Amazon has the WIX 51348 in stock at a much better price.
Boom! Just hope it doesn't take 6 weeks to mail like mine

Now I just need to come up to $50 of stuff to order due to their $50 minimum...
2x filters. Squirrel mentality.

I need to head over to Napa to pick up a couple of spin-on compatible filters in the next few days...I'ma buy them ALL and keep 'em with my toilet paper hoard.
The bundle is $45, and it includes a roll of Charmin, an N95 mask, and one Napa Gold filter.

Just don't go beyond the 6 month oil change interval or you will get the hammer from JR like I did...

To get to Fitty bucks I would have to buy 3.57 filters which is super squirrel mentality.

If it gets to that point I will send Jake a time stamped video of me draining the oil out and letting the car sit until I get the proper filter! That is a hammer I want to avoid.

Scraped this off of the 996 subreddit - this is NOT where I'd park my 996...

I did order a filter on Amazon. Four days later they cancelled the order. Went back to LNE and the $50 minimum had disappeared.(?) Ordered two from them and some crush washers. All will be here tomorrow.

Ugh, so on Saturday I couldn't get it in reverse to get it out of the garage. The clutch pedal has been spongy for a while and the engage point has been close to the floor, but I've been wondering if its all in my head. So, it needs at minimum a new clutch slave and bleed if not a new master clutch cylinder. Anyone done this? I am this close to calling my indy, I really don't want to mess with it if its going to be a PITA. Too much other shit going on. Wayne Dempsey says its easy, but guys on the other place say its not.

Strange things I have in head, that will to hand.
