As of recent (probably a week ago) Fram no longer publishes a 4548-12 for the ultra.
You do realize the 4548-12 spec opts out the microgreen and all other dual stage units as of its latest rewrite?

No Dave,I was not aware of that,thanks for pointing that out. I have a very small portion of interesting information from a 317 page document that I doubt will be found on the internet.I do not want to out the source for fear of being cut off.That could possibly change in the future.I will post some of the information from time to time depending on circumstances.
SOMS largest customer,by far,was AT&T.Fleets were purchasing this filter at far higher prices than what they are selling for now.Once fleets figured out that the filter was no longer performing to pre-2013 standards,sales were interrupted and later completely discontinued when SOMS refused to go back to the original design.To this day,SOMS states the filter performs as originally claimed. Filter orders slowed down and collapsed with time almost entirely.The only people buying this filter now are people like you and I.
Thats interesting info - without sources and context its hard to give it credibility as it doesnt say much on its own.
You say "fleets" - which others have jumped?
I suspect Norb is onto something - but he only seems to pick on certain filters in the lineup - suggesting that some have changed but not others.
looking for info - not confrontation.

- were on day 4 now - no change from fram.
