During my travel last couple day . I’m doing some oil change for my family member . It’s been 1 years and 4 month since the oil change . In missisisippi . I note some fram orange can is above $5+

I end up bought 3 for 3 different . 2 vehicles and 1 for riding lawn mower .

I took those old filter with me back to Texas , will cut open . 1.4 year on fram Orange can let see what it look like inside . I will post on other thread .

That's the price the PH9688 has always been here. I can't speak for any other model.

The PH9688 contain pixie dust. It’s the special ingredient for Hyundai/KIA applications.

Tres huesos is definitely all I'd pay for an orange can of deliciousness.

Price varies by application as you have just seen. It's always been that way AFAIK.

I change oil on this Honda for many years . This only time I seen price different

Some Fram filters cost more than others and the 9688 series is probably the most well known among them that cost more.

All the Walmarts around me have the PH9688 for about $2 more than other sizes.

It is one of the reasons I decided on the ST9688 instead of the PH9688 for my H/K applications.

The PH9688 has been that price for several years now. It was revamped a few years ago due to the Hyundai/Kia oil pressure spiking issue and as a result the price went up after the upgrades.

I think super tech oil filter price went up too . I note those label 20k miles is around $5 something

Those are more expensive because they are a level up from the regular SuperTech filters. Silicone ADBV, and probably higher efficiency (better media).

Won’t effect me. My dad won’t let me buy those filters anymore for anything we own since he watched Nates Interactive Auto on YouTube and seen rust in them . I told him that he is just a YouTube guy and then he found some other guy that said it too and told me see it’s true. So now I have to buy a more expensive filter either at the parts place or Walmart if I can find an OEM filter there.

Inflation from all the reasons the informed people know about.

Anybody that listens to Nates Interactive Auto and believes that garbage or can even understand that idiot, I truly feel sorry for them.

I agree. He is also one that listens to Scotty Kilmer about everything he says literally if Scotty mentions it he is a fan. Every night he is home and not working he streams Scotty or Nate to the screen of the tv it drives me and mom nuts. I told him you know that Nates credibility is gone when he cuts the filters with a death wheel instead of a filter cutter and the fact he has no scientific info to back up his claims. And the sad part is if you read the comments everyone is talking about how they will never buy them again .

That being the case I see no reason not to move right to the TG better filter efficiency at 20 microns would make it my pick instantly.
