I Was at Walmart and noticed the Fram Ultra air filters with part numbers starting with XGA. Has anyone seen them? Is it just a rename of the Tough Guard ones, or did they do changes to the media? Im guessing they just did a rename of them, but who knows.
Fram Ultra XGA Air Filter?

I looked at some of them. It looks like just a rebranding of the TG air filters. Nothing wrong with that since they are good filters. For example, the new Ultra XGA4309 is identical to the Tough Guard TGA4309, both being the same yellow oiled media, both made in Mexico, same price before and after the rebranding.
However, Fram did eliminate some applications, though. For example, there is no XGA7351 (and the old TGA7351 had non-oiled media that was white in color)

No haven't seen them yet but they have a whole pot load of air filters and cabin filters they are clearing out at the end of the isle
Wait they are oiled? I thought they were paper

They are *very* slightly-oiled paper media. NOT like K&N at all

I bought one for my Jeep. I have an email out to Fram Support and they're getting more details later this week, they're going to email me them.
I'll make a post with pictures when I get the details.

While I quit using Fram oil filters decades ago, I have no beef with their air filters. Been using their lowest price Frams from WM exclusively on all our vehicles with no problems.

None of the engines burn or leak oil. None of the engines have had any oil lubricated parts worked on.

I brought this posting forward because I was checking out the Fram Website and it said the Fram Ultra air filters are exclusively available at Walmart. That was news to me.
