All the potted filters have glue inside, it’s something people are showing often. This is on the part easily seen. Does it matter if it’s in the middle rather than hiding at the ends? It looks like Amsoil says it doesn’t matter. I don’t know what vehicle this is for but Toyota filters are one of...

The PG baseplate is a copy of Purolator, but they didn’t need to spend $$ developing it like Purolator.

It’s best not to say anything when people are buying your oil filters like mad, just keep selling them. You say something and it’s off to the races online. Put the efficiency on the box to sell more and make more $$$, and keep quiet.

According to you analyzing how they should think and do. Have your fun. Pres acted on one thing explained to him, the other lines are still the same on the website.

The radius on the protrusions holds it up as the fit isn't right. I don’t get this from talking, I get it from looking at one I have. The ones tapered like this one which are protrusions on the spring, the hole needs to be a bit wider. If it had a little play in the hole for the spring, just a...

34,700 miles was read in OP, machining debris can hide in nooks and crannies a long time. It is possible. It’s assumed a 2024 is still running well. Particles seen by eye like this aren’t going through bearings or by pistons. Not in a new car. A person has to be logical, no agenda, and ask where...

I called too, and talked to them, and also email. I pointed out the discrepancy. They replied with 99%@46 microns, nothing else. That’s right, they didn’t research it. Nothing at all points to them not knowing until the pres saw the light. So they pointed out 99%@46 microns to both of us, and...

The protrusions on the leaf spring are making the ruffles unimportant. They keep the spring raised up I think. Where the light is shining through, two dark spots are seen where the protrusions are making contact. Poor ruffles. In this case sure don’t want particles of aluminum finding the leak...

Not embellishment or waiting to be caught, because they didn’t know. They were being extra helpful and nice.

Not any form of lying, only an unintentional mistake. The office staff didn’t send anything different intentionally. Now they don’t send anything, and I don’t blame them. Ask the Pres why the One is still 99%@20 microns on the site if he says the sheets are the best and most accurate.

You got all your data from Purolator information. And you call it lying? I wish VAFI CAFI or whatever it is called, could send you what Purolator was honest enough to send you. A pic of their test lab at least and some demos like our Fram does.

Mobil has VAFI CAFI, or whoever makes it, put a nitrile gasket on, it looks like it would be nitrile. It wouldn’t be to save money, it may even cost more money. Color me cautious on VAFI CAFI everything is so wonderful. I don’t see their test labs for efficiency, burst, etc, like Fram has...

$2 more is not that much. No USA made filter uses a silicone base gasket I can think of, but other types like coated nitrile and ethylene acrylic.

Bosch Premium seems good to me, but made in Mexico. Wix and Purolator are very good, especially the Boss.

I realize this.

These PG filters always look good.

You could send them an email with your numbers and see what they say. So you are saying they are a dishonest company. In that case I would steer clear of anything made by them, because anyone can write stuff on a box or website, and if it’s true or not no one knows. Other companies aren’t taking...

It makes sense if an item is a slow seller at a store, the store doesn’t order many. Eventually the manager tries different things that may sell off the shelves faster. The manager’s main job is to maximize sales and profit for their store.

The center tube must be going in on an angle on assembly, breaking the resin. I haven’t seen it on the two I cut open. But the doubt has been cast. Good idea shown to look inside the center tube for wide pleats.

His last name is Schneider, I wrote it wrong. Ok well and good but now we are here in 2025 with the same question because Fram puts their efficiency out and we are almost positive most filters are ruffled. So is their data true, or not true. They can’t look inside anymore than we can to cherry...
