So, these are good for a 3-5k o/c interval?

If they're clearanced here, I might pick up a couple for the Jeep.
Same as Napa ProSelect, O'Reilly Microguard, and some others on the inside.
Well, not on clearance at my local store... and no 9018 at all...
And truthfully, $0.84 off is not that great of a deal for most of them. If they dropped to $1 then yeah.
The 9018 is $6.44 in the basic Fram, so $2 would be a good price (even the $2.84 is a good price IMO).

Did you scan any? Online say $2 in store.

Nope, and online shows $2.84 for me.

I just looked up the ST2 and it is flagged as in store purchase only. Price $2.00 save $0.84

Same here...I might go buy a few more ST2. Good for rinse runs or friends vehicles.

Go to Napa and grab a proselect. Believe its same filter and similar price.
They had all the ST and Shell Rotella filters at my walmart on clearance too. Along with multiple oil lines and all the Castrol ATF's

The Wix Combo valve is a big turn off (not all models use it), and the weak media was the downfall for me (not tears or failures in use, but cutting apart after a "regular" OCI, I found it to be too brittle for my liking).

I was never impressed with Supertech oil filters. They seemed light when I picked them up, and the one for my Hyundai is much smaller than OEM and other aftermarket filters spec'd for my car. The Supertech ST9688 is a small consolidated filter, which I don't prefer to use.

They are probably just changing manufacturer again, and making room for the new supertech filter.
I have been buying this $2.84 ST filter for my wife's scion for several years now with no issues for her 5k runs.
No knock, no weird problems.
My sonata has more tight requirements for filter, so I stick with oem for that one.

Found it - early 2016, right at 2 years. Much shorter time frame than the Supertech oil filters manufactured by Champion Laboratories.

With my Jeep, I couldn’t agree more sadly. My truck uses it’s own bypass and could care less.
