Wow. Good thing I burned 2 SpeedPerks & used BLANEY12 Thursday to snag 2 more Vietnam made 84060s, ended up being $2.23 each including tax! Under the wire... This means I'm running out of things to use SpeedPerks on-$9.99 is pretty ridiculous, nobody is paying that!

Yeah, I think there is a bit of 'Greedflation" on Advance Auto Parts than any wholesale pricing increase from PG. You can still shop around and find other branded PG made synthetic filters in the $5-$6 range quite easily.
At $7.99 with discount codes, they were an ok value, not so much if everyday in now $9.99. Might as well buy a FRAM XG at those prices.

As word gets out about the Carquest Premium, the demand must be going up, so the price gets jacked up too. O'Reilly had the MicroGard Select at $10.99 for a short time, then brought it back down to $9.99 … probably because sales dropped at $10.99.

Ummm-it's $7.99, now up to $9.99... A 25% increase. NAPA is a ripoff for filters, they're not a real good comparison in my book.

There’s always ChampXL as well
Those same Napa Gold filters were way, way cheaper 6-8 plus years ago….
It is a fair comparison. Napa Golds were ok priced back then. Going to $12.99 was a big increase.
And even still $ 9.99 is still well better than$12.99.
Yeah but have some of their filters dropped having silicone ADBV's?
I was thinking the same thing. Some RA purchased anecdotes posted have shown nitrile adbv. Also, 'afaik' they use same or similar metal to metal Champ Labs bypass seal area which anecdotes have shown to leak. Same as I found on the now discontinued Super Tech MP7317.
Fwiw, I think there's something to that conclusion. Seen it happen on Amazon with oil filters and other items, algorithm pricing. With Amazon, prices can change dramatically and quickly.

I wonder if the price will go up in Canada? The Carquest near me charges $8.04 Canadian for the Premium oil filters. That’s just $5.78 US! It’s by far the best deal up here. Truth be told even if they doubled the price it would still be cheaper than a leaky Endurance filter

well poop
Ah yes. I remember your c&p now. Thanks
I still have NAPAs that have their Gold fleet filter sales-Huntley Auto Supply (east of here in Georgetown & West Union OH) actually had it twice this year. Now that they're PG made, might have to buy a few next year!
