All Fram 7317 filters sold out everywhere

If there were no other 7317 options on the market that were suitable, this might be worth panicking over.
But it's not. There are plenty of Pentius UFXLs and Carquest Premiums and Microguard Selects to keep all us Honda people well supplied for ages.

Walmart knows how to sell stuff, lots of it, and a big part of that is getting stuff on the shelf. My money is on First Brands issues are starting to affect supply.
The new 'P' variant in xg, tg and ph might not be up to mass quantity scale.
My local walmart hasn't had any 7317 filter on the shelf in at least a year, they have plenty of 6607s and have nissan OEM filters.
I had a few things to fetch so I went to the Wallington, NJ [where Walmart got its name] Walmart.
All the 7317 Frams were gone with all other numbers seemingly fully in stock.

I have worked in a Wal-Mart regional distribution center and nobody forgets to order things like this. It is all racked and stacked by computer algorithm. If there is a regional shortage, it is a supply constraint and I guarantee a supplier manager at Wal-Mart in Bentonville is feeling heat on it.

Plenty of them on the shelf at 4 different Wal Marts here in Louisville.....
They removed the synthetic media and just made it a typical syn blend.
Fram has historically not been ran very well since the turn of the centuryYeah 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

Maybe I should be searching, buying, and hoarding as many as I can because Daughter's Honda is going to need filters for the next 80 years.
Or, not worry about it and use what's available when change time comes.
Yeah, I'll take a nap because there will be filters at Walmart when I need them.

not here in Louisville...plenty on the shelf....
This is the easy solution. The smaller can size won't matter for the year or so until 7317s come back. Every 7317 we're throwing away at 5k miles generally has a LOT of capacity left. 6607s are the easiest, most sensible temporary (or not) measure IMO.
^^^^This. Countless thousands of Hondas running around on jobber filters without issue.
@slacktide_bitog Here are four options available today at my local Walmart:

Only store near me that has them is Topeka KS Supercenter in a two pack. Local WMs have none.
The Walmart here in my area had 2 of the PH7317 but there were 12 other filter slots that were empty.
