online source for maintenance fluids

I've read the severe service transmission thread among others. Several folks have mentioned cheaper online sources for fluids (oil and transmission). My question is; where is the cheapest place to order fluids and filters and washers and drain plugs from online? Is there a single source for everything? I can go to my dealer, but I just feel used and abused every time I leave there with my credit card smoldering in my wallet...

Thanks.

I go to Bernardi part since I can pick up wiper blade inserts and other parts while I'm there...enter fitfreak for a little discount on shipping...

Often it's the shipping that tips the scales towards the best deal. Pays to look around.


Bernardi is good (east coast). A tip: Once you order they send a discount offer soon after...so don't order everything at once.
Majestic Honda is good too.

H and A in CA is also good for fluids and maintenance parts, especially for left-coast folks. Buy Honda Fit Accessories - Discount Genuine Honda Accessories

Thanks CarBuff. This is exactly the sort of thing I need. But not just the names and sites, but also the clues that Bernardi's sends you coupons.

Before every order, Google "DEALERNAME Discounts Coupons". You often get the promo codes. Works for Advance Auto Parts and the like, as well.

retailmenot.com cuts to the chase pretty well and filters out most of the spam

Shipping is what kills it for fluids... try to find somewhere that does free shipping over x amount of order
