The return of the SuperTech oil filter at WalMart.

[mrsilv04]

Yes, it is true. Looks like a Wix to me (ProSelect?), in a box with a copyright date of 2016. There was only one size on the shelf, the equivalent of a Fram 10060.

Price - $2.84

Pictures to follow, as soon as I can pull them off of my phone.

I always liked the ST filters, at least the non Ecore ones. Good, solid filter at a great price. I've got an old ST6607 and the price tag on it also says $2.84.

The one that I had in my hand was not an e-core. I'm betting that these are off the same line as the NAPA ProSelects and the O'Reilly MicroGards.

I, for one, am very happy that W*M has told Purolator that they're done, that I can now get these now instead, and they're back to the old $2.84 price.... WIN, WIN, WIN.

95% at 29 microns, not exceptional but not bad for a <$3 oil filter. At least they put it right on the box, where other filters you have to gp searching the web and still might not be able to find it.

Wow if it is a Wix made filter that is a Win Win Win also ...LOL
I hope its not a purolator although it does not look like it...In the pictures it looks like at least it has oil holes in the center tube that oil can get through..
Could it be a Fram?

 

[mrsilv04]

The new Purolator Red (the old white Classic) is 96.5% (per their website) but at how many microns?

Everything that I see suggests that it made by Wix, especially the markings on the top of the filter.

Nobody knows, and Purolator won't tell ya.

So, the safe answer is... something smaller than a Daisy BB.

Gotcha.

Good to see that Purolator is still playing it sleezy with the marketing.

Unsealed boxes, yippee. Isn't the Fram Ultra's new white color great? I do like the American patriotism on the box. Factory certified, what ever that means, materials too?

 

[901Memphis]

95% @ 29 microns would fall between 70-80% efficient at 20 microns

 

[Nick1994]

Cut it open already!

If it's a Wix clone, I'll definitely be buying these.

And Fram Ultras of course...

 

[crazyoildude]

Im with Nick On this one!

 

[Branson304]

Very cool! I hope to see more of these on the shelves at Walmart. I'd probably try one out.

Is your post a typo?

How does one determine if an oil filter is "good"? You run an OCI, you engine doesn't blow and it's not torn when you cut it open? Do a UOA? Just curious..
