My Walmart has dropped the Endurance for a new 20k Purolator

[BrendanC]

someone should ask for a 10575 sized filter efficiency

Specific one I asked for in my email!

I used to be able to buy a Fram Ultra XG9972 full-synthetic for $8. Now they are blends.

I thought they were one of the lone holdout part numbers still using the original media. Bummer.

 

[Faawrenchbndr]

I think I stay with MicroGard Select

let us know!

Micron rating will be key. Has to be at least 99%@25. Then we’ll check out build quality.

I won’t use them. Baldwinsnor OG ULTRA or STP CL and CarQuest premium for me. Or prime guard

 

[BrendanC]

i will go buy one for a virgin C&P tomorrow

Exactly. Very stiff competition at this price range. But I’ll keep an open mind.

Tell me again why some of you folks hate on the Boss?

because of the commonly torn ADBV on the Boss. You will often see a slit in it

For me it’s the 99%@46 micron efficiency. Plus the occasional closed louvers but those can be checked pre purchase.

Nope the re-formulated Ultras are now blends and once were 100% synthetic. :-(

I knew Fram made that change to the XG line, but the XG9972 seemed to retain the original wire backed media. I bought one a couple months ago at Walmart. I have not seen the new blend version yet, though I don’t doubt the change.

The SuperTech ST9972 seems to be an option now. Synthetic media, although not sure of the efficiency.

Great pictures and detective work @Glenda W. Anything is better than a TG....

 

[Reloader59]

Yep Purolator is still garbage plain and simple.

Purolator is still great! Plain and simple

Very sad that I have use my old new stock.

Thanks, I'm interested

Because of the Fram wavey spring issue I'm giving the Pur Boss a try on a few of my vehicles.

Try Advance auto parts, might get lucky with a Fram
Titanium FS9972

 

[Slick3914]

Gold Percolators are back!

 

[I<3oil]

It should come as no surprise they chose the gold color to "match" the Fram Ultra's along w/its 20k mileage rating.

This is important & should keep costs down. I'm sure theirs some foreigners in the mix though.

Not by the specs. Perhaps the price?

What specs are you seeing for the efficiency that leads you to believe it won’t be better than the Boss?
