anyone know why walmart

[RyanbabZ71]

Anyone know why walmart is stopping its sale of ac delco oil filters?  Dad needs a PF52 for his truck.  Last wk i seen a whole shelf so i go tonight. NONE! only PF1233's left.  They are filling the ac delco space with fram (YUCK sorry if i hurt anyone)

 

No where else sells ac delco (except autozone but they are always out)

 

Thank god i still have a yrs supply for my truck

 

Any other tips (places to get em at a good price?)

I don't know why "The #1 corporation in the WORLD" is dropping ACDelco.

 

 

 

 

Pep Boys, Trak Auto (I don't know if they are National or just Central VA but it's a chain), Advance Auto-Parts, just to name a few.

 

Do you have any of those around? I'd check those places out.

Kmart sells them also.

[RyanbabZ71]

pep boys is to far away

 

Trak auto going out of biz

 

Kmart around here does not sell them

Probibly because they are cheaper to buy and bigger profit margin to sell.

I noticed this too!!!   :angry:

 

Wal-Mart doesn't have them, K-Mart is 20 miles away, Pep boys and all the other auto stores that the import crowd hangs out at are also a bit away too.

 

So I stocked up last weekend when I had to buy a part at the Oldsmobile dealer for the Aurora.

Soon there will not be any.  GM Will no longer sell them to discount stores like K-Mart and Wal-Mart.  They want you to spend the big bucks for one at the dealer.  Wal-mart used to be $2.73 for AC PF-52.  Had to go to local auto parts store last oil change $5.69!!!!!

Yep i need 2 PF52's

 

One for my dads S-10 and one for my moms Blazer

&*#^&%#^

 

My dad bought a castrol oil filter i think.  Looks identical to the AC.  Its going on a truck with over 100K miles so i dont think its a big deal.  Might just take my moms blazer in for an oil change

[RyanbabZ71]

Went to pep boys bought 4 PF-52's (for my mom and dads trucks).  $2.99 each.  

 

They had the PF-59 for $5.99

 

WTF      

 

I paid 50 cents a piece for mine.

I stopped at Wally world the other day to get some oil, and they were in the middle of changing the whole automotive section around.  That may be part of the reason why they are running out of filters?  I talked with one of the guys, that worked there, and he told me, that they were trying to run the inventory down, before they had to move things......

I love fram  and it's all I've ever used in my trucks.

 

the wally world here has never sold ac delco

[General Lee 01]

Whatabout NAPA or CarQuest?

[pacodiablo]

NAPA is expensive...see if u can find em online

[CMNTMXR81]

Napa only sells Napa filters.  Unless they have the AC filters in back.

 

Well now I'm only down to two vehicles requiring PF52's!  I think at one point I had 5 total that all took the same PF52, which was kinda nice.  

[01z71]

Yeah I'm out right now.  I've been waiting for Wal-Mart to re-stock but I don't think it's gonna happen.  I guess it's off to the GM Dealer or AutoZone -- either way it's going to be expensive.
