Another PGO C108202 filter cut open

I believe this was the from the Factory Fill on a friends new/used scooter, 2011 Buddy 125 4 stroke scooter, mileage was 660 miles.

Oil used was Motul 10w40 ester smelled like soap
gear oil changed with Valvoline 75w140

Nice straight pleats, a crimped metal seam and metal end caps, looks like decent construction. If the quality of the filter media is on par with the build quality it should be a pretty good filter.

Chinese? The apparent construction of most of the Chinese made filters has actually been pretty good around here. Efficiency is of course unknown.

Nice looking filter. Thanks for posting.

Maybe Purolator should setup a factory in China.

Ouch!

At the very least, they could get some Chinese consultants to explain to Purolator how to glue pleats in a somewhat even fashion.

As the long time half owner and current full owner Mann and Hummel already has operations in China 'perhaps' the plan after they're done gutting Purolator US is to shut down the Fayetteville plant and move those operations to Changchung and the M&H FOWAY Filter Co joint venture.

Or they could make them on the German assembly lines, which seems to be very cost effective when I look at the cost of my made in Germany Mann filters for the Audi. $5 for an OEM type Mann for the Audi versus $8 for a Purolator type Bosch Premium for the G37 from Walmart when they still had them in stock. Something's amiss.
