Well it's official. Walmart Canada has dumped Purolator and replaced them with FRAM.
As for prices, they are all over the map for the OCOD.
For example, PH9688 is $4.98, PH3600 is $5.98, while the popular PH7317 is $6.48. Cartridge elements range from $6.98 for the CH10358 to $19.48 for CH8481
.
The good news is, Tough Guard is back! The bad news, get ready to pay. Prices range from $9.98 for the TG7317 to $10.98 for all other spin-on TGs.
FU is also available for the first time ever at Walmart. Prices are the same as Canadian Tire: $13+
If you own a Toyota/Lexus with the 2GR-FE engine, you are out of luck. Walmart does NOT carry any 9972. What a joke in my opinion. How can they not carry it for this engine?
So the filters have changed and so have the prices.
Then...
Puro Classics were $4.56+
Bosch was $6 - $7
Puro Syn was $11
Now...
OCOD $5 - $7
Extra Guard cartridge elements $7 - $20
TG $10+
FU $13+
As for the changes, it's two steps back in my opinion. I left the oil filter aisle shaking my head.
