Purolator One PL14476 14.8 Hours

I suspect the majority of 14476 users are Toyota owners. And the design, although flawed, still has much better filtration ability than the cheap Denso Toyota filter. The Toyota OE filter errs on high flow and horrible filtration. The way the crappy Denso Toyota filter is designed, oil would flow through the filter around the edges/pleats even if the bypass valve malfunctioned. There is always a constant leak of oil around the filter media. But it seems that poor filtration doesn’t matter as much as good flow for Toyota engines.

I did a test the other day with a One and Boss filter. I heated the endcaps with a torch to pull off the endcap from the sealant/filter media. The black sealant on the One came separated pretty easily. Just had to heat it for about 10 seconds. Different story with the Boss sealant. I tried 2 times to heat it and remove it and had no success. The sealant is super strong and didn't even seem to melt. I will try again another time and heat it longer. I just didn't want it to catch fire the first time I tried.
These were both PL14476 & PBL14476

Thanks for testing that. Good notes on the Boss.

Thanks! I’m planning to try out the WIX 51394XP and I currently use PBL14476. They look almost identical on the inside. The bypass valve pressure setting on the WIX seems identical to the crappy OEM Toyota Denso filter which I KNOW does a horrible job actually filtering particulates. A preference for high flow over absolute filtering is what Toyota seems to prefer, and this seems to be what WIX XP leans toward except the filtering ability is leaps and bounds superior to the Toyota filter.

WCW cut open two filters today. The one made in Japan was full of holes in the media. The worst I’ver seen on his videos. Otherwise it was clearly well made. I wonder what they know. Maybe engines starting in the coldest weather will suffer bypass or even oil pump bypass if the media is too closed. So we use things like Ultra and Boss with full synthetic. A filter maker of quality will be sure to cover all use conditions. Just a thought.

The Boss oil filter is built like a tank. All oil filters I've ever used, it's definitely the one that's always got my attention.

Thanks for the C&P!

Thanks for the C&P!

Any chance I get...I have a cutter now.

If you're talking about the ends of each pleat having a leak path, they don't because each pleat end is glued shut.
