in service 6000 miles

out/off: 6 quarts Valvoline Extended Protection High Mileage 5w30 with Purolator Boss PBL22500

in/on: 1 quart HPL Engine Cleaner 30 and 5 quarts Valvoline Extended Protection High Mileage 5w30 with Carquest Premium 84502

these filters are built very well and are M+H’s top of the line. just wish they could build efficiency as well as they did the rest of the filter. i’d say these are the best constructed filters of the american companies second only to premium guard XL.

IMO Carquest would be second since it sounds like that's based on efficiency. Efficiency being officially known on the Boss would put it at #1. Boss having reinforced "Smart fusion" media is another great aspect over the PG. PG is hard to beat if you get them for a reasonable cost. As for the c&p...boring=good.

Thanks for the photos. These look good but regardless I don't see the point of running a tennis racket on an expensive equipment. OEM might do better for less. Good call on the Carquest, those are a solid replacement.

The only problem with PG is while they do have amazing QC they do have some issues with excess glue at times, I also noticed the correct specified filter for my Chevy had a bypass valve which is not correct, 4.3 Vortec's have the bypass built in it should not be on the filter.

I personally will not use any M&H made products until they fix the QC all throughout their brands.

I do like both filters..honest. PG's are hard to beat & are the excellent competition we've needed for a while now.

If I had to choose; I’d take CarQuest premium over BOSS anyday. Sorry, not sorry

No, BOSS wouldn’t make list. Donaldson white and Blue can would

If made for a persons application, absolutely. I wasn’t going for all oil filters above the boss, just the main ones talked about lately readily available for vast majority of peoples applications

I would imagine we may have different needs for filters eh? That was my long winded version of saying the Boss would beat the Carquest. Now you've given me twice to say it.

All good, we like what we like. Carquest are great filters as your numerous c & p's have shown here on BITOG.

Whoa! How many needs? You are overthinking this sir.

it really is unfortunate because if you cut a Boss apart, it is built like an absolute tank with tons of pleats. they really just need to tweak the media. i love the M+H base plate. it’s super heavy duty and their ADBV is soft as it gets. fram’s perfect seal gasket sticks every time. M+H’s gasket releases everytime with ease.

Reinforced media is hard to beat. but yeah, I need to buy some more pg's. Have a stash of Fram Ultra OG's on the shelf too.

Here's the official Spec Sheet on the PBL22500. The official ISO 4548-12 efficiency is 99% at >46u. The Carquest is better than that.
