$179/qt ... I'd pass! (j/k)

Originally Posted By: labman One fact I do have straight is the foreign ownership of Purolator. Buy American. I agree ... that's the only thing you do know.

Originally Posted By: modularv8 The media in the FL-820s is thicker than the media used in the pure one and purolator classic. I researched this topic a while back and found Purolator has several filter media (micronic) patents. There is enough volume in the Motorcraft filter line to justify...

Originally Posted By: OVERK1LL So, on the odd occasion, I'm getting some noise on start-up. This is primarily when the truck is cold; after sitting overnight for example. It doesn't do it every time. And when it DOES do it, it lasts a few minutes. It also has not done this before. So, I went to...

Originally Posted By: Shannow Positive displacement pumps don't flow much less as resistance rises, until you get the filter into bypass. A positive displacement oil pump will still flow the same amount to the filter/engine circuit if the filter is in bypass or not - as long as the pump is...

Originally Posted By: cchase I wonder why they couldn't replicate the metal screen in plastic so there were fewer high shear points between supports in the media. Yep ... all they have to do is reduce the window area in the center core, and also ensure the pleats are packed tight enough so...

Originally Posted By: webfors I trust the seal on the left for the same reason I trust the seal on an air filter that has a pliable/soft gasket. You can actually see an imprint in the 'fiber' end cap from the pressure leaf spring on the left filter. There is also no 'play' in the round whole...

Originally Posted By: labman The oblong inlet holes are long gone too. Some Purolators still have oblong inlet holes in the base. 14610 does for instance.

Originally Posted By: webfors I personally like to see the 'fiber' end cap sealed to the pressure spring over metal on metal like I've seen in a few filters I've opened. Not following you on that ... care to explain some more?

Originally Posted By: Bill in Utah Do I use them today? No unless I can get them cheaper or on a deal. (my Dad's Honda Powered Vue will get one on his next oil change) NOT because of their construction since it does not matter (I've proven that) but because of the cost. So what do you use...

Originally Posted By: Bill in Utah What about Honda and Subaru who go to places like Fram to have them manufacture their OEM filters? Why would they go to a company that only builds filters to fail? Interesting mindset. Bill Lowest bidder? From the photos I've seen of cut open OEM Subaru...

Originally Posted By: Bill in Utah Don't need to contact Fram. Their legal dept and the motoring public will make sure the filters they are recommending will work just fine. If something happens, they will cover the repair. Just like Champ, Bosch and every other filter manufacture. And they...
