Purolator One PL11403 used oil filter cut open

[Alex123]

With all the love for the PG filters I wanted to see a new(er) USA counterpart cut open. So I bought this at Menards (4/4/26) for $7.99

Purolator One 99% at 20 microns.

What do you guys think?

PL11403 - date code F12R07C1 (December 7th 2023)

I'd use it. Got one on my shelf right now next to the P-Boss. Need to decide which to use with the next diet of Valvoline Restore and Protect for my Suzuki.

Black glue of death. Hard pass for me.

 

[Zee09]

I think it looks @fantastic

 

[Hootbro]

Looks decent. Just wish I could trust them on a running average to be that good.

This ONE is certainly very clean & in excellent shape. We've seen many with too much glue. I still use them & buy them at Menards as well.

 

[EvoMan]

Looks good to me. I’d run it.

I have had Royal Purple filters absolutely polluted with glue and even on the media.

I don't have a M+H/Purolator Spec Sheet for the subject PL11403 filter, but the Purolator Spec Sheet for the PL30001 (shows 99% @ 25u) doesn't match their website claim. Construction on this example looks pretty decent.

Misleading marketing that is so often mentioned.

I've seen your pictures.

This one looks OK. Much better than the last 8 M+H USA-made filters I've cut open, but there's still some excess glue on the end caps that could come off during use.

I've seen your pictures.

I hope i was decent

Since you asked and allowing for unused, I think it looks good. I've been using RA purchased the US made Bosch Premium 3323 (pre coo change), PL14610 virtual clone, all have been solid with c&p. Have another cut open waiting to post, hopefully get to it soon. I still have, a PL/L/TL 14610 in stash purchased on Amazon with coupon clip and/or markdown.

Thanks for c&p, nicely done.

I think the info that doesn't match the M+H specs is left over from before M+H acquired Purolator. Nobody cared to clean up the website's technical info.

How many have called to check that particular model number & mentioned it doesn't match their sheet? Kind of ridiculous, isn't it?

The M+H Pres will probably have them take the efficiency footnote off the website like they did for the Boss, lol. At this point, the only Purolators I can find an efficiency spec footnote for is the PurolatorONE (PL30001) and the red classic filter (L30001) at the bottom of those two web pages.
