I happened to be in WallyWorld the other day and did a quick check- all Super Tech filters are gone and there is an entire rack of Purolator 'Classic' filters there instead. As you mentioned, something like $3 or $4 but they do not seem to carry the Pure One filters.
Seeing as WalMart no longer carries Rotella oil, at least the one local to me, I guess I will get used to going to the local auto parts emporium for both filters and oil. By the way, has anyone else noted the significant price increase in motor oil? I assume it is just following the price of crude oil up but it is still surprising due to the rate of increase.

After reading this thread I went to my local Wally World to stock up on a few filters in case there were eliminating them. There were absolutely NONE on the shelf. There happened to be an automotive employee right there so I asked where the ST filters were. His reply was that Walmart corporate called for them to be removed. He said all stores should have taken them off the shelf and they were being replaced with Purolater brand filters. They previously did not carry Purolater. I did see a selection of Purolater filters o the shelf and they were all priced at $3+ (give or take some change) but they did not have the correct one for the C14 or either of my 2 vehicles.
So take that for what it worth, that is what he told me.
