Super Tech Filters

[Doc Holiday]

Sorry if this isn't the right place to post, but I couldn't find one just about oil filters. I went to Walmart the other day and they are getting rid of Super Tech filters. This Walmart also got rid of Motor Craft filters too. In their place is now Purolator filter....I checked on the oil and they still have Super Tech Oil...anyone else's Walmart doing this?

SuperTech is being replaced by Purolator Classics in almost all Walmart stores. Motorcraft is still readily available in my stores. I would be surprised if they are dropping the MC filters--they are very popular.

I don't shop Walmart often, but given what I've seen in regards to Super Tech filter selection thelastbunch of years, I'm not surprised they're dropping them.

We BITOG folk saw the value of them. I don't think too many others did.

The Wally's I went to had loads of Bosch filters.

Wal-Marts in my area started stocking Bosch D+ last year, and recently started phasing out ST in favor of Puro Classic.

BTW, the oil filter section is here: https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=postlist&Board=6&page=1

Lots of good reads.

Apparently WalMart executive have been reading BITOG and have come around to the fact that the Purolator filters are good...then they went out and made a deal with Purolator for a bulk discount.

To OP: Do you recall the price of the filters when you were in?

Fram and Champion (who makes the Super Tech filters) are now owned by the same company. I assume that selling filters from the same company was some sort of internal competition or some sort of Monopoly so they had to get rid of one brand.

Fram sells well so the Super Tech had to go.

Doc this is old news. Check out the posts/thread's in the OIL FILTER section. Lots of info there.

The Bosch D+ at Walmart is about the same price as Amazon. I have free shipping on Amazon. Not sure about tax on Amazon.

Never had problem #1 with a SuperTech filter.
