Purolator PL20195 @ 4096 miles

[MrQuackers]

Oil used was a mixture of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-20 & 5w30. Top-off more Pennzoil Platinum. A cup of MotorKote added midway through the OCI. 547 miles before the end of the OCI a 16.9 oz bottle of Rislone Concentrate was added.

Date code:

Media did not look too bad except the the seam area.

Wait a tic, what is this?

The media was torn on both sides of a pleat adjacent to the seam. My fault, I exceeded 3k miles.

All classics,P1's, and common tearolator made filters should be recalled and put in the recycling bin, then put the fancy new filter line on the shelves and cross fingers.

I wouldn't even put the new fancy **** on any store shelf until they were tested like FRAM filters are

But, I was told this was made up and I should use these filters with confidence...

Engine didn't blow, so these filters are good to keep using, right?

We should do a petition and send it to them.

Look at the "Date Mfd" column. Seems to still be going on.
