Yes, the HM is the one with the goo.
Walmart recently clearanced out the TG8316 at $4.50; they were from 2013-2014.
My suggestion is to go to AAP or Carquest and get the CQ filters (with the online promo codes, of course). The CQ blue is a VERY good filter, a reboxed M1.
If an O'R is nearby, they carry the Wix 51315. They also carry the XP, and even the M1-211, the only chain that actually sells them in-store (the M1-211 is online-only at Pep Boys, AAP/CQ, and Autozone)
Also, the STP S8316 from Autozone is a very good bang for the buck, the best cheap filter for the Zetec. Even though Autozone/STP recently switched suppliers (new ones are Purolator, old STP's were Fram ecores), they will most definitely have the old Champs in the 8316 version, since it's not a popular application (if WM can't move them, then AZ definitely can't). And this one is special, metal endcaps, NOT an ecore, and has a silicone ADBV. For $4.39.
