Purolator L24466: what does it fit?

[53' Stude]

Stopped into AAP and saw a tiny clearance rack of filters. None i could use, maybe this one though. Clerk scanned it and still was $10.99! It is 3/4 16 and i was thinking could be used on a Zetec motor.

No thanks Puro

The Zetec Purolator part number is 25230

They seemed to stop making them before the tearing issues started, so if you can actually find a 25230 on the shelf, it won't tear,but it will be too old to use.

Wix still makes the 51315, and Fram still makes the PH8316. In fact, I have a March 2018-production PH8316, and Walmart still carries it. If you want a synthetic filter for extended use, your only option is the Wix XP/Napa Platinum.

The Fram equivalent is PH2870A and they list applications it fits here. It fits some automobiles but mostly looks to be used on "equipment".

The PH2870a is used on many Volkswagens.

Slacktide_bitog: is it me or does this appear to be old production? AAP had no L25230 filters also. Rural King is cheapest place I find TG 8316

 

[slacktide_bitog]

It is indeed old production

The fourth digit of that date code indicates the year. In this case, A means 2009
F11A20C1

11 - Month (November)
A - Year (2009)
20.. th day of the month ( so in this case, November 20)

That filter is 9 years old

 

[Lolvoguy]

Yup, ran those on my BMW e30 years ago.

These days, I hardly drive/change it's oil

Yikes, that is old. Thanks for the info Slacktide_Bitog

What does age have to do with it? I just cut open a 22 year old filter I ran last year that was in perfect shape.

OLD?


I have some oil filters going on 20 years old, and I still use them.

I have never had a failure yet.

Yeah, but they're probably not Purolators

So just for fun Adam... a 2870A is dimensionally a 3600 with roughly 10# higher bypass psi.

Yeah, i kinda figured along those lines. I'll feel safer with the TG 8316
