Fram Ultra vs New WM Purolator 25K ?
- Thread starter ChrisD46

The way things are going with Oil Filters, just go ahead and buy the cheapest oil filter. The reason I say this is we have seen issues with the more expensive oil filters. Forget about the Fram Ultra, just go with the Fram Orange, same thing with Purolator, just get their cheapest oil filter.
New Mobil 1 filter. No need to choose between M+H or First Brands anymore at Walmart.
Purchased at Walmart for $11.44.
Definitely gives me Pentius vibes to be honest. Most likely VAFI built(made in Vietnam). Some models are made in South Korea. A little extra glue but otherwise a high quality build. Much better than the previous M+H made M1 filters. Highline Warren is handling the warranty on these.
Tomorrow I’ll cut out the media and get measurements.

I would get the new South Korea/Vietnam made Mobil 1 oil filters.
Until Purolator decides to improve their customer service and improve their quality control I will not use their products. And maybe they did improve the 20K design but I see no evidence yet will need to wait for C&P's.

I'd probably take the Ultra over a torn ADBV or torn media 
Well, if I chose the P25 I’d choose the “shorter” 3614, vs the 3600. 
Off topic: I’d get the new M1

I think you mean 20k? I don't think either offers a 25k mileage rating. I'd not run either that long so either would work fine & the cheaper one would probably win.
My mistake - it is indeed a 20K oil filter .
