They're the same filter except the Ultra has the sure grip surface

I've cut a FS3614 Pro filter before and it's an E-Core and does not have a typical bypass valve.
It has the combo anti-drain back / bypass valve in it.
Like the one on the link below.

Theres the Fram Core. Like what Walmart TLE uses.

Correction - Fram Part # FP3614 (not FS3614)

Here's the patent on the design.

Motorking (the Fram rep here) said that the Pro series is going through a change.
The new Fram Pro is an Extra Guard, the Fram Pro Synthetic is the Ultra.

Previously, the white can was ecore, the orange can was a TG and gold was (and still is) Ultra. FRAM is moving all FRAM branded products away from Ecore to to the severance of Champion Labs from FRAM. Now that said, the whining by Hyundai about issues is [censored]. They have had oiling issues and they are very aware of it. Hyundai dealers regularly break Magnussun Moss warranty act by intimidating car owners into thinking they cannot use aftermarket filters. FRAM has no issues being used on Hyundai cars at all.

So, FRAM pro is Extra Guard painted white. I'll stick with my FRAM pro synthetics

Question are these:
1) where to get the Pro series easily?
2) how will pricing compare/contrast to W/M typical gripped-Fram versions?
I cannot really complain about how easy it is to walk into any WM and get a TG for $5-6 ...

Seems most guy here get them on ebay in a case of 6 filters which makes them somewhat cheaper than buying them at Walmart.

You get them by the case of 6 on eBay for about $35-40 depending on the part number. Ends up being about $6 each, so you're getting an Ultra for the price of a TG
