Obber Posted April 13, 2012 Share #1 Posted April 13, 2012 Friend of mine just stop by the house.... said he went to 3 of the 4 Walmart's here in Amarillo to get a super tech filter for his Goldwing. He could not find any of the filters. Ask at the counter and was told they do not carry them any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickardracing Posted April 13, 2012 Share #2 Posted April 13, 2012 The Fram 6017A filters are getting hard to find there also. Advance Auto carries the Fram for under $7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonesboy Posted April 13, 2012 Share #3 Posted April 13, 2012 Our Walmart here started carring the Purolator PL 14610 and 14612 for $3.27, switched over to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right or wrong, the PureONE filters are all I have used on my bikes. Been getting them at Advance Auto, but I think this price is cheaper. Guess I'll be looking at our Wally World....

flb_78 Posted April 13, 2012 Share #5 Posted April 13, 2012 I noticed that the Walmart in Danville, KY also had almost no stock of SuperTech but instead had Purolater. These are the standard Purolaters though, not the PureOne filters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 13, 2012 Share #6 Posted April 13, 2012 Hmmmm, I still have 3 of the original Super Tech filters with the spring check valve left over from a clear the shelf off purchase that I did back in 2004. Bidding starts at 200.00 USD.........each....... :rotf: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midnightventure Posted April 13, 2012 Share #8 Posted April 13, 2012 My wife works at Walmart and she had them order me several. Later I was walking through and noticed a bunch on the shelf and I thought that I had never picked them up so I bought them all. When I got home there were all the ones I bought earlier so I am well stocked up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel Posted April 14, 2012 Share #9 Posted April 14, 2012 I use the Purolator Pureone 14612 on my Wing. I believe it's one of the top rated non-OEM oil filters available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandyR Posted May 27, 2012 Share #11 Posted May 27, 2012 I've been using the STC 7317 filters. As this thread had warned me, there were no more STC filters. OK.so I grabbed a Fram xg7317.... wrong thing to do. The Fram xg7317 was enough longer that I couldn't get it started. Went back and got a 6017A. I didn't figure it would be worth trying to convince the return items clerk that the filter with scratches on it and dripping oil was really unused and could be returned...

Guest scarylarry Posted May 27, 2012 Share #12 Posted May 27, 2012 Wal mart stopped making STF for a reason they started coming a part inside and paper was getting in the motors.. I can't say this happen on bikes, I never heard that but they did buy a few engines and I'm not sure on how many.. HQ did order all filters remove and sales to cease... There is some info on about it on google but I have not seen it nor have I looked... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is some info on about it on google but I have not seen it nor have I looked... I have used and never had a problem with the Fram filters but after reading about the way they were put together here and on other websites, I quit using them and went to the SuperTech. Now they're gone, so I''ll be using the Purolator filters from here on out. Makes no sense to push my luck with the Frams!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't heard of any problems with any SuperTech filter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest scarylarry Posted May 27, 2012 Share #15 Posted May 27, 2012 This was the first for me and I ran nothing but ST, automotive manager at wally world told me that I have no reason to doubt him... 4 to 5 years and I never had a issue....

Yammer Dan Posted May 27, 2012 Share #18 Posted May 27, 2012 Been using Fram for years. But Adfvance Auto here just quit stocking them. Guess I'll use that adapter and use screw-on filters now.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
