It isn't the same filter PERIOD!
From my chat with Fram. Again, I'm talking just about the media ... not the other differences between the lines.
Me: Thanks, I knew about the inlet holes and base gasket changes on the Titanium. Since the efficiency rating and use mileage ratings are the same, is the actual media material the same between the Fram line and the AAP line? That's what I'm interested in knowing. Or is the AAP filters using a different media design, but happen to have the same efficiency rating?
Fram: The media is the same, the differences in the 2 are the improved oil flow in the force over the Tough Guard, and the titanium has improved oil flow and the new perfect seal gasket also over the Ultra synthetic.
I completely understand what you're talking about.
The claim that I replied to was that:

This is a simple repackaging of two products, you all are thinking waaaay to much into this.
That is a complete falsehood.
I never claimed it was "a simple repackaging of two products" (that was someone else - so why reply to me with that) - and yes, they are not exactly the same as Fram explained in a chat session. I always clarified that I was talking about only the media. Anyway, from what Fram said it sounds like the media is the same.
