FYI ... however, the PL14610 is currently in the lead for number of reported tears.

In about 8k miles, I'll let you know how mine did.
 
Can you please post pics of where the tears actually usually occur? It looks good in the pics, but they don't really show the common tear points very well. This looks like a fairly recent filter based on the date code... gives me hope that maybe they've improved. Probably wishful thinking.

Nice. Rewarded for not pulling it early.

To quote member simple gifts on the another recent similar solid P1 result, you too 'won't be let into the honeycomb hideout'. As you can see.

Thanks for posting pics.

That must be why the filter didn't tear, it was made on my birthday.

Some may argue that.

I thought I got all 360 degrees around the filter! And of course, before snapping the photos, I did look at it at all angles, and I couldn't find any rips

Oh also, the filter was originally installed near the end of March and pulled out this morning, so it was in service for 4.5 months.

The tearing usually occurs right where the glue meets the bottom of the pleats by the area that the media is put together. The end cap is covering the area in your pics. I believe you that you have no tears, but it would still be nice to see.

I'm assuming that area you mention is where the silver line is?

If it is, then I have the photos you need! Don't be concerned about the light brown wood-colored specs in the media. That's because I had already tossed in the trash and took it out of the garbage can to deliver these angles. I also rinsed it with water.

The media where they out it together still feels nice and sturdy; it didn't seem like it would've ripped in a hundred or a thousand more miles.

Anyway, I hope this answers your questions. Here are the images. One at the top and one at the bottom.

Perfect. Thanks! It almost looks like the pleat directly to the left of the metal crimp is slightly torn in the last pic, but it might just be other debris.
 
Fwiw tommy, I believed you the first time and never doubted your initial accurate observations or questioned your integrity. Extremely nice of you to go back and add pics, and rinse with water even. Completely unnecessary imo and I wouldn't have.

Again looks good and thanks for posting pics. You will be still staying out of the honeycomb hideout for this one.
 
sayjac, no problem, and thanks for believing me. But I had to do it because it's BITOG

Partially my fault for not realizing I had forgotten to shoot where the tears re known to occur.

Hopefully the new P1 doesn't tear!
 
Looks good! This makes me feel better about the Pureones Im running now.
