A TG7317, date code A13411, has a black ADBV
1 is 2021
341 is the 341st day of the year, which translates to early December
 
^^Yep!! All the ones I saw at Wm today had black adbvs. Nitrile? And they're $2 more also.
Hey!!!! Apparently the world is in a supply crisis.😅 Before long your going to be paying more for less. My first gripe about this came years ago when the Kroenenberg 1664 was in 11 ounce bottles instead of the 355mL. Feeling glad I have a few of the fu7317 back when they were under 8 bucks.
 
WIX or M1 won't be any cheaper, and have less filtering efficiency.
M1 is a 20k mile filter. The FRAM EG is 10k. The PH9688 part number we've use in our Hyundai's has jumped from $5.XX to $9.XX and also gone back to nitrile adbv, which in a vacuum really isn't a concern. But it's the direction FRAM is headed, that is.
 
Come on now, where's the problem? It's well established those the new black silicone adbvs. /s

Just make sure to inspect the TG, search for the real orange silicone adbv. If none available, look for another silicone adbv OF purchase option.

Yeah I'm sure it's still a great filter. I think to me it's just the principle. They cheapened them out and raised the price.
