FRAM "xtended guard" # XG-3682 unused CUT OPEN

[53' Stude]

Good evening BITOG faithful. Here is a 2nd "clearance filter" courtesy of Wal Mart. Box says circa 2009 also. No dents in this one. I have a FU-3682 that's newer if anyone could possibly use it. Enjoy the photos

That's the filter # for my car. I haven't noticed any older clearance XTended Guards here. How much was it?

 

[53' Stude]

$2.00 clearance. I have a newer FU-3682 btw

I would like to pics comparing fram oil filters used in the service bay compared to fram extra guard, some say there is a difference

 

[53' Stude]

Yeah, probably ones used in service bays are extra guards designed for 5-6k

FRAM ULTRA rated for 15,000 miles

Yup, just like the recent Purolator, despite what the framboys said.
