Default Oil change kit?

Does anyone know which vendor sells an oil change kit? Oil, oil filter and oil ring, new drain plug. I thought my last oil change I ordered a kit, but I am getting old and can't remember which vendor I got it from. Thanks for your help

FCP Euro, Suncoast Porsche, ECS Tuning. You can also get the oil and Mann or Hengst oil filter at Amazon.

The FCP kits are nice, I used them on a few cars. Even better if you live near them since you can return the used oil and filters! With the paypal free return shipping loophole closed up it's less of a financial no-brainer though.

The alternative is to buy a bulk set of filters and then the oil as you go. You can get them cheaper if you buy the packs of 6 usually.

Yah, but even shipping from CA is like $28.

I don't mind paying $28 for oil changes. Also saves me from taking the oil to be disposed of. I just put it back in the containers bag it up and slap a ups label

Paypal killed free return shipping a year or so ago. Even still, it costs me about $23 to return oil. Still an amazing deal.

UPS or USPS? UPS is a private courier, not a part of the United States Postal Service.

I’ve used both Suncoast & FCP for filters, o-rings, and drain plugs, although I still haven’t made my first exchange with FCP yet for anything I’ve bought. Since I prefer to use Mobil1 FS 5W50, I just pick it up from a nearby Napa for around $7/qt. The idea of refilling small plastic containers and boxing used fluids seems more of a hassle than it’s worth for free replacement. Not as much with the small lightweight stuff.

I do my change for $88. Not worth my time and trouble to save $50+- if in fact the shipping would be $30 which sounds low. But hey, I'm just crazy like dat.....your results may differ.
