This makes me all tingly inside
I was just about to order a couple STP XL’s this week for my Ram. Amazon has these for a couple bucks cheaper so I think this is a no brainer!

Good Morning ZeeOSix,
Thank you for your detailed reply. The 1 gram per 1K miles makes good, practical sense from an engineering perspective. I can see how a company could build tests around it and then engineer the media for a specific life.
Your point on the well taken care of engine is a good one too. When I change the oil at 5-6k miles, (Subaru specifies 6k), visually it still looks good meaning its not completely black and still has transparency. Part of it may also be our mileage is over 90% highway, the engine reaches temp and my wife and I drive minimizing hard accelerations, especially on a cold engine; a learning from this community.
BTW beautiful pics Zee09 . . . thank you.

Looks to be a well-made filter, Amazon showing ~$10 for my (7317/14610) application. Though not a zealot on that sort of thing, going to "try" to stay with price competitive domestic made filters for as long as I can. That said, been eyeing the AAP CQ Premium Blue for ~$6.60 (my app) after code if that plan no longer possible.
Thanks for c&p.

Did you scroll down to other sellers on Amazon? These were near $9 but other vendors were cheaper and the one I mentioned prior used boxes and I got one day service
No, just cursory front page ships from Amazon price S4610. But looking now, S&S could save 50 cents off price. Ironically, the only other listing, Ecogard Automotive price ~$17.
I wouldn't consider anything other than new, and ships from Amazon preference. So, nothing to change previous plan. Goes to the CQ Blue price, could be a future consideration. The 7317/14610 a popular application.

This morning I tried the death grip approach to remove the media from the center tube and caps.
Simply grab the media once out of the can and squeeze the media to pop it out with no cutting etc. ( one hand only)
I was not able to do this on the S241 and I did zero damage to the media slash pleats.
Now on the Fram TG and EG I quickly popped the media off the center tube with little effort.
Nothing more than an observation

No problem but if you see a seller TruTrans on Amazon they are one day delivery and all filters are boxed. I ordered twice from them and they were great and the cheapest.No, just cursory front page ships from Amazon price S4610. But looking now, S&S could save 50 cents off price. Ironically, the only other listing, Ecogard Automotive price ~$17.

I received a collect call from @KCJeep last night and without revealing private details he threatened to end the PG-EG reign of terror. I found him to be rather obnoxious and an angry individual. He will be posting his concerns later today.
Personally I think he is just jealous of the PG fanfare of late.

Made in China - Nope!

Thank you, Zee09 for the reverse-engineering disassembly.
Hopefully some stateside manufacturers are presently haunting and emptying and quantifying the salivation cups from today and thus wising up.

Not my fault. I have to call collect from jail, and being incarcerated interferes with my therapy schedule.

Yeah, I hate buying Chinese but how are we going to filter the oil in our Korean, Mexican, and German cars not to mention Japanese...

I keep the metal from these cps.
The K&N Silver from 2017 no doubt is the same maker as the can was from the same steel as the S241
Both are very stiff, and they don't flex well even with much effort. Both were made in China,

TruTrans also sells on Walmart.com. I had good experience with them and all filters were boxed. I compare their prices between Amazon and Walmart.com as prices/sales differ between the two platforms.
