Wow, I had no idea that this reoccured.

Yes, the change to the Ultra happened after this acquisition as well.

 

[GSCJR]

Yes, the change to the Ultra happened after this acquisition as well.

Right! I should have clued in after the numerous LOOONG threads about our coveted Ultra

 

[JustN89]

Yeah, I think it's safe to say the acquisition wasn't a great step for Fram with regards to quality. Tragic, as I loved the Fram Ultra and was a big orange can user when money was tight in my younger years.

Wait-let me see if I can do this… “It’s FINE”… “there’s NO DIFFERENCE in flow, dirt capacity, nor efficiency”… “it’s JUST AS GOOD as before”… “that nitrile ADBV will last just as long as the silicone one”… How did I do? Am I ready for the First Brands internet payroll??

 

[JavierH19]

Vertical or horizontal. If it's vertical it wont matter as much. If it was a horizontal positioned filter yeah it would matter more.

I don’t think Pritzker owns First Brands.
