I don't see where that analogy is going or how it's relevant to the matter that first brands has clearly cut the quality of the filter and the price seems to be increasing, so get out of here with that, cut your $5 cup of cofee non-sense, because what else we're spending money on isn't the problem here, it's First Brands cutting the quality of products and apparently increasing the price and giving us long term customers the shaft.

Okay then, how many have submitted complaints to FRAM voicing concerns over the new filter design? Beating each-other up on a public forum won't get their attention, but a few thousand complaints coming in over email, phone, and regular mail, just might. 
I sent a respectful e-mail (6 days ago) to Fram and never received a response. I'm a 3rd gen Fram user too!Okay then, how many have submitted complaints to FRAM voicing concerns over the new filter design?

Fram doesn't really care and would never cancel a change like this because of complaints ... typical big business money decisions going on.Okay then, how many have submitted complaints to FRAM voicing concerns over the new filter design?

Never!
I got a free Starbucks $5 gift card from signing up with Dr. On Demand 3 years ago, and I’ve never used any of it-so pretty much no “Fourbucks” for me!
If Starbucks was a oil filter it would be a defence brand oil filter priced the same as a top of the line synthetic wire backed one.
Starbucks is absolute garbage. Want real coffee? Fly to the UAE or Jordan, go 20 + km into the desert and let the Bedouins make you some.

Many, many things have gone up for various reasons … but when some folks run a Fram Ultra for just 5K … they had various choices on both filters and intervals …
@ZeeOSix @Ascent Filtration Testing Guys, Lets start a gofundme page to cover the cost of testing the new and old Fram ultra filters and put all the speculations to rest. I am sure lot of BITOGers will be happy to contribute !
Start it, I'll be happy to contribute.
Fram gave the numbers already, they are in this thread. What is going to happen to those numbers? They are still there. Even if everyone pretends they aren't there, they are still there. The new filter media filters better, according to the people who made it.
...Or the Original "Authentic" Ultra. Or the now, OG Ultra.
basic cut open of an RP filter.Now you don't have to cut one of those RP filters open and post pics on BITOG but I know that several people would appreciate it if you did
I've seen that one and I do appreciate it. I am hoping to see a C&P of the newest version with the e-core, perhaps someone will do one before I get around to doing it myself.
Went to the local walmart they had (3) of the older style wire mesh left in my application (3387a), unfortunately all three had been opened and two had ripped cardboard boxes. I might try the tough guard for two 5,000 oil changes, seems like a good value at that rate.
