8000 miles on a filter rated for 15000 miles. I don't get it. Why pay extra for a long life filter and only run it a standard interval.
The ultra is slightly less efficient than the tough guard so why not pay a bit less,get better efficiency considering the interval is short enough that even a standard orange can would suffice?
Anyways those ultra filters are certainly a well built filter. Looking at them dissected I just laugh at the ignorant fram bashing when it inevitably pops up.
Tough to beat especially when you consider the capacity they are capable of.
Thanks for the pics.

I think the Ultra is a hair better than the Tough Guard (99+% Ultra vs 99% TG). See Fram's website.
Really?
Last time I looked the tg was slightly more efficient but less holding capacity m
Thank you for straightening me out. I don't want to post inaccurately so I appreciate you correcting my oversight.
Sorry guys for the inaccurate info. I was sure the tg was slightly more efficient. I'll pay closer attention
Thanks again zee

With metal wire backed media that doesn't matter much. Here's one I ran for 12K. 12K Ultra XG7317
Here is one I ran for 17,475 miles.
I could not get the pics to down load.

Well a Fram Ultra is $8.97 at walmart
A Wix is $7.99 at oreillys
For a grand total difference of 98 cents while they aren't on the same tier as far as filter quality goes they are definitely very close in price.
For a cheap decent filter get a napa silver for $3,82 at my local store.
Although I would argue a wix is closer to a napa silver than a fram ultra. What are u paying for other than a silicone adbv in the wix?

The media is allegedly a little better, and you lose the combo valve going to a Gold/WIX-but to get media that begins to approach an Ultra (at least in mileage longevity) it takes a Platinum/XE.
