    Anyone know good place to order a case of 10 Toyota oil filters? I'm guessing the 2010-2015 Prius all take the same number filter? I used up my last box of 10 and purchased 3 for $15 at dealer the other day, done used one of them. I'm a two Prius owner need another box of 10.

    I get mine at a local dealer. They give me a good price when I buy that many, but you have to ask for the better price. Let them know politely that they are competing with "on-line" suppliers. Instead of sending you away irritated, most will give you the shop price.

    You've used 10 oil filters on a 2015? Doing oil changes for other Prius owners??

    no, that is my new one, couldn't figure out how to put both 2011 and 2015 in there. The 2011 has 151k on it now

    if you are frugal, try ebay for good deals. i bought 6 OEM ones for $25/free shipping. i just used one of those.
    i would not touch aftermarket cartridge ones, they are lower quality and more expensive.

    edit: sorry for the confusion on canister vs cartridge.

    I'm pretty sure canister oil filters would not work: the engine has a large diameter internal thread. Don't all the canister cartridges expect a smaller diameter external thread?
