Right. I think he was asking about WOT restriction though...max restriction the air filter can give.

Thanks for the input on that. I'm considering switching to the PureOne from Motorcraft and I'm sure you can see I have an '01 Grand Marquis myself. (Don't know if my airbox and filter are the same as your Vic though)

I wonder if the same can be said of OEM for my 5th gen Honda, or if it's really just another brand manufactured as a re-bandaged product for older vehicles, then sold as OEM?
On topic:
I have been considering alternatives to the K&N air filter I'm currently using, if my silicon numbers don't change.
Is this Purolator a P1 or classic?

EDIT: Found out, it's a classic. 96.5% efficiency rating.

If you can get one, I like the OE motorcraft filters, they seem of very high quality. But we do have a PureONE on the Expedition, seems high quality as well.

I agree. I've used both Fram and Purolator on my Mercury and both appear to be very good filters.

i have a pure one on my focus right now. fit like a glove. will definitely go with purolator again!
which is more than i can say about my brand new afe pro dry sitting on the floor in the garage
so does purolator make the motorcraft air filters too? and would the motorcraft version be similar to the classic or the pureone?

Almost all Motorcraft filters are Classic...
I was at my local advance auto last night..looking at pureone air filters. I have a 98 corolla. The pureones boxes rate thier air filters at 99.5% effieicnt, and the regular purolators at 96% i think i saw. At walmart, the fram air filters, just advertised 2x the dirt capacity, and the tough gurads hade no efficiency rated.
I got a dealer air filter, back in april. It was much better quality than the NAPA silver, made in poland
plus the napa silver air filter, the sie seals, were loose and came off easy.
Ide imagine, the pureone air filter at 99.5% eficiency would be blow even the TG or dealer filters away in and by comparison.

I personly have used p1 air filters. They are a great filter for the price, if you get a restriction gauge. Other wise you are wasting your money.
Im on my 2nd one. The fit and quality for the ones i have used have been exelent.

I don't agree with this. I put a pure one in place of an old Fram and the midrange pickup was terrible.
Just like an exhaust system. Cutting off your muffler won't give the power increase even though the manifolds would flow less than headers.

So your saying a pureone air filter killed your mileage? gas consumption went up?
