This is a Purolator Pure One PL14459 with unknown miles. I put this on my mom's 2011 Subaru Tribeca, and I usually change the oil around 6-7k miles, so it has somewhere in that ballpark. I'm pretty sure I used Mobil 1 5W-30. This filter sat outside in the elements for a long time, maybe as long as a year, before I cut it open. There is some waviness in a few of the filter pleats, but as far as I can see there are no tears. I compared the bypass spring of this filter to that of a OEM filter for this car by pressing it with my finger. This one is much lighter, and is a larger diameter. Honestly I personally prefer a lighter bypass pressure, but to each his own.

Thanks for deciphering the date stamp!
