5th pic, 11th pleat from the top....are you sure? Im not talking about the metal shaving in between the 5th and 6th pleats.
It looks like it could be, but photos can be deceiving. OP will have to do a close visual inspection to know for sure. If it was a hole that large, I'm sure the OP would have seen it pretty easily.
If this Fram has a tear in it....thats it....game over man....there are no more filters left to use that are safe....
Why so dramatic? If DOZENS of Ultras were reported with the same repeating media failure, then guess what, people would react the same way they have to all the Purolators tearing.
To me, I don't care what the brand name is on the side. If its a good product I use it, if it's a bad product I don't use it. If it use to be a good product and problems occur that impact it's quality or performance, then I change brands and find one that meets what I'm looking for. I think the majority of people here have the same viewpoint. Anyone who keeps defending torn Purolators is obviously a major fanboy.
