I think the boxes mostly looked the same. I know we were looking down the centre tube during the transition period to determine whether it was an OG or the updated version.
Yeah, I figure I have about 5 years of them at the rate I'm going currently, a bit depressing. Would like to find more, may scope out Canadian Tire again, that's where I got the last group of the OG Ultras.
Its depressing much decline of manufacturing pride we're seeing here these days. I'm glad to discover this place and your wisdom shared here. Think I have enough OG Titaniums to last me a good 10 to 20 years, since I'm not driving 100 miles a day anymore. But changes in life can always lead to daily long commute driving again which these shine best in their return of investment.
All the Advance Auto Parts stores in my region have been closed so there is no way to hunt down old stock of these filters. I think they were the only retailer that sold the Purolator Boss as well which is out of reach now too.
