I bought a case of these at Bowwow last time I was there, and the price they gave 
me was very good - just under $6 CDN I think. Just ask what is their best price if you 
buy a dozen... I was so disgusted that I was forced to use a Fram when I did a 
Sunday oil change that I was determined to not run out of filters again!
I used to buy VW filters at the dealer at similar prices, but they no longer are willing 
to give such deals. fwiw, I suspect the Bosch and VW filters come from the same 
plant (they are both made in US).
