Purolator Boss Bad ADBV?

[grandregal]

Hi guys,

I changed the oil and filter in my 04 350z 2 weeks ago with Mobil 0w-40 and a purolator boss from Advance Auto. I have put about 500 miles on it since and anytime I wait more than 20-30 mins to restart my car it takes 2-5 seconds for the oil pressure light to go out. I'm a field rep for work so I start my car about 10-15 times per day. Prior to this change I had a fram ultra and do not recall experiencing this problem. Would this be indicative of a bad ADBV? and if so how big of a deal is it? should I change it out right away or is it insignificant? Thanks in advance!

Does sound like a leaky ADBV. Wouldn't need to change the filter out instantly, but if you're leery about it then I'd put a different filter on the car and see what happens.

First of all Welcome to Bitog...
A quality filter is a must Use the ultra or Napa Gold they are both good filters.

Welcome to Bitog fellow NY'er! 500 miles on the filter. I'd swap it with a Mobil 1 or Fram Ultra filter, and complain to Purolator, their quality sucks lately. Maybe more complaints will wake them up!

Smart choice of the oil! Z33 owners always have superior uoa's with 40wt's.

Thanks for showing love guys I've been lurking around here for a while but never had any reason to post. From everything I've seen recently it seems like purolator has fallen out of favor. @aquarius Thanks! All the UOA's I was able to find seem to agree so it's really a no brainer to go with the 40wt since it costs the same.
