Yep they are, here's a MPH3387A

Guess we don't really know anything about the media though, likely the same as an EG maybe.


Pleat spacing and color all screams Extra Guard to me, and I don't know why they'd do anything else in a store brand anyway.

Well, KCJeep, at least the Canadian Tire tech to whom they subcontracted the work didn't reef the filter on with a wrench or anything stupid. The drain plug was also easily removable. They just can't measure oil or use their M1 or Fram Synthetic filters.

I got about 35 oil filters.

On another thread, it was mentioned that experts feel the life of cellulose filters is about 3-5 years due to storage conditions such as humidity.

Just saying that keeping a very old stash and / or buying filters from sources where you don't know the age or storage conditions, may not be a good idea.

Funny you said that. I posted once a few months ago asking people to 'fess up to using the orange can. I too suspect there is lots of "filter fibbing" going on.


Yes, you are right. I am secretly an Orange Can fanatic. I have a couple hundred of them underneath my bed but not even my wife knows it. How did you guess?

I am glad you came out of the closet on your FRAM fetish. Now you can live your long desired FRAM-full life as you desire.

Who else wishes to admit their FRAM fetish and have been doing filter fibbing?

Just for the record, I do not have a FRAM fetish.

Sounds like an intervention is required ... just like on the TV series.
