Also bought Hengst and Mann filters for ~$10 ea
Genuine filter/ housing for $20 at Sunset, seems exceptional deal when they sell just a filter for $18. I still have the original housing so will buy this next time.

I can search but what's the benefit of spin-on? With factory setup it's easy to check for debris that may be a sign of IMSB or other internal issues, no need to cut up the filter housing.
