I was checking out filters at Walmart today and I inspected the new version of the Supertech 10k rated 9972 made for Toyotas. I was impressed.
It’s wire backed, has a metal crimp seam, very good pleat spacing, and perfect gluing.
The box says it’s still rated 99% at 30 microns, but given what I’m seeing here I wouldn’t be surprised if it were actually better than that and they just haven’t changed the printing on the boxes. This is about the closest thing I have found to the Fram Endurance and Amsoil filters. And it’s only $3.
