Very quickly. I decided to buy a Fram TG over an XG . I did so for three reasons.
The first one was, the TG was I believe one dollar cheaper.
The second was, this particular TG was open in a ripped box, so I could inspect the top. The box advertised Silicone ADBV. It was Orange in color. The box indicated this filter was manufactured in 2019.
Thirdly, the Ultra XG appeared to be the last one on the shelf, and did not appear to be showing off its textured grip.
Here are some photos of what I purchased.
This will be the filter on the car upon arrival to the August event. I did not fully change the oil prior, as one of the reasons I am going is to buy superior product. The HPL event.
Without dominating this discussion, my question to you would be, would you have made the same choice I made? Or would you have gotten the Ultra. And why or why not?
Edit: We could also reference this thread about Fram Extra Guard "best bang for buck" https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/t...bang-for-your-buck.356356/page-2#post-6153156
