I work at Advance and we had this Purolator Pure One fall on the floor and get a slight dent so we had it cut open. I got curious and grabbed the Fram equivalent from the shelf and cut it open.
The Purolator just seems to be so much better built. We use this as a display so I won't be cutting the filter material apart to measure length.
The Fram is taller and the Purolator Pure One is wider, the Purolator seems to have more pleats and the drain back valve is much firmer and thicker.
The Purolator did have a metal piece inside between the filter top and the case but after lots of people looking at it, it has gone to find a new home. The one from the Fram was just placed in there and seems to be the only thing keeping the oil from flowing past the filter material. The Purolator, as you can see, has the metal covering it as a solid piece.
Forgive the fuzzy pics, the new iPhone is really hard to get a good focus.
