I remember just 2-3 years ago the Extra Guards being about $4, the Tough Guards being $6, & the Ultras being $8. With these prices, I usually buy my filters from Rural King, or order a few at a time from eBay. Prime Guards are $2.99, & the Fram Ultras are $8.99 at Rural King.
Oil filters at Walmart are getting expensive

I have a whole stash of eBay filters I recently bought as the prices keep going up. AC Delco Ultraguard PF63, Ecogard S2500, Premium Guard PG2500EX, & a Fram Ultra XG10575. Good for 2 years now. The Ecogards are the best value. They can be had for $6.40 with free shipping. I bought mine a month ago for $5.54 from the same seller.
Everything is getting to cost more... Inflation over the past 3 to 4 years.....

Must be a mistake. The TV told me inflation is over?

Thanks for posting this image. Over 10k too much for this filter. I've been using the XG in a 12 RAV4 2.5 for 6k and they look perfect. I am likely moving to 7500 OCI in that vehicle and am interested to see how the filter holds up. Yota 2.5 in this vehicle is not hard on oil. What engine is the pic associated with?
I buy all my filters from rockauto.
Champ XLs for about $4. Next filters I want to try are the Premium Guard units that go for mid $4s...but I got to burn up my stash first

Sadly it’s half the rating with an oil change midway - and a very clean engine that’s run mostly 70% PAO well under OLM …
Not sure if the media is trying to expand - but is confined ?

Wow, is that in the US? Last time I looked at filters in store TGs were 7, Ultras 9 and I bought an Endurance for 12 something. It wasn’t that long ago.

when filter stays !
When I bought my wifes Mazda CX-5, I also got a deal on 7 Mazda OEM filters (around $5 each.) She only has 1534 miles on car, so haven't even done first oil change yet, plan to this weekend. I also bought a few filters besides the OEM filters. Have 13 in stash. LOL
Plan to use OEM until they are gone. Maybe get a few more to get me to warranty. Then use the rest of them every 5K.
Supertech may get my business after that on filters. Not sure yet.

I had a similar experience last time I was in there to get a filter for my F-150... I was accustomed to them being $3.99. I still bought one because that was literally the only PH-8A sized filter they had.
Ebay 
you may be getting a counterfeit lesser quality filter?

The prices for a regular orange Fram oil filter is cheaper online at WalMart since they match Amazon's prices.
