ST6607 What happened?

K&N seems to be well stocked currently but I wonder where they are going since Fram and Champ are going away.... 🤔
 
The world is a cluster right now & we're all drugged into by the "people in charge". :cautious:
In reality this Ultra worshipping crowd turned into a Fram bashing forum so we shouldn't shed any tears eh? They just couldn't leave well enough alone and keep taking our money....dumb
They made pennies and threw away millions...
 
Years ago when K&N motorcycle filters were made by Hiflo in Thailand they were well liked. When K&N moved that production to the US, it was felt that quality fell. Maybe they should look at going back and getting them to make car filters.
 
I don't know about the quality, but they offer a less-costly version, part number R84356MP, for around $4.99 each, but this may be the price when buying a dozen. Personally, I'm going to spend the extra few bucks for the higher quality.
Whip City Wrencher just released a YT video comparing a new STP S7317 filter to a new Carquest R84356MP filter. Both are for Hondas. He gave a slight edge to the Carquest due to the STP having some blue paint overspray inside the filter can, although under the microscope, he gave a slight edge to the STP filter media. Both were very close. I would choose the Carquest if only planning on running 5k miles' OCIs or less. It also beats the STP on price, especially if you order online using a discount code and get a case of 12.
 
Now what? Back to square 1. Bosch went to Mexico, I don't take filters apart, but can see the difference just looking.

Don't know where to begin. AGAIN!

Decent quality for a low price, with availability.

I miss the days of $3 clearance PureOne Gold. I thought I’d be using those filters forever. Then when that stash got depleted and Purolator went silly, I adopted Fram. I hear what you’re saying. We never used to have to flip flop all the time.
