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

[ZeeOSix]

Claims 99% efficiency with no micron rating on the box or website.

It must be "proprietary".

 

[ZeeOSix]

Interesting that they're using Fram part numbers instead of their own

Must mean Fram is actually making them ...

The one I took out of the box had louvers.

Yep, the box photos and the Purolator video are both depicting louvers.

Well here's a look at a local WM in the twin cities this evening. Hard to tell if the Endurance shelves are the same or reduced. On a side note found some random jugs of PUP above the marine oils. I thought PUP was online only. Might of been old stock or a return. PUP hasn't been on the shelves here for a couple years at least.

Purolator is still great! Plain and simple

All the pictures of them with torn pleats for the last 10 plus years says otherwise.

If only Project Farm would test oil filters..

Ordered.

Cold oil filter races!!

I'll give them a go.

Interesting how Purolator is keeping the Fram style of part# instead of using their own style.........

Not the first time it's been done by them. When Puro made a filter called the Total Grip (red texture coating) for Advance Auto, it too used the Fram numbering system. It does make it easier for those used to using the Fram numbering system. And that numbering system likely the most common one in the US.

As for tears, zero seen in my multiple c&ps of the PL/L14610/612, US Bosch Premium 3323 since started purchasing again in 2019. Even the recent jobber TL14610 series c&p no issue. And in those smaller applications, adbv center doesn't touch the inlet holes, no chance of indention or cuts. Including Boss c&p, in my observation really seen very few with adbv cuts. As for louvered tube, it's all US made Puro uses and has for a while now.

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

I was just referring to the specs/attributes I posted HERE. Other than "Exceeds OE Performance" I'm not certain about efficiency.

 

[KCJeep]

OE performance is vague also. In what way? Efficiency? Structural integrity? Better paint?

 

[BrendanC]

ordered for delivery this afternoon.

 

[Fair enough]

Nice box, people will be grabbing them I expect. Purifies the oil 99% 20,000 miles, Purolator sounds like oil filter, I take it.

Walmart showed today delivery, will post pics of side-by-side comparo of this new Purolator vs. the Fram Endurance....stay tuned. Maybe I'll toss it up on my YouTube. Maybe I can do some garage testing I concoct!

 

[Nuclear_42]

Well I received an email response and they do not provide spec sheets anymore. I called their CS and received the same answer. However the employee did state the closest thing they can provide is in general plain paper media filters provide 21 microns @ 99% and synthetic blend media are around 35 microns @99%. I think she was trying to give me a hint. Well I told them I was disappointed because they did release info in the past. Assuming the media is similar to the ONE filters it’s possible the rating is 21ish microns @ 99%.

That’s pretty vague unfortunately. I have pure one spec sheets showing 99%@30 and others 99%@23. Thanks for the attempt.

I am almost convinced that TiGeo = Project Farm.

interesting. guess they don’t want us doing our homework anymore. shame they don’t even list an efficiency on the box

I'm looking forward to seeing the cartridge filters. I've been buying the FRAM TG11955 for my F-150.
