I've often wondered exactly the same thing about their oil. At one time Wally's anti-freeze was deluded.quote:

Has it ever dawned on you that perhaps those 5 quart oil jugs at Wally World only have the proper additives for four quarts of oil?
I have read VOAs/UOAs here where admitted Wal*Mart oil purchasers have shown us some abnormal, weak add-packs.
Makes you wonder who is working those additive faucet percentages when it comes time to bottle those 5-quart jugs for Wal*Mart?
Frams have been cheaply made the same for the last 20-30 years even before Wal-Mart is what it is today. Fram has a higher margin that can expand and contract when needed to offset the Wal-Mart price structure. Wal-Mart stocks only what sells and Frams will always outsell the others so Wal-Mart needs Fram to get the store traffic to the automotive section.quote:

Do you really think Fram would make to different filters just for Wal-mart? Odd then that Wal-mart hasn't demanded Champ change the Supertech filters to not have as much media. Supertech filters have more media then Fram, and I'd think that Wal-mart would have a lot more control over that filter wouldn't you?quote:

I would venture to guess Champions new e-core was a cost cutting move in an attempt to capture some of Frams market share.quote:
