I try to find the Fram Pro Series Synthetic filters to save $2-3 over the Ultra. It's the same filter without the black grippy stuff.
ebay... They have a case of six Fram Pro Series for $35 and free shipping. That is if your looking for the 7317 filter.

The TG is shocking.
The Ultra is much higher due to the full synthetic media - ie, "depth filtering" media.
The TG is somewhat higher than the EG because for a give filter model, the TG probably has more pleats & media area.

That would have to reduce engine wear, would it not?
Yes, the high efficiency filters also do a better job at capturing the particles less than 20 microns, so in the long run they should also keep engine wear down more than a much less efficient filter.
