Advance autoparts has 25% off right now. I just ordered 3 of them and picked it up. After discounts, I paid around $38 for 3 filters.
thanks guys

To be fair, service always costs more when the engine has to come out for routine servicing.

To further expand on your comment: Jaguars and Land Rovers break for no reason at all (especially suspension components), dealers are clueless and parts prices are ridiculous for what they are.

I look at my P car and always ask "There's no way you could be any more perfect, I love you". I do it while my wife is in it: two birds, one stone chaps!
