-$9.00 just for filter and another $1 for the gasket, not including tax.

Thanks.

I just found out that Stevens Creek Lexus sells them for about $6.50, whereas Magnussens and Pleasanton Lexus sells it for about $2 more.

Toyota Dealership or online, try one of our sponsors either Carson Toyota or Sewell Lexus.

Really? Toyota dealerships sell the filters for 06-09 IS250's?

Just read through some posts on the forums and 04152-YZZA5 are sold at Toyota dealerships. Will go there from now on.
Thanks for the heads up. Dang it's expensive going to the Lexus dealerships.

I went to Stevens Creek Toyota and they don't stock these; at least as of when I was last there maybe like 6-7 months ago. Perhaps they do now.

I got them at Stevens Creek Lexus parts dept and they were $4.99 each IIRC.

How are people buying them from Stevens Creek and Fremont Magnussen Lexus dealerships for $5? Is there someone that works that I have to mention for this discount?

Any help would be great because I called a couple toyota dealerships (Hayward, Fremont, Sunnyvale) and they're all charging the $8-$9 that Lexus dealerships quoted me over the phone.

Edit: Just spoke to Neil from Stevens Creek Lexus, and got them for $5.41 each.

I didn't speak to anyone in particular, I just walked into the parts department and said I need two oil filters for an IS350. He got them from wherever they are kept and pointed me to the cashier.
