I would think the likelihood of getting a counterfeit anything from Walmart direct would be very slim. Some off shore seller on ebay, whole 'nother story.
I get what you are saying but you have to look at more than just the cost of the filter. What is the total cost of ownership. I look at it like my mother who use to coupon shop. She'd spend hours driving around to different stores to save marginal amounts of money. In the end it was more frustrating and probably cost more than shopping at 1 or 2 places.I get not wanting to drive, that's cool. But dang more than twice the price at AZ, whacked. That said, when one uses or must use an AP store, cost is what it is.
As for topic filter, like the 400S and 500S, 'afaik' 910S anecdotes generally been fine. Also as long as clearance permits not a bad filter to grab at WM instead of the more expensive OPE filter for Briggs and Kohler engines on mowers. WM/Amazon price, good value imo.
I get what you are saying.....

In my instance, if I drive 10 miles each way that's 20 miles so about 1 gallon of gas @ $2.50/gallon, plus my time and the wear and tear on the vehicle. In the end I rationalized that $6 more was a wash for me. If I needed a few more things from Wally World then it would have made sense.
Just my $0.02
If you think it fuel dilution, change the oil and see what happens. What viscosity are you running?Old thread that i was reviewing, But I'm shopping for a FL-910s as my New ford is making nasty noises when fully warmed up.
I have been running the 400s as my filter motto is "bigger is better" if the OE filter is hamster size.
My issue may well be horrendous fuel dilution, but I thought I should put the O.E. spec filter on before the motor grenades.
I did. The oil was full of fuel with colorful bubbles on the oil surface in the drain pan . And it appeared againIf you think it fuel dilution, change the oil and see what happens. What viscosity are you running?
