Been using XG's but can't make myself not change each time the oil is changes. When I use up what I have, may go with TG's..............

Same here I have my last orange can left in the stash for the Duramax!
 
On my 5w30 engines … was running two 5k OCI's on Fram Ultra … but with 0w20 and DI in V8 engines … will start to use a cheap filter change to make room for a fresh quart … having the M1 AP stash, hate to waste it … so thinking this will be my new plan …

The Ultra always has been, and appears to still be, but that does not stop people at Walmart from swapping an Ultra into a Supertech box.

I recently took out a TG10358 cartridge with >25k. It looks new (other than obviously oily), and isn't significantly plugged.

Where did they go?


Probably just sold? Maybe shipped back for repackaging?

Idk. Normally they're just sold if theres a change in packaging but SKUs stay the same.

My local AAP still has Blue Pureones (prior to the mustard ones, prior to the current lineup) still on the shelf. Tractor supply still has non grip Extended Guards on the shelf. Before KMart closed they still had Double Guards in stock.

Man, Valvoline jug I bought yesterday is a work of art, LoL …

That's how they spend the money they save by not offering rebates like their biggest competitors do.

They just sold. No clearance. Same UPCs. It's just a package redesign.
The reason Supertechs went on clearance is because the item actually changed.

Around late 2017.
