Filter Prices

[PHPaul]

Pretty sure I know the answer to this, but thought I'd check.

I'm seeing air filter and cabin filter prices for my B2650 on Amazon in the $20 range. Waiting on a call-back from my local Kubota dealer, but I suspect their prices will be several multiples of that.

Since There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch, I'm guessing the Amazon filters are ripoffs from The Land Of Almost Right and it would be foolish to depend on them actually working.

I've bought cabin filters on Amazon and they have been fine. I would not buy one of those knockoff air filters, however. To me it ain't worth the risk on something that important.

I go to wixfilters.com and cross the Kubota number to find a Wix number. Because most of the local parts stores don't sell Wix filters anymore, I order from RockAuto.

Somewhat to my surprise, last time I went filter shopping "genuine" Kubota-branded filters were cheaper than Wix through NAPA.

The bad news is, the nearest Kubota dealer currently is 60+ miles away. The good news is, a competitor is building a new branch dealership about 19 miles away. Should be open by Fall.

With the ability the Chinese have for copying I don't trust many things available on Amazon, and that includes important components like filters. They even copy the boxes items go in so well you can't hardly tell the difference. Tread carefully.

I didn't buy a air filter, as it had a new one in it (IIRC it's actually two, an inner and outer)

But here are some prices from last year ...

Amazon isn’t the place to be ordering filters from.

If it’s too good to be true, it probably is.

I’d be good with a “Chi-Com” cabin air filter to save a few bucks, but not a engine filter. (air-oil nor hyd)……….Too much expensive stuff depends on those filters.


But alas,….I am a hypocrite.

My wifes van has been using Wally World air/oil filters and oil for the last 250,000 miles

Life is complicated…….

I recently bought this cabin filter off Amazon. It looks identical to the Kubota filter and was one third the price. It was at my door in 3 days.
