And?
It's just old stock. Same filter with it's original name.
I just put one of those on my car. Heaviest filter I've ever had. Definitely well made.

It looks like the same price for lesser service life. You'd think Walmart would knock the price down between TG & XG to clear out the old stock.
I'm still using the ones that are older than that, rated at 7,000 miles. Good filters. I'm at work right now so I can't take any pics of the boxes, but they are the third ones from the left in this pic: 
I would use the Ultra oil filter for minimum 15,000 miles.
Ooooooo, 2-ply!
Am I the only one that thinks of toilet paper when I see 2-ply?
My local Meijer has tons of xtended guards mixed in with Ultras.
It's not exactly the same, there was a slight media change from xtended guard to Ultra resulting in the increase from 97 to 99+ efficiency.
Old stock at Walmart is no surprise.
People have no conscience about keeping something 5 years and then returning it without a receipt.
They are just playing by "the rules" and not thinking ethically about the guy that buys the dry rotted piece of junk or the manager that has to throw it away after sitting on the shelf for a year.
