There's a Whip City video premiering at 8pm edt of him cutting an fe8 open
I wonder if they weren't technically supposed to put them on the shelf yet or inventory them, only two stores near me have them available for pick up and the rest don't, the one I know has a pretty competent auto center, they probably just decided they'd go on ahead and put them up to get them out of the way so they didn't have to do it later.Ive got 3 of them in my basement, i would say they are released.

Bring it back to the store you bought it from and tell them it is defective and get a refund. Not a good start to these filters, personally I do not like them.So I bought the FE9688 for my wife’s Hyundai Elantra and I go to install it and it refuses to thread. Ended up going to advance auto and buying the FS9688 and it went on without a hiccup. Is there a way to contact Fram to get a refund?
I'm not sure of the point of the FE cartridge filters since to my knowledge they still haven't changed most of the Ultra cartridges from the original design.Have not found the elusive FE9018 for my car.
My normal filter i use in my car is the standard CH9018 i usually change the oil twice before i change it.I'm not sure of the point of the FE cartridge filters since to my knowledge they still haven't changed most of the Ultra cartridges from the original design.
Just get an Ultra cartridge they should still be wire backed and a few bucks cheaper.My normal filter i use in my car is the standard CH9018 i usually change the oil twice before i change it.
Have not seen a ultra cartridge since christmas.Just get an Ultra cartridge they should still be wire backed and a few bucks cheaper.
Took it back to Walmart. Looking at the threads, the starter thread was milled way out of spec as compared to the titanium. Like 1/2 inch out of place.Bring it back to the store you bought it from and tell them it is defective and get a refund. Not a good start to these filters, personally I do not like them.
Would like to have seen a pic of that.Took it back to Walmart. Looking at the threads, the starter thread was milled way out of spec as compared to the titanium. Like 1/2 inch out of place.
I was just in the south Muncie store and they have substantially cut the varieties of Ultra fitlers they have to make space for the Endurance filters they're pretty much only on one tier of the shelf and they have two shelves for them, they still had that same type of cartridge too in the same 10+ year old packaging, I guess they don't sell many for that application, I'm surprised they didn't cut it with the Ultras that got cut, they no longer carry an the Ultra/Xtended Gaurd filter for the 7.3PSD. when I was in their a year or so ago they still had some Xtended Gaurds on the shelf in the 3786.Decided to check out the Walmart near my work today. I really was just looking for the clearance oils. But looked at filters and was surprised to see a full stocking of the new Frams. I picked up a couple. One for the WRX and one for the riding mower, because why not.
My local Walmart doesn’t have any of these on the shelves yet.
Also found an older Fram ultra. But I had no use for it
The last titanium I bought is not wire backed.From looking at the FRAM website and also at Walmart, it appears that the FRAM Endurance is sold exclusively at Walmart. The FRAM website has a Walmart link and each filter has an “Exclusively At Walmart” banner on each filter photo that I look at. Kinda like how the FRAM Titanium is sold only at Advanced Auto.
The Endurance is around 50 cents more than the Titanium of the models I’ve looked at. I’m willing to pay the extra 50 cents to get the wire backed full synthetic media of the Endurance, especially since there are reports of newer Titanium’s without wire backing.
There aren’t any in stock at my local Walmart, but they are in stock to ship to my house. I was looking last night and if I order $35 or more, so 3 filters, I can get them shipped free to the house. It looks like 2 day shipping.
I wonder if any of this will affect Titanium sales.

My last 3 WERE wire backed.The last titanium I bought is not wire backed.
