Nut: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.55 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.03 at volume, on a typical 30-day lead time. These medians come from published supplier pricing. Treat them as a starting point for a sourcing conversation rather than a binding quote.

What moves the price
For nut, the drivers are filtration grade, airflow resistance, electrostatic charge, material layer count, roll width, DEXRON/MERCON spec, friction modifier package, viscosity — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published wholesale pricing for automotive nuts is highly fragmented and usually tied to exact part numbers, material grade, and packaging count rather than a generic "nut" spec. Realistic supplier routes are auto-fastener wholesalers and import/distributor channels; pricing drops fastest with larger pack sizes, simpler carbon-steel finishes, and lower traceability requirements, while OEM-grade traceability, plated finishes, and special packaging push prices up. The clearest published anchors in the results are US bulk wholesalers like Henry’s and Monster Bolts, plus import FOB quotes on Made-in-China for rivet nuts and wheel-nut assemblies, which support a broad bulk price band.
