I agree, and PS filters always make for a good, "get me to the free shipping minimum" item!

For what its worth I just called NAPA - CHF11S in the Pentosin bottle is $19.99, $18 with the loyalty card. Called the dealer $25.20. So it looks like I'm going NAPA. Sometimes the dealer can beat NAPA on "exotic" fluids, or its the same price, and for the same price I like to think I'm fancy with the Silver and Blue bottle, but for like $7/qt I'll buy it in the generic bottle.
