    Prime Guard makes a synthetic filter also

    I’ve used those Premium Guards before. Not the Microgard version, but the actual Premium Guard. Even the gasket is silicone on them. Great filters. The Ecogard Synthetic+ is another good filter.

    Prime Guard makes a synthetic filter also

    When I was cross referencing filters, I came across this Prime Guard Synthetic. Didn’t know they made a synthetic filter. All I’ve ever seen before are the regular Prime Guards at Rural King.

    Oil filters at Walmart are getting expensive

    RockAuto has them for normal prices. But eBay is also a great place to look.

    Oil filters at Walmart are getting expensive

    Might be better off just ordering filters by the case, if you have a filter size that’s harder to find. Then it'll ship in the manufacturers box. RockAuto sells some filters like this.

    The Prime Guards for $2.99 at Rural King are also a great option if you live near one. If you just want a cheap filter.

    Oil filters at Walmart are getting expensive

    They want everyone living in cities, instead of rural areas & small towns. And automakers are also messing up their gas engines & making them unreliable. Look how many lifter failures GM has with AFM/DFM. Most people who know about it disable the feature, or do the full delete after a lifter...

    Oil filters at Walmart are getting expensive

    There’s this little mom & pop breakfast/lunch place I go to, where you can still get a meal for $8-$9. The inside hasn’t been remodeled since the 70s, with wood paneling & window a/c units, but the food is cheap & good. Restaurant is tucked into an area with small warehouses & mechanic shops, &...

    Oil filters at Walmart are getting expensive

    Guess it depends on if it’s coming straight from Amazon or a third party.

    Oil filters at Walmart are getting expensive

    Got to watch out with Amazon too. I heard of people getting dented filters from them. Apparently they’re just shipping the filters in a sealed bag & not a box. I look at the pictures before buying filters from eBay. If they only use a stock photo, I won’t buy it.

    Which of these filters are better. The ACDelco Ultraguard, or the Premium Guard Extended Life?

    Is the ADBV in the Ultraguard the same as the regular ACDelco?

    The Prime Guards at Rural King are the go to for cheap filters now. Only $2.99 & they seem to be a good filter for that price.

    Oil filters at Walmart are getting expensive

    Your right. I just looked up filters I usually buy there. I have Walmart+, so next time I buy a Walmart filter, I’ll order off the app.

    Oil filters at Walmart are getting expensive

    I have a whole stash of eBay filters I recently bought as the prices keep going up. AC Delco Ultraguard PF63, Ecogard S2500, Premium Guard PG2500EX, & a Fram Ultra XG10575. Good for 2 years now. The Ecogards are the best value. They can be had for $6.40 with free shipping. I bought mine a month...

    Oil filters at Walmart are getting expensive

    I remember just 2-3 years ago the Extra Guards being about $4, the Tough Guards being $6, & the Ultras being $8. With these prices, I usually buy my filters from Rural King, or order a few at a time from eBay. Prime Guards are $2.99, & the Fram Ultras are $8.99 at Rural King.

    New Alternative to Fram Ultra (New design)?

    They sell Prime Guards at Rural King for $2.99. I use them occasionally. Good filter for the price. They used to be $1.99. Who makes the Luber Finer ones? Champ Labs?

    Which of these filters are better. The ACDelco Ultraguard, or the Premium Guard Extended Life?

    Now for oil, Rural King had their Providence 5 quart jugs of full synthetic for $17.99 when I was there recently. Been using Rural King oil for years & it works great. Supertech is another one I run.

    Which of these filters are better. The ACDelco Ultraguard, or the Premium Guard Extended Life?

    I think you’re right about the Premium Guard & the Pronto being the same filter. It shows the PO2500EX as the alternative part #. I only buy filters from RockAuto if I’m also ordering other parts from them. Otherwise you can get them with free shipping from Walmart+ or Amazon Prime, whichever...
