Purolator Classic L14477 Cut Open - No Tears!

[ThirdeYe]

Ran this for a little over 5,000 miles on my 08 tC. Mostly highway miles, summer temperatures. Time on filter: 4 days short of 3 months.

No tears. ADBV still pliable and working fine. Filter was full of oil when cut open. Oil used was Royal Purple 0W-20 and 1/2 quart of Havoline Synthetic 5w30 as top off.

I got this filter on clearance for under $1 at Meijer, if I remember right.

5k miles is very little mileage on filter.
Not surprised no damage to paper media.

I've had them tear in 5k or less.

That's an old filter

Vintage 2012 filter. I'm surprised the pleats were so straight. Thanks for the post.

Yep, back when they made them better.

Wow those filters rarely look that good brand new...

Looks fine. 5k miles in three months, lots of hwy miles and summer temps, all positive factors for media imo. Clearly got your buck's worth on this one.

Thanks for pics.

I wish I could remember when I got this filter. I might have bought it for my friend's Camry before he moved out of state that had the same engine as my tC. Regardless, it held up very well!
