I was pleasantly surprised earlier this week to find that my local Walmart is now carrying purolator. One of the employees in the auto department stated they were replacing all Super Tech filters with purolator. The price on them was low too! Lower even then fram.

It was reported here that Fram bought Champion's filter business, so the Super Tech's would be redundant. Just Frams in sheeps clothing.
Funny though, I thought AC Delcos were Champions and I still see them there.

I noticed the same thing the other day. Classics were $3.27 at my walmart. I was glad to see it! Main drawback to buying oil at walmart was the lack of filter options (fram)..

hope purolator quality does not go down the drain like most garbage sold at W-M. Watch them all be offshored to China real soon...

Highly doubt it - you can't equate being sold at Walmart with future downfall in quality. Motorcraft are sold there, so you think they will soon be made in China too? Obviously, Purolator can afford to sell to Walmart and still make some profit from the deal.

Not quite. A New Zealand holding company bought both FRAM and Champion.

Oddly enough, I have better luck with the search engine here than I do with the "search term site:bobistheoilguy.com" thing on Google.
I like purolator but lately i came across two with problems and that is making me wonder about them...
$3.27 is an ok price for them i pay about half of that at my shop for group 7 which is the same filter im pretty sure

My Walmart got rid of all the Motorcraft filters. Now it's only the Purolator Classics, FRAMs, and a few AC/Delco and Mopars. Too bad they don't carry the PureOne and Synthetic filters.
I just cut open a bunch of old filters I had sitting around hole-side down, and all of the PureOnes had plenty of oil in them, and none had sat less than six months. Some were more than a year old--still with lots of oil inside.
