I wouldn't mind the 2 XG's, but the Orange can(PH), Tough guard(TG) and High mileage(HM) are usually frowned upon in these parts. That being said, looking at your previous posts I suspect your intentions are less than good.
no double guard?
FRAM doesn't make the DoubleGuard anymore. I think they finally wised up to the fact that it was an idiotic idea in the first place.
Of course, the "High Mileage" flavour isn't a whole lot better...

Well, I like most of the members of your FRAM family...

I find some merit in the TG. Very good media performance for cellulose based product; high efficency and holds a lot grams for it's cost ratio. Silicon ADBV, too. The dreaded fiber end-cap which, while I would prefer metal, does not scare me the way it does many others. If not for the non-metal cap, what would be the (percieved) problem?
I really like the new Ultra, but I don't run any OCIs long enough to warrant it's use.
The HM I don't care for, because I don't want additives in my filter.

I think the Extended Guard/Ultra's are the bomb.
You can't get Motorcraft cheap up there like we can down here, can you?
Try to run the silicon ADBV variations in the cold months anyway.
The High Mileage might be good for throwing at the neighbor's cat, but I can't think of any other use for it.

My "intentions" are neutral.
Sounds like you have a problem with me liking FRAM?

PITA to go to the Ford dealership where I live.

The FRAM that caused the cold start knocking on my VW was the "expensive model"... don't remember which one exactly but it was the pricier model. I can't imagine what base model would do... I don't use them anymore.
Looks like the FRAM marketing department has been busy.

With that many Frams, you could open a Lube shop and call it "Mass Genocide"

I've never had an issue with the orange can. Actually, I have the orange can on my car right now. I suspect there are many other BITOG'ers who have the orange can on their vehicle and just won't admit to it. They "say" they have a WIX, Purolator, Mobil, Bosch, etc; but in reality the orange can exists.

Maybe we should buy one and keep it as a souvenir? Who knows, 20 years down the road the double guard could be a collectible.

I don't think there's a whole lot of "filter fibbing" on BITOG.
Orange cans work fine (one's on my lawnmower -- cheaper than B&S), but for cars, $3.27 for a Purolator Classic gets my vote, in that class of filter.
