Good Morning Johnny428, Thank you for the C&P. Did you notice if it was easy to separate the media from the end cap?

Good Morning Eljefino, It's interesting when I'm in the filter aisle at WalMart I do find younger people reading the boxes on the lower priced filters for making a selection. I also find the slots for the Supertech ST6607s and Fram PH7317s seem to sell the fastest! Those two filters are in that...

That is so true about the shelf space in retail. What I've observed so far with the MPs gone at my Walmart is they've not yet been replaced with another product. Instead they've got all the filters arranged nicely on shelves in ascending price order; STs on the bottom shelf, then Extra Guards...

My theory is people ended up reaching for a Fram Extra Guard (95% @20 micron 10K life) because its price of $4.12 was only slightly higher than the ST filter (99% @30 micron 10K life) at $3.84 and much lower than the MP at $5.97 (99% @30 20K life). Also the ST and Extra Guards are 10K filters...

Good Morning Everyone, A couple of YouTube videos made by Fram in 2011 that are good in learning the anatomy of the filter and the engineering language of materials and testing. Some really good testing statistics on the by pass valve cycling, burst pressure and hot oil testing. Also the 70# of...

Hi Papang, Use them with great confidence. They deliver 95% efficiency @ 20 micron filtration and have a 10K life that is double your OCI.

Good Morning Goingplacesand doing stuff, The Supertech oil filters are 99% @30 microns. The difference between the STs and MPs is the mileage rating; the STs are 10K miles and the MPs are 20K.

Hi MuzzleFlash40, I'm coming in a bit late on your topic! Based on performance specifications . . . Prime Guard is________93% Eff. @25 microns and is rated for 5,000 miles Fram Extra Guard is __95% Eff. @20 microns and is rated for 10,000 miles. I'd purchase the Fram Extra Guard for the...

Good Morning OldTom, The performance specifications, (Eff @micron level and filter life) have remained the same for all of Fram's oil filters. The performance is taking care of your Kohler Engine and at 25 hours of annual use the PH Extra Guard specified on the Fram site to me seems more than...

Hi 53' Stude, I forgot to mention brilliant shopping picking those up for $1.00! :)(y)

Agreed, very serviceable for a 4-5K OCI. At a 10k life and 95% eff. @20 microns they're a great product and value. The latest versions being shipped are using a nylon center cage replacing the metal center tube. At my Walmart, the PH7317 and Tough Guard TG7317 seem to sell through the fastest. I...

Good Afternoon Redhat, I looked up your application on the Fram site and it specs a PH6017A which is spec'd for motorcycles and an Ultra XG6607 which is one of Fram's top automotive filters. Both are available at Walmart and are excellent choices. The Ultra is $8.97 and the PH6017A is $6.94.

Thank you TeeCee. What's interesting is my WalMart does not have service bays so I'm not sure who will buy those Core filters!

Good Afternoon Everyone, Question . . . Is the SuperTech MP oil filter (Blue Can) being phased out? My local WalMart is no longer selling them and with the extra space the filters have been rearranged in ascending price from the bottom shelf to the top. Included at the bottom level are the OEM...

Good Morning Brandon, In addition, WalMart offers it for a more affordable price than Amsoil and Royal Purple which I believe is significant. For my application the Endurance is $12.97 at WalMart and the Royal Purple is $18.99 at O'Reilly's, an incredible $6.02 less for the same filter.

Good Morning Papang, I recommend you not use the STP filter for two reasons, size and fitment. Using the Fram site I got the dimensions of your STP filter, Fram equivalent FE6607, and the correct one for your vehicle FE7317. 1. The 7317 is 3.39" tall and the STP is 2.73", .66" shorter which is...

Awesome, thank you Jetman. I can see why your filter looked great, your driving habits are superb. I'm sure your Vette looks as good as it runs.

Hi Jetman, Forgive me but I need to bother you with a few more questions. What type of driving did this filter see? Hwy vs city mileage Hard vs easy acceleration driving That filter looks great and want to learn what you're doing! Again, my thanks.

Good Morning Flat4wagen, The Ultra is an excellent filter with excellent performance specs. You can use them with confidence. With the 6,000 OCI of your Subaru you have over a 3X safety factor on the media. Enjoy that new WRX!

Hi Dougaroo, I went to the Fram site and entered your vehicle. The Extra Guard, Tough Guard and Ultra Synthetic have a height of 4.06". The Fram Endurance is at 4.516". Looking at your original in the picture and the Fram specifications, it appears the taller version is what you need. Also, the...
