Nah, I could honestly care less what they call their products. It's just so many different product lines to try to keep track of!

Synthetic media (microglass, polymer) requires a wire backing because it lacks sufficient rigidity to stay in form if just directly potted. The wire backing provides the necessary backing structure.I get that part... (Mostly the reasons why I read posts on this site!) But... if you want the "Wired" versions... Doesn't that say something about the filter itself?
What's so great about wires in the filter media? Has there been a rash of collapsed and failed media on the non-wired versions? Or..Is it just piece of mind?
What is the real benefit? I mean... this whole thread of conversations stems around this "new" being "better". Well... I've been around long enough to know "new" is more often a marketing ploy along with finding a way to make a product less expensive to produce.
"New & Improved!!" Alrighty then!!!
Good Eye !!
Is the can going to be painted a baby blue hue?
Do we know what material these new filters use? 2 ply (depth filtration)? IDK, that is why I'm asking..ty

You missed the punPossibly, myself I like the color of black

I take it that it's on a diet of otc plain Jane synthetic oil? This will be exciting to see when the oil filter surgery. Hope we can get it in 4K.
I said son only because I bet I am older than you by a decent margin. I'm 47 by the way.
Not meant to be disrespectful.
Not at all.
NP = no problem…?

HA! I have been known to use sarcasm one in awhile.I see you’re into sarcasm. Only two of those are actual filters, the third one is a can that may be used to sort sizes of birdshot
Well... yeah, exactly... These "cans" that sort birdshot were even touted by the WIX marketing team to be their PLATINUM line. You know, Top of the line product!
I'll gladly pay more for a "PLATINUM" filter! It's the best!!! Why.... it's better than the Silver AND Gold filters! Wait.... wait.... ummmm....
Someone said there was a "New" Fram in town.... Wires and spiral-cut center tube that spins the oil in a counter-clockwise rotational column and this helps stabilize the wire-backed media to help filter "Ultra microns" and still keep filtering for 25k miles!!!
I think I'll hunt these new bad boys down!!! My car will now last longer than my 7yr loan!!! Life's great!!
(These Manhattan marketing teams are laughing all the way to the bank.) Okay...back to the Oil section to see what's "New" there.
I know…
I just to thinking how that may have seemed …
That’s all. Im rather casual sometimes and that can be taken wrong at times. Especially in typed form.
All good, no offense. I occasionally say offbeat things myself. Mostly because you guys can’t hear how funny the voices in my head make it sound.
Done, just posted it.
