I rather doubt it - mine was installed by the dealer, and they make a note to charge me 
less on servicing where filter changing is called for...

I ordered mine from - autolit@bmts.com - they're in Canada, so delivery doesn't 
involve custom's brokering.  Cost seemed reasonable, something like $80 including tax 
and delivery.  I doubt you'd be able to order from the states for that with our current 
exchange rate!
