Hello Everyone,
Wally World seems to making changes with in-store oil filter inventory.
This past weekend I needed a filter for my 1.4 Ecotec Turbo engine. I noticed a change in the box graphics of the Super Tech brand. The filter itself also has some changes with construction similar to Champion eCore design with plastic cage inside.
Box indicates new filter is made in China and calls out comparisons to Fram, Mobil1, and K&N Brands (all competing brands that Walmart carries) and indicates protection up to 10,000 miles. Fram Tough Guard was the only other equivalent that I could find on the shelf and the inventory of those also looked picked over.
When I opened the box to compare, it had no plastic or wire metal cage inside as what I remember from previous versions. There was no equivalent stock for Mobil 1 brand, and Mobil 1 stock also looked picked over, almost like it is going to be phased out.
Anyone have any additional thoughts as to what might be going on with Wally World oil filter selections?
