They’re currently good filters. Careful, though, this kind of question angers the museum curators.

currently we’re seeing the purolator built mobil 1 filters tearing. we haven’t seen the ONE’s tear yet so i would say run it but make sure you cut them after.
Mazda had a 2.0l engine for years and introduced the Skyactiv Engine ~2012.
The earlier engines' filter fit the Skyactiv but the bypass pressure was different for the newer engine.
It took WIX and Hastings 6 months to provide the different part to stores but they did the right thing.
I'd conclude the WIX is a known good substitute. Hastings is gone now so a Baldwin brand filter is what you'd need.
Use the "wixfilters.com" site to see their filter's bypass pressure.
If Fram Ultra has the same bypass setting, I'd consider that one too.

How is the Purolator One these days?
Royal Purple filters have priced me out. Back when they were roughly $17 each, I didn't mind paying a premium for one of the top filters you could buy. But now they're about $30 for me. And I can't justify it any longer. So I'm considering switching to the Purolator One, which everyone used to...

Purolater One VS Motorcraft AF
This is for a 2017 2.3 EcoBoost Explorer. Given the choice would you choose a Purolater One Synthetic air filter with up to 99% efficiency or the standard Motorcraft air filter. I have no idea what the efficiency of the Motorcraft air filter is. The Pur One is $1 more than the Motorcraft, so...

Purolator ONE Blue Can: is it really that bad?
So folks, I have to level with you. I'm getting filter fatigue. What I mean by that, is finding units that hasn't been cost cut, cheapened, or absorbed by another company and then cost cut and cheapened. Furthermore, it's getting increasingly difficult to find a specific "brand and flavor" of...

Purolator ONE. Did I just make a mistake?
I used to use PureOnes until the tearing thing. Then moved to Fram Ultra. Then Advance stopped carrying them and I had a gift card for Advance so I bought 2 of the blue Purolator One. I thought they would be okay but am now reading the horror stories here. I just installed one on my 2014...

99% at 17 microns! Purolator ONE PL14006
I bought a new-to-me 2001 Corvette Z06, and another C5 owner said he thought the PL14006 was 99@20. I didn't think this was true so I emailed Purolator Tech support today and was blown away by the reply:

Cut Open: 17 µm Purolator ONE vs 20 µm Fram Titanium
On paper these filters are both outstanding. The Fram Titanium FS3506 filtration efficiency is 99%+ at 20 µm, the Purolator ONE PL14006 is an amazing 99% at 17 µm! So I bought them both and cut them open to compare their construction:

Purolator One PL46128 for 6.7 Powerstroke?
Anyone have any input on this filter? I’m on my second oil change on my 17’ F250 with the 6.7 Powerstroke using this filter and had always used OEM up until discovering this baby at Menards for $7.99. Not that I want to cheap out on this truck, but seems like a “quality” filter for the price...

Purolator One PL36296 pictures (used in Pentastar)
Hey guys, I just wanted to share some pictures of the Purolator One filter that I took out of my wife's Cherokee with a 3.2 Pentastar. I know the old problems from Purolator weren't with the cartridge filters, but the Pentastar engines are known to twist the oil filter. This thing held up great...

Purolator One (10k Version) PL45526 Cut

I have a whole stash of 6-7 year old 10,000 Mile Purolator Ones, 8 to be precise, & wanted to see if the older model Purolator One PL45526 had a Specification sheet but they did not. However, I did ask them about the latest version PL45526P6 that replaced PL45526. This would be the newest 15,000...

Purolator One PL24651 (6200 miles)
Hi, after praising Purolator I have this one to show, I import these from Amazon USA for about the same price as budget filter over here. Its done 10,000km of hard work. The media was ok no tears. Have a look. Lets look closer Last 5 or so starts had rattle. I have a Bosch premium (same...

The PureOne has Puro's highest efficiency in most sizes, and is a good mid priced option. Tearing media was an issue that appears to have largely been rectified BUT check to make sure the louvers in the center tube are sufficiently open before purchasing. JMO.
I hope they weren’t living under that Baltimore bridge.
I've been using P1 clone US made Bosch Premium 3323 for a while now on Honda and Nissan. PL14610 equivalent. That's the slightly longer version of the shorty 14612 shown. All have looked great in post use c&ps here. Based my experience, I think it's a good choice.
I figured most of the latest Purolator One's have a white synthetic media these days & the Bosch Premium has more of a blend (Yellow/Tannish) color? Maybe the Bosch has changed since I've looked at them last. Are you sure there's no difference between them?

Good point KC.
I was just reading @ZeeOSix new book titled "Deciphering The Pleats" published by Random Limited Books 2023. $26.95
On page 67 the author has a great analogy where he says wavy pleats are like colon polyps. Initially they are no threat but ultimately a precursor to worse things to come if not acted on immediately.
While they may appear harmless Initially, further use would almost guarantee tears in the media.
Such a fascinating read and a very high quality book in itself Even the books spine is wire backed. All pages are printed on a synthetic blended paper. I heartily recommend it.
When has a PureOne ever had white synthetic media?
Both use a blended media, and have the same efficiency "rating". While I haven't used the PL14610 recently, past experience, viewing recent c&ps here and youtube and made same Puro plant I'm pretty confident in using the term clone. The one difference, P1 uses PTFE coated sealing gasket, the BP nitrile.
But, now that BP production moved to Mexico, no comparison to previous US made BP quality.
As far as I know they use a mix but they've used MORE synthetic media, that is white in color, on the latest One's.

Have you seen the latest Purolator One's with white media?
EDIT: To clarify the Media isn't White White but it got "Whiter" than previously or a lighter tan color when they started bumping them to 15k. I'd say more like a Light tan where before they used to be a darker tan color. Sorry for the confusion.

Understood Thanks, so to sum it up the previous Bosch Premiums were a clone of PL14610 but since Bosch moved to making the latest Premiums in Mexico there's no longer a relationship between them.
Man if my OE filter was the excellent Toyko Roki Japan I would run that exclusively.
Ten to thirteen bucks cost ? Don't fret and just find the money. Filters can be problematic and most aftermarket are junk these days IMO. Don't gamble the cost of one gallon of gasoline on something this important.
