I have not checked my local Kragen, will do that tomorrow. The ad says that "filters up to $5.99 regular retail" are two for $7 -- the 2930 that fits the 617 is usually $11 or $12 so we may be stuck with the "alternate" price of "$2 off." That isn't much of a bargain.

Pep Boys have had "2 for $7" sales that do include the 2930. I picked up several earlier this year. They typically have four 2930s on the shelf and I buy all of them.

When you're buying the Fram 2930, look inside the box at the filter itself and make sure that there's a little painted "Made in Turkey" on the top. These filters have been found made in other countries and they aren't necessarily the same.

I once opened up a German filter (don't remember the brand) and indeed found it full of junk. Strange and disturbing.
