Well that would be a good price for an Ultra filter. How do we work this ? Can I contact you directly with my shipping info?

I'm not the OP, I was just commenting on how ridiculous First Class package pricing is getting, an XG7317 with packaging is probably over 8ozs.
Exactly!
And so everyone doesn't have to read this entire thread, rep info on this topic/thread also proven inaccurate/false, i.e. one rep answer 'they are still orange silicone'.....another answer, rep saying 'it's an old stock vs new stock issue'. So why would one trust them now.
For whatever reason(s) the information provided has proven, being kind, unreliable.
ruining?
I'll give them a "pass" for that since it was a switch over.
What was the temperature in your freezer? Mine runs at around -10 to -15 F (-23 to -26 C). The freezer tests I've done with both a nitrile and silicone ADBV, I could definitely tell a difference between them.

Could one just freeze TWO complete filters, and push on the ADBV through the baseplate holes? I have QS3600s (nitrile) & XG3600s (silicone), might give it a try. As stated above, should be obvious.
I found and bought both the black and blue extra guard filters to cut open tomorrow standby
Crank down your freezer temperature a day before the cold test.
That actually DOES look Purple. Wonder if there is a supply issue of some sort?!
Edit: yep, everyone else thinking it already and the rep says so…

Lemme find a suitable box and I’ll go to the USPS kiosk down the road and get an estimate. I’m not optimistic it will be less than you could buy one locally, but I’ll give it a shot and see.
Never let it be said we here on BITOG don’t at least try to minimize the trash we throw away!
Lemme see what the ballpark estimate is for USPS and we can go from there. If it’s not even going to be close, we’ll call it a day and say we at least tried.
It’s currently 5 outside with a feel like temp on -12. Left if outside all night out of the box. I have a previously cut open eg with the orange valve so I can compare. I think I’ll only cut the black adbv one since that’s the one in question. I think we can all agree the blue is siliconeCrank down your freezer temperature a day before the cold test.

Be interesting to see the results of freeze test.
Based on prior obfuscation confidence in Trico / First Brands reply is low.

I’d say with confidence that the black adbv is not silicone but nitrile. It springs back slower and doesn’t feel as supple. If someone wants to try their own test go for it but I’d say it’s just nitrile. May just start using these for my cars. Cheaper than the extra guard, made in the USA and I’m guessing identical to the Mobil 1 m110, and the supertech mp7317

Props to the OP for doing the test, and as suggested, for using a 'control' (orange silicone) adbv for comparison.
Seeing OP's display pic, lessens subjectively factor too, 'for me'.

What else is new? But then again customer service doesn’t know what’s going on on the production floor at allFram been uh'fibbin'
Does anyone suspect the blue colored valve to be nitrile too? Or are we assuming it’s just the supertech valve used by champion labs(owned by first brands)Props to the OP for doing the test, and as suggested, for using a 'control' (orange silicone) adbv for comparison.
