Latest Supertechs for Toyota V6 came in the usual carton but with plastic film adhered to the open end, a nice touch. Have not seen this previously.
Supertech filter with plastic film sealing - nice!

That'll be nice for when people put them into the Mobil 1 box and check out with the Mobil 1 filter in the ST box.

Doesn’t sound good for Fram, but it is good for consumers as the ST in that size especially, probably all have the adbv not sealing. Assuming the plastic cover means made somewhere in Asia. I still haven’t returned the ST I bought. Adbv does not cover the holes, sometimes it’s hard to see by eye until one knows what to look for.
Who here does that though?
It's a Chinese PG filter now 
At least they're leak tested

I bet the quality went up too.

It is a common feature on oil filters manufactured in asia. I think it is because it is so humid throughout that region, if they did not, the end plates would begin to rust pretty quickly.
Just got back from Walmart. These new filters are not on the shelves here yet.
How much do you save when purchasing a Super tech oil filter, in general?
Depends on the SKU of each filter and what you are comparing it against. I have seen 50 cents to a couple of dollars when compared to the equivalent FRAM Extra Guard cross reference.
OK
Thanks. I always splurge and pick up a name brand (Mobil1) and was curious, I didn't know
