You’re kidding, right? If I had more time, or even cared..I’d link at least 100 threads ripping on anything purolator. As soon as I saw this thread posted, I knew it was going to go one of two ways and page 1 didn’t disappoint, or every page after. Take my “jobber filter” reference out of the post.
I would rather run a $1 jobber filter that didn't tear than a Purolator. The poor reputation of that brand is well earned and lots of C&P to prove it.
I’ve got royalty purple Hps and a purolator boss in and on a car right now. I’ll let you know when it blows. Not running your oil till it looks like it needs to be returned to the ground or keeping a filter on till it welds itself to the engine makes a difference.
Those won't tear media since the media is backed. The Boss might add a bit more wear if you don't do short OCIs.
Same here, no evidence of any change. Based on comments, seems 'at this point', roll out very limited. 'Perhaps' just limited test market areas for now. Otoh, the ~$13 oil bypass rippled leaky seal area FE Endurance spin on still well stocked locally.
Yes the way some people blindly support that brand is quite remarkable.
If one has had solid results with "that brand" and posted all c&p as evidence does that qualify as "blindly"? Asking for a friend.
I have the opposite syndrome. I have a large stash of oil (bought from that Tractor supply sale a while back).
Clearly a POS, sure to rip open and dump massive amounts of grit into your engine, destroying it in short order.Brand new supposed super filter.
it’s just a junk M1 in a gold can.
Neither are Boss filters. Why use one with such a low published efficiency?
I wasn't aware of low efficiency to be honest. They were priced right and seemed well built. I'd never run one, or any filter the 20k they state. My oci is more in the 5-7k range
