Yeah, the quality control can only be so good for an automated process such as in filter manufacturing. However, the overall build quality of this filter feels great to me with the exception of the wider pleats (not to be confused with pleat spacing) near the seam. I was a little worried that...

Not as wide pleating as the other pureone I saw here near the seam. Nice and even, narrow pleats around the rest of the element. I know, I know I could've used it but I didn't feel comfortable and curiosity got the better of me.. If you couldn't already tell I'm super anal about my Accord...

Hi fellow BITOGers, I've been a long time viewer (3+ years), but first time poster on this great forum. I've learned a lot from viisting this website about oil, filters, etc. Anyway, I was noticing quite a few recent posts of others having issues with media tearing due to wide pleat spacing...
