the good news is, they are finely machined.
the bad news is, it was done by unicorns using each particle of diamond dust one and only one time, and they never missed a break period.

(Do it myself---Less than $4 for filter, less than $.69 per quart for oil on sale w/rebates). Of course, this is for a Taurus--maybe VW filters cost $20???
VW filters are slightly more expensive, though.

toyota dealer $19.95
infiniti dealer 29.95
mercedes 85
they prob all use the same oil
Right, so $38 is probably paying over the odds, and if I shopped it around, I could probably do for much less... but I couldn't be bothered.

--when i had my -64 bug in california,i learned to NOT buy the mexican brake parts,like drums, even shoes!! (the glue would break down under heat!!..and the drums were made with cheaper metal )first time you hit a water puddle,if the brakes were warm at all,they would warp..got the one's from germany,..$40.each,as opposed to $19.95 on sale at bugpac,it was worth th extra money..they are still making the super beetle in either mexico or brazil..they won't pass e.p.a., so ya can't get 'em here still,a cheap driver..
with most german cars i've had,it's worth shopping around ,but the cheap price isn't always you're best value..find out who made the part,
with the bug, you could put a set of $1.99 points in it,two month's later it's running rough..put a set in from bosch,and it ran great for a year!!(i did finally learn to adjust mt own valves!!what a pain!!)..a great car,if you fixed it all the time..bought it for $200. drove it 3 years,sold to a street rodder for $950. i did rebuild the engine,but,served me well..
..if you learn to fix it yourself,buy the good parts..they stay fixed longer.. maybe the g8irl with the $70. oil change could buy a few filters at wallyworld,and pay the mecanic for his time?!
