PUROLATOR P1 PL-21495 CUT OPEN

[53' Stude]

This filter and some Mobil 1 5w30 was in a friends 2020 Cadillac SUV with 3.6 engine. I changed the oil 5,000 miles ago, put fresh Mobil 5w30 in left filter on. So this filter has just shy of 9,700 miles if I added miles correct. Looks good and Purolator used the string on this one. Put AC DELCO filter she supplied and more Mobil 1 5w30 in and on. Filter made 2019 also

Looks like it did its job just fine Stude. Thanks for posting. Love to see filters cut up and under valve cover images

Yeah, I have two STP Silver filters Purolator made still. Probably run one 5k and cut it open

Shark bite ADBV. Thing is, when the filter is together the ADBV partially covers up the base plate inlet holes. It's a design flaw that Purolator doesn't seem to want to rectify.

Exactly, I was saddened to see the cuts

Well a definite problem with that ABDV I've run one of those blue Purolator's Adam and my first one came out with zero issues. I have one more of the old gold/yellow PureOnes to use. Then I'll be back to the Blue cans.

I have a Purolator boss that has 10k off a 2019 Corolla of a lady friend that lives near me. Stay tuned!

The adbv slit issue seems more application dependent than type/tier Puro filter dependent. I use the 7317/6607equivalent applications and there is no slit issue because the central part of the adbv doesn't rest the inlet holes. Central part has a narrow raised ring that sits central to inlet holes, so no slits. This applies to the 14610/14612 applications and equivalents like the Bosch Premium 3323. In last couple years used and posted c&p all those mentioned and have a couple I haven't posted yet. No slit or tear issues seen over substantial fci. I would bet the SAE thread equivalent's of those (14476/14477) used on Toyota same design.

Other than slits which are not great, element itself including louvers looks good. Seeing the assembly string, must be a relatively large/tall filter.

Thanks for c&p.

If it doesn't cut all the way through the ADBV, does it matter?

My comment wasn't about cuts, but about if the ADBV is being cut like shown, it has to be blocking some of the base plate inlet hole area.
