    Bought several UFI filters years ago from LFSC, and just ran out.

    Looking at some sponsor sites, I don't see UFI's any more? I see the branded ferrari parts for 80-90$ or so… If thats the only option, then so be it. Its been several years since I needed to buy these, but I thought the UFI's were about $40 back then.

    I keep seeing folks on here mention that they are still buying UFI. Who still has these? Plan to call the sponsors here in the AM, everyone is closed tonite, but its not on their websites.

    Some folks on here posted that they bought them in packs of six from somewhere?

    Any leads appreciated before I buy the ones with the picture of the little horsey on them…

    The price went way up a couple of years ago. The aftermarket suppliers are not selling UFI's with the Ferrari logo on them but like every other business in the world when the market price goes up so do they.

    Ferrari sets the price, they always do.

    Why don't you change the fitting and install a remote oil filter that meets the need and lowers the overall cost of a filter change?

    Hi. I don't know what car you have, but if it's a 512, then Ricambi has them.

    I just bought a UFI from them for my Mondial, and noticed that they have them for other F-Cars as well.

    I bought a pack of six from Rutlands a while back. They were offering aspecial price at the time. You might give them a call and see if they will hook you up. Plus I bought a couple from eBay for a very nice price from an owner that had sold his TR. I always keep my eye out for these.

    Thanks guys, ended up getting it from Ricambi...

    I am surprised so few places carry these. Seems like last time they weren't that hard to get, and much cheaper...

    Are the Balwin B253 oil filters still the alternative choice for a Testarossa?

    Baldwin made a TR filter many years ago but discontinued it.
