I bought the following from Europarts-sd:
14 quarts Mobil 1 ESP Formula M, 5w-40
Oil Filter (Hengst)
Fuel Filter (Mann)
Air Filters (cabin + engine).

You can get a kit for oil change (includes oil + oil filter and necessary seal rings/washers) as well as a filter kit (includes another oil filter, cabin plus engine air filters, and fuel filter, again with necessary seal rings).

Overall, it was a good experience. All things were packed carefully and fit in one box.

I also got hose clamps (13mm and 15mm) for fuel filter hoses.

I will just offer one "buyer beware". When I got everything in the shopping cart and was about to check out, the default shipping method cost $60...YIKES. I had to pause and re-think...and then I looked to see if other methods were available. I couldn't do on-site pick up. I changed the UPS to USPS...still the same...and then I tried FedEx. It was ONLY $25.

I was a bit bummed that the site didn't automatically pick the lowest cost shipping method given that all modes were regular ground shipping and none was faster than the other.

Regardless, I'll buy from them again because it is helpful to get everything you need in one package.

Just a note on an alternate route, all of the Mann filters (oil, air. fuel) are available from Amazon with free shipping. For oil, NAPA has a sale on the Mobil 1 ESP (or the Valvoline MST if you prefer 5W-40) every few months for $5.59/quart. If your local NAPA doesn't have them in stock they will have them for you in a day or two. I just watch for the sale and put some aside for the next oil change. Add the up the price difference for oil, filters, and shipping and it comes to about $80 extra for the one-stop convenience, maybe worth it or maybe not, but just fyi.

Nothing against Europarts BTW, while their lower volume makes them not entirely competitive on consumables they are a great resource for more specialized parts.

Consider oils from Motul
Low ash 229.51 compliant made of different syn base stock is available from this famous French lube maker/blender. Available here in the US.

Maybe having oil shipped instead of buying it locally is a poor choice?
