LOL ... yeah, it would be like an engine maker saying "we don't have the numbers" when someone asked how much HP their engine produces.

I've got a little of everything.

LOL well then I'm waiting for the Mobil 1 filter to go on sale I use those on my Duramax and could use a couple more as long as they become cheaper than a Fram Ultra.
 
The Mobil 1 and K&N filters are identical inside.

I won't buy either of those overpriced oil filters, so this change doesn't affect me.
 
Yup, that's those are the prices here too.
Incidentally, they didn't remove all the model numbers of the Mobil 1 filters. It and K&N actually share that shelf space now. Just fewer model numbers for Mobil 1.

Maybe because its actually made out of some significant amount of metal.
When I hold a fram I have that sense of caution. Kinda like when you have an egg in your hand. You know if you drop it it's all over for that egg.

It's a free country. Now if Walmart stocked Denso filters I'd be all over that.
 
Checking today, M1 still on shelves along with K&N. Add in Super Tech and Champ Labs made filters good presence. Total, in my observation Fram still has most space for three filter tiers . FU price up to $9.42 from $8.98 for XG7317.

Yeah, same here. They just lessened the amount of available model numbers of the Mobil 1 and introduced the K&N on the same shelf.

Rolls and Bentley did the same exact thing for decades when asked about HP and Torque.
More than adequate was the typical response

Note to self ... never buy a Rolls or Bentley, or any other vehicle that doesn't publish HP & torque numbers.

I just received the same response for the HP-1004.

I wonder what K&N would say if someone asked them: "What is the factory requirements of the vehicle engine manufacturer?"
 
Went to Walmart 2 days ago. In the sizes I use they have the Fram Ultra's for $8.97, Mobil 1's for $9.97 and some K&N's for $12.97

. Of course there was the obligatory oil filter switching of putting a Super Tech oil filter in a K&N box

, thieves! It doesn't look like they are discontinuing the Mobil 1 oil filters, at least at my store. I hope not because I'm hoping Mobil 1 comes out with it's $12/5qt rebate with it's $5/Mobil 1 oil filter rebate again. That makes the Mobil 1 oil filter $5
