Well, in the home; a thinner air filter increases the replacement frequency.

Did the recommended replacement interval change, along with the design?

The same thing happened to a box of Cherrios. Same box, half the product. And twice the price.

You missed the other thread we had on this, but it's all good.

Prevailing theory is that due to material and production issues, the filters have been "downsized" a little to maintain a good flow of new vehicles and replacement parts.

Theoretically, they should go back to the "normal" sized ones when stuff gets caught up. Whether or not they will is going to be something we should all keep an eye on.

“Supply Chain Issues”….Translation: The latest excuse being used to send more $ to the top 1%. Eventually, the USA will look like some South American country where 90% of the people live in poverty and and the top 10% are in mansions with iron fences, gates, and security.

this is the other way they can save cost in manufacturing without increasing the price. people just don't realize they are being cheated on.
