Do dealerships normally keep parts stocked?

    I need a few different things but i need an oil filter asap to do my change. Normally i would just head to town and start getting everything but i don't wanna make 2 trips. The dealership doesn't open for a bit yet so i was just curious to get a head start

    edit: I'm assuming OEM would be the best filter?

    They normaly keep things, like filters amd other things that could easily break/malfunction, in stock. Yes, oem would be the best choice.

    Common stuff, yeah. If you need something like an upper control arm bolt, then maybe not. You should be fine for filters though. OEM isn't the "best" filter, but it's certainly good enough for OEM intervals.

    If you want a really good filter, you could drop a few hundred bucks and go with a by-pass filter system, but it's not necessary by any means.
