It has been proven here that it's nitrile.
It’s say silicone on the box
Surprise, surprise!
@MetalSlug I have not personally seen any, as where I am at in NW Texas they all seem to still be orange silicone ADBV's, at least at Walmart, the ones that fit my vehicles are still orange. But many folks on here have been finding black nitrile ADBV's over the last few months. Hopefully things will go back to normal in a couple of years.
It does say silicone on the box, it seems that they are trying to pull a fast one.
Sorry I haven’t active much. I just now saw a post similar to this . I properly pay $2 more to get the TG . It does still have the orange silicone . And a dollar more I can get the ultra lol .
I wouldn’t bet on it, all the TG7317s I‘ve seen recently have the black nitrile. Here come the Fram defenders…

Yes, First Brands seems to say a lot of things that aren't accurate.
At the last Walmart I went to, the PH7317 had silicone while the more expensive TG7317 had black ADBV 
Dig to the back of the shelf and see if there are any leftover orange silicone valve ones back there, that's how I found two at my local Walmart.
I will check it out
I was at another Walmart close by and found whole line of 7317 that have orange silicon . I grap 2 . One for the Honda . One for the the lawn mower . I hope fram fix this . Having the silicon adbv is the biggest season I went from ocod basher to become my go to every oil filter lol

I quit using Fram. Too much money for a cheap sloppy filter.
If they can't reliably convey what material their ADBV is, how can I trust their "efficiency" ratings?

This is why I switched to the Champ XL.

One of the reasons I've questioned the validity of their claims about the "upgraded" Ultra, so many weird mistakes in the "experimental" replacement media snippet posted here, and now this stuff...If they can't reliably convey what material their ADBV is, how can I trust their "efficiency" ratings?
