These filters all come from the same Israeli factory no matter what brand
name is on the box. The factory seems to be having some sort of ongoing
problem, because all of the sudden these have been in short supply and
constantly in and out of backorder. When last I checked, Fram and Wix had
very few left, as I bought almost all of theirs after depleting my own
stock. Checker/Schucks/Kragen/OReilly probably doesn't have many left
either, as they sold me most of their inventory last month.  However, I'm
sure they still have a few on the shelf in various locations or regional
warehouses (as may other auto parts stores).

I don't know how much longer the backorder will last this time. Maybe days,
maybe months. At this point I only have about 20 filters left, so I sure
hope it ends soon!
