All Fram 7317 filters sold out everywhere

[slacktide_bitog]

All Frams in this size PH7317, TG7317, XG7317, FE7317 are all sold out completely at every nearby Walmart!

This is a very common filter! Most Japanese cars other than Toyota use the 7317 size filter. It's not some obscure application that they'd never make. It's a common size that should always be in stock at any store that sells oil filters.

The PH7317 is the Honda OE A02.

Yeah, maybe this is why Honda only wants you to change the filter every other OCI

You can wait, or use an alternative, of which there are several gazillion

Yeah but still, this absolutely shouldn't happen in any reasonably well-run company. A common size from a major OE supplier should NOT be out of stock everywhere

Wix and Purolator are garbage, most cheap jobber filters consolidate to the shorty 6607, Full isn't easy to find anymore, and most online options either have high shipping costs or high price due to "free" shipping

If I could get it at a reasonable price, I'd love to try the Purflux LS350 which is the 15400-RBA-F01

I've switched to Premium Guard from the 7317 and Honda filters.

Maybe the regional Walmart forgot to order them, it happens.

Maybe it has something to do with First Brands bankruptcy.

WIX are garbage now?

LOL They filed for bankruptcy in September 2025. Hard to make anything when you stiff suppliers and workers. They are for sale last i heard if you want to buy them.

Hard to order and receive some to put on the shelves to sell when maybe Fram/Champ Labs aren't making many, or maybe none at all.

 

[MurkyAsparagus]

Honestly, that’s probably a good thing.

 

[CDX825]

Rock auto shows XG7317 in stock. The PH and TG are out of stock though. Pretty wild.

 

[Woody71]

What I use for our Honda, seems to be in stock locally here. To others points, maybe this is a good thing. I've been using the PH7317 for 10 years and this next OCI I've purchased O'Reilley MicroGuard filters. May just run with them or the Carquest filters going forward.

Every shop or garage buying every 7317 they can? ....in response to something?
It'd be interesting to have BITOGers from all over the country pop into their nearest Walmart to check.

Just last week I saw a mechanic buy the entire stock of DEF (which was on sale) at a Walmart.

Amazon has them. I could order a TG for delivery tomorrow. But I am stocked up with Ecogards and OEM Honda filters. Also, I would use Wix ina second, even after takeovers, if I found them at a good price. No experience with Purolators since the eighties when I used them on an old Chevette.

The correct answer, even if the FRAM shelves are full......

Back when I used Fram Walmart was out often. They stock the same amount of many other sizes even though 7317 is standard in Honda and most Nissans.

As for well run companies Fram is not and Walmart struggles with inventory now too. There putting all there focus on delivery I think.

I saw yesterday the wix xp which were known for being rock catchers are now rated 99% for 23 microns which is pretty good.

Absolutely true. Things run out.

 

[TomYoung]

WIX are garbage now?

No. They're great.

 

[iahawk]

easy to check any local store online...my local Walmart had both PH and TG in stock and multiple others available to be shipped.
