Default $.25 Air filters......

I bought a new Fram air filter for the Corvette at Walmart last week. When I got it home I saw that it has a red sticker on it marked down to a quarter. I didn't notice it when I bought it. Went back and found one more at that price. I guess its not a fast mover in a little town with more pickups than cars.

You scored a great price on those filters. In addition to the Mobil 1 I would also check the price on the Techron, you never know.

All I want to know is if that Fram filter was a Air Hog, because I know that fram makes those. Now that would be a killer deal!!

Nope just a regular old filter #CA3914 I don't use fram oil filters as I perfer to use factory filters but for some reason I usually end up buying Fram air filters. My Miata has over 200,000 and has had Mazda oil filters on it all its life but has usually had Fram oil & fuel filters.
