Good to hear you found a filter, I also hated paying high prices for these filters. About 6 years ago I found a wholesaler who was willing to sell them for $12 a piece plus shipping, but he required me to buy a minimum 50 filters plus a $250 fee for setting up an accout. I think I paid $900 for 50 filters but I came out way ahead. Wheather or not they are still in business I don't know and I really can't even remember how I found them, but it maybe worth your time to try to find a wholesaler. Also because of the size of the PH6353 filters you can go 6-10k miles on the same filter but you should still change the oil at the same interval of 3-5K miles depending on driving habits and oil.
