Fram's XG10600 (for a VW Golf) is $31.54 at Walmart. Ouch! that's why the only two in stock were orange cans in an Ultra box. And this thing isn't even a cartridge filter; it's a spin-on!
The XG8712 (for many Volvos from the past 10-15 years or so) is $27.47
Why the [censored] are they so expensive?
Even the Napa Platinum and Purolator Synthetic versions of the Volvo filter are around $20, and the OEM filters can be had under $10. Fram should be cheaper than Mann and Mahle!
And that $31 XG10600 there's just no excuse for that. The Wix filter is about half the cost, sadly no Wix XP though.
