I was kinda hoping for something more along the lines of The Sopranos! It would've fit in with his casino thing.

I wasn't quick enough to engage Cousin Vinny. Had to resort to the painless one.

I finally placed an order for a case of Fleetguard LF3679 oil filters for my rig.. cost less than $40, I think I might do the same for my wifes and daughters car while stocking up on oil too.
Beware the shelf life of Fleetguard filters is 5 years for oil filters and 3 years for fuel filters due to media treatments (say to strip water out) going bad.
Like old tires: chunks of an old filter coming off and plugging oil passages up is worst case. Warranty time limits if any filter takes your protected item out are a good question.
Read the date on the filter as it may already have aged out on the shelf before YOU got it. Cummins agrees on age and refunded my money on the 6 year old fuel filter they sent me for a vintage generator...

I will have to look at them. I was also looking to order a case for the wife's car too, she put 62k on her little 4 banger last year making doordash deliveries. shelf time might not be too bad of an issue for hers lol

Filters and tires age vary greatly. The delco air and fuel filter for hmmwv has 15 year shelf life.
Any military tires are required to withstand 10 years storage outside without damage, then go into their 5 year use cycle. Thats why they got rid of the MTR tires- at year 9 in southwest they started showing signs of age (small crack).
Reading on the wix / napa gold oil filters they have 12 year shelf life. On individual wrapped units it is 13. I looked that up before I bought that case- which I may never use. SMH
