Hard to believe these are usually turds but it looks far better than the Fram Titaniums you did.
AMAZING. some of these have been very nasty in the smaller sizes.

And what COO?

And what COO?

Must be non-USA since it has straight pleats.

It could be a counterfeit USA filter made in China which guarantees quality.

And what COO?

These are made in China filters. Center tube is steel with large holes. Not too bad OP; Thank You for cut and post

Please wear gloves to reduce risk of skin cancer.

I don't wear gloves when doing my oil changes, just wash hands thoroughly, hate those latex gloves.

Me either but I do wear a condom

Condom makes it harder to break the filter free.

I find that gloves grip better than oily skin does. And prevent "mechanic's nails."

Edit: Just to clarify, these are NOT my nails!

Unlikely. Purolator has never used a coil type compression spring. Looking at topic filter, I'd lean more to an off shored (eg, China) manufacturer. Does look good, decent jobber filter.

As for gloves use for an oil change, I wouldn't do one without them now. Before latex gloves use became a thing, (many years ago) I went gloveless. So readily available and inexpensive now, SOP for me. To each their own.

Thanks for c&p.

Lot of the PZ-38 and the above filter made in China and or India

I’ve always wore rubber gloves. Better to be safe.

Looks like a PG to me at this distance.
