    Yes, and also the fact that the geniuses who ruined so many aspect of Prius with the Gen3 "improvements" that were anything but... This oil filter cap is slightly smaller than the standard for this design and I once wasted a half day driving around from one store to the next trying to find one that would work and couldn't find one and had to modify one that was too big, all because some dummy at an oil change place used an impact driver to put the new filter on.

    So from that perspective, I spent way more than $40 in lost time driving around and not finding something compatible...

    If I did write a short book on it, I would have to charge you but if you found your way to my website and used my promo code, you could get a discount.

    You also have the option of changing your oil filter receiver by either swapping that part out or using an adapter. That way you can use the same low costs can style oil filter that all other Prius and all other Toyotas use.

    Any chance I can get a affiliate link from you so I can make a little bit of money for each book I sell for you?

    That sounds expensive, but if I pay you a dollar per sale for the first 100 sold and you pay me $1.01 for every sale... Then after I sell 100 books I don't have to pay you a dollar per sale anymore and you have to pay me $0.05 per sale. Does that sound fair? I mean potential New York Times best sellers are worth taking this kind of a risk on, right?

    You could always wait for others to buy it.

    Then either get jealous and bash it for not getting it and enjoying it or end up buying it then know how good it is.

    I'm just in it for the free/discounted samples... As long as it fits into my daily workflow on PriusChat you'll think I'll be working to sell your book, but in truth I'm just doing what I normally do and sold some of your books by accident. :)

    Just clicked on your RedBullet link... They're now charging close to $300 once you add in tax&shipping when a few years ago I paid barely over $100?

    Classic end of product lifespan routine. I look forward to the machine shop that decides to replace them... Maybe someone already has? I'll start looking.

    Really you must have bought it second hand because it was never priced that low.

    Also there is a track edition thats in that higher price range.

    You may find one that is exactly like the Red Bullet, in fact it is just imported and rebranded.

    Yes sometimes we can not avoid S&H and taxes.

    Wow you got lucky and so you know how it gives the prius a little more pep huh.

    Honestly there is zero difference between the Red Bullet and the QS.

    I tested the track edition befor QS even released theirs.

    They are from the same manufacturer in Taiwan.
