They just went through a redesign of the Tough Guard a few months ago, when we got good deals of the old Tough Guards at walmart. I don't think they would have done that if they planned to kill the Tough Guard line. They are here to stay for a while.

The nubs appear to be undamaged. The fit of the element into the can is not especially tight.
This seems typical of this particular size/design - evidence a Honeywell A02 from back in the day:

Looks like Fram got rid of the "High Mileage" filter with the goo tablet inside. It's not shown on their updated website anymore.
My bet is Fram will keep the EG, TG and XG line up for a long time.
You're likely right, I was just thinking, with the new EG out, the TG might go by the wayside? Less cost, etc, etc, etc, and with likely most people (other than BITOG people) purchasing the cheapest oil filter possible, I thought maybe the TG numbers would suffer, which would eventually lead to it's demise?
I hope your right as I want to use the TG's for my vehicles even though, likely, the EG's are plenty of filter for them?

DuckRyder - very well done virgin C&P of a recently updated filter. I appreciate your time, effort and cost to do this.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Thank you guys, I do try to add value. Since things can change for better or worse seems prudent to try to stay on top of it.
Even though I don't need any oil or filters, I always pass by the automotive section to see what's new at Wal-Mart. So I saw an extra guard outside of its box and I was surprised in a good way to see the extra guard with a silicone anti drain back valve. I don't know why people hate these filters, they work perfectly fine for me.
I’m heading to Walmart this weekend to pick up supplies for my Camry. I think I’ll grab one of the Orange Cans of Delight. Thanks for the C&P!
