I am curious how many different type of filters do you keep in stock and how do you order them? With all the different cars/trucks out there how do you make sure you have the right type?

My guess is they just buy a lot of all kinds initially and then see how much they use each kind. From then on, they order according to how much they used of each type.

A lot of cars use the same filters too so I'm not sure how many you really need to keep on hand. Go to walmart and you won't see more than 1-2 dozen different filters.

I got a buddy in the Navy...I guess he's in the oil changing business. Changing Iraqi oil into American oil...
