Got this the next day with free shipping, great packaging, some bonus points and for the great deal I used PayPal credit which took off another $20.
They wrapped each in a huge bubble pouch. Oh their website charges no sales tax unless you are in their state...wow 😁

Using points is great. I just purchase a Wix 51040, Wix 51036 and 5qt jug of Castrol GTX FS for $6.62 thru Amazon. Also picked up a jug of VFS at Wally and submitted rebate. Total cost of oil changes for my Lucerne and Sierra this year, $44.09. $20 of that will be labor.
 
I bought 5 quart jug of Valvoline white bottle 5w20 at Fleet on sale, plus rebate.

6 quart case of Formula Shell 5w30 at menards on sale. 2.57 a quart
 
Just realized that the PH6018 is M20x1.0 not MX20.1.5, I needed to take it back regardless as when I got home I realized there was a dent on the dome end on one of the flutes, I probably missed it in the store as it probably just looked like a glare on the glossy black paint in the bright lights.

I've been eye-balling these old XG2870A filters on eBay for a while and just decided to bite the bullet, I'll use them on my dad's 2.5L escape, plenty of people run the FL400 in place of the FL910, the Fl400 actually has a 20PSI bypass vs the 14.5PSI on the FL910, so I figured the 22PSI on these VW filters shouldn't be a problem.
 
I bought this Motomaster OE Plus filter that sells for half the price of a new Fram Ultra. It is supposedly made in the USA. It has some rather distinctive threading and machined holes. Does anyone know who makes this.

It’s supposed to have semi synthetic media, metal end caps, and a silicon anti-drainback valve. Filtering efficiency is supposed to be to “90 %, but doesn’t say for what particle size. Supposedly good for 10,000 miles.
