Rich,
I had an experience with the typical "Walmart shopper" last summer. I buy o=
il filters at Walmart because of the low price. I use Mobil 1 oil filters o=
n my race Bugeye and at Walmart they are $11 and change which is about $5 le=
ss than the big box auto parts stores. I went to Walmart and bought two fil=
ters. Later that day I went out to the garage to change the oil on the Buge=
ye and when I opened the filter box I found a Walmart brand oil filter in a M=
obil 1 box. Some shithead had switched boxes and bought a Mobil 1 filter fo=
r the $4.50 price of a Walmart filter. Walmart made it right, but it meant a=
nother trip to the store and going to the service desk, etc. I always open t=
he box and look before checking out now. =20
