easly, scary.....
This is not the case for everyone. I use the ST7137 for my Honda and the wix and Napa Gold are going for about $7.xx here in Oregon. I price out a case from fleetfilters and it's still almost $6 shipped. I don't need to buy a wix when my ST will last 5K miles no problem. Thin media end caps? Mine are metal end caps.
u must have old stock,,all new currant stock i have cut open are just as i said.your car ain't worh a few extra bucks for a better filter?? geeeze.
What old stock? I just went to Wal-Mart this morning and the ST7317 had a date of March 19th 09. It's the same as the one i had from last year. I didn't know if you consider that old. Once again for my car, It's not $1 more it's almost 3 times more. $2.77 vs. $7.xx at my local auto parts store and Napa. My ST7137 are NOT ECORE so they still have the metal end caps.
well then tell me why the [censored] i opend has paper/cardboard end
caps,,i got a whole shelf of them cut open,there not steel.
Certain smaller size of the ST/STP filters are still made with the metal end caps. such as the 7317 and 6607. Next time you're at WM, check out the 7317, you can see it has the metal cage vs the plastic cage that the ECORE has.
