Nope !!! I went with a suggestion from a current GenVibe member a couple years ago and ordered these http://www.trdsparks.com/displayparts.p ... rts_id=970" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

By purchasing a 10-pak you get a better price. With TWO 2009 Vibe Gt's in our family this made even more sense ;) These are for the 2.4L engine only

x2! I'm on my second 10 pack of oil filters from TRD Sparks. It works out to about $3.50 a filter which is a couple bucks cheaper then getting them directly from a Toyota dealer.

Where did you order the filters from and how much were they?

That's right. I pay $5.68 at my Toyota dealer.

I buy a lot of stuff like this on Amazon - filters(air, cabin, oil), windshield wipers - easy to find and pay for. I only ordered two, came to 12-13 bucks a pop shipped. No need to get 10 - I don't need a lifetime supply of filters. Once a year is fine with me.

Ordering 10 at a time makes more sense when you have 2 Vibes like tpollauf and I do. Plus, when you order 10 at a time you end up saving money as opposed to ordering them one at a time.

That's why I ordered two ;) A two year supply.
I ordered a case of OEM filters for the Outback we had for a year... that plan didn't work out too well.

mobile one isn't too bad.

I use the K&N oil filters but then again, I have a 1st gen vibe. don't know if you have a 1st or 2nd gen.

2010GT here.
Turns out the K&N and Mobil 1 filters are both made by Champion Laboratories - K&N just comes with a nut welded on.
