Decided to add this filter to my cart when ordering stuff on amazon as it was $4.50 and wanted to try it.

Compared to Supertech and Hengst
ST (left). purolator (mid) Hengst (right)

ST made in US, Purolator made in Poland, Hengst made in Germany. The opening on the Purolator is larger and there is no felt.

ST is an ecore

Purolator is an ecore

Hengst does not have a cage

I have used the ST and Hengst w no issues. Your thoughts on the Purolator?

Should be fine if it fits the housing properly.

Rubber gasket on the Purolator feels better than the felt on the other ones but i belive all works well.

The Purolator posted here doesn't look to have a rubber gasket ... looks like a hard plastic raised rim where the others have the felt gasket.

Maybe just the e-core cage that fools my eyes. Looked just like a rubber O-ring inside the raised rim

It does look like an O-ring, but I think it's the end of the eCore center tube. Think this Purolator just "seals" on the hard plastic raised rim around the center hole.

Correct. It’s not an o ring nor a piece of rubber. It’s plastic
