I have one here purchased with $2 coupon I mentioned, made November of 24 in US. Unlike the topic filter, the PL coo hasn't changed. Never will get a deal on it though like I got at RA with topic filters. Settle for getting one every once in a while, in the CQ price range.
Yep, that's the way the silicone adbv on these look post use. Wipe the oil off, look like new and still very pliable. Good for significantly longer than ~5.5k miles here.
Awesome, that confirms it then. Thanks
Very nice and did you catch the date code?
As this lot purchased from RA before change of coo, (upside down) 4th pic from top, Jan 2020.
I try. I realize that when it comes to Puro filters, there's areas viewers want to see. I try to make them as clear as I can for viewing.
I'd say it depends on how bad, deep or sharp the dent. I've used one of these before with a minor impression (from shipping) on the dome, no issue. Without a pic, difficult to say definitely, but if you shake/twist the can and no sound that's a good sign. Beyond that, if still in real doubt about it, best to pass on using.
Yep, not the same filter now. I wouldn't even consider using one. I doubt Bosch cares, but rather an embarrassment to have their name on it now. And still calling it "Premium",
. Glad I grabbed second order of 6 US made from RA just before the change in coo.
Thanks for posting. Roughly how much media area? I’m trying get a feel for the range of media area in that can size.
Media area not something I do standard practice with c&p. I'll just say in my observation of the 14610/7317 application size, it's plenty. As my vehicles well maintained, holding capacity not a concern for me. As an aside, in the past used many OG Wix/(Napa Gold) label 5/7356 with thread/base end bypass piece, had significantly less area than topic, and never concerned me. Posted c&p always looked good.
That's reasonable. I need to guard that my curiosity with relative differences in media area doesn't lead me astray. It quite possible for a lower-area filter to perform quite well if the media is good.
