Sorry, but are you saying the Purolator One filters are the ones to stay away from? I just put one on a few days ago

BTW - If you call or email Purolator today for the efficiency of the Boss or 20K filter, they will tell you they can't say. Wonder why, lol. If it was good, they would be telling everyone.Decided to find out from purolator, what micron rating the 99% claim was filtering. I was kind of shocked that they’re the same as the boss filters…46 micron rating. Insane
The safe bet is to avoid anything M+H made all together.
Of the Puro’s the Pure 1 is the best bet as long as the louvers are open. I just put one on my Mustang.
. The one I took off looked great when I cut it too.

When I looked up the Puro 20K, it came back with the number of LX3614. The 3614 is the same PN as for the Fram XG3614 I used for many years, which was, IIRC, rated at 99% @ about 20um. Strangely, it's wearing the same gold paint as the Fram XG?? Looks like the20k filter number for my Honda is the same deal. ***? I haven't been following the whole Fram debacle, or any of the others, but wonder if Puro has taken over what was left of Fram?.I just want something equivalent in perforamnce to the XG3614 I was buying. As it turns out, the XG3614 size fits the Escape and both my lawn tractors.
The Purolator gold 20K filter is a Walmart exclusive. Purolator has no involvement taking over whats left of Fram. Premium Guard Inc (PGI) bought what was left of Fram
If you still want a filter similar to the performance of the old Ultra, there are lots of threads in this forum discussing those PGI made filters.
