New Fram filter?
I was in the auto dept of WalMart just looking around, and noticed a Fram Ultra Synthetic oil filter. I have seen their Ultra filters before, but not the Ultra Synthetic. Is this their newest filter?

I believe it is their newest filter.
Here is some more information on it if you wish to know more...

I generally think all Fram filters suck, but from what I've read, the Fram Ulra is the best Fram filter and only Fram filter worth using.
That being said, their lower end filters still suck.

If Fram filters were that bad I don't think Wal-Mart would risk the issue considering how many oil changes their stores do each month. O/p, thanks for the heads up. I'll have to check it out.

Supertech line which is a cheap filter but still passes OEM spec.
is the same filter as the walmart A/C. So I buy a wix or even a hastings
is good. I get my oil a walmart but not the filter!
I use the Castrol Edge!

At no time did the o/p ask for any ones opinion of the Wal-Mart brand filter. O/p simply inquired as to if the one that was looked at in the store is the newest.

For grins, this morning I went and picked one of these up & cut it open. Results are in the other oil filter thread:

First of all, I don't sell Fram filters, and I don't work for Fram. In fact, I have no particular like or dislike towards Fram filters, I simply asked a question. But reading all of the posts, particularly those that don't like Frams, I am curious about one thing. In arriving at your poor opinion of Fram filters, how many of you personally have actually had engine problems as a direct result of using a Fram filter?
