See, you are very capable of providing sage advice without bashing the heck out of something, shilling something, or annoying or bashing everyone in the thread. And you can believe I'd love to be using Bosch Premiums again at $5 an example, without any tears.

It's normal for the majority of guys here to not like tearing oil filters ... it just so happened to be Purolators. If it would have been Fram, WIX, Mobil 1, Royal Purple, etc, etc ... the "hate" for them would be the same. Once a repetative failure like tearing media happens, 99% of the people don't care what the brand name is on the side of the can. The other 1% are blind fanboys.

As far as the new Purolator line, I can see why there is some doubt. So until they prove themselves again, it's gonna be a long slow road to recovery for the guys who have a bad taste in their mouth for Purolator ... or is that PuroLATER.


Indeed..

I've noticed that Mrsandman's arguments very frequently turn in to Straw Man arguments.. instead of actually providing logical arguments to the original assertion.

For those not knowing what it is.. look here: Straw Man Argument

Perhaps a name change would be in order. Mrstrawman perhaps?
 
Back to the meat of the thread..

I don't use Puro-branded filters, mainly because I find that there are better filters out there for the price range. I primarily use Motorcraft filters, and while I know they're made in a Puro factory, I consider them a different/better filter than Puro classic, and potentially on par with Pure One filters.

That said, if someone gave me a Pure One filter, I'd probably run it.

In regards to THIS particular filter, while I don't like the idea of letting paint flakes/chips get into my engine, I think the point the OP was making was more about 'wiping down' the filter before installing it. In this case, I think that if one were to carefully wipe down the base plate of this filter, and remove the paint bits, the filter would probably be okay to run.

It would not, however be my first choice. If I had another, clean, filter on hand, I'd run that instead. Why introduce the possibility of paint flakes getting into your engine, if you have the option of another one without paint flakes?
