Purolator PureOne Synthetic Oil filters

[mauric3]

Hey guys.. any idea where you can get the purolator synthetic oil filters in the washington area? So far.. advance auto parts has the synthetic filterse from purolator but afaik there's no advance auto parts in the bellingham washington area...

Ordering from amazon would take months that last time i check. .i would like to pick it up locally if possible since i usually cross the border on the weekends..

Would the bosch distance + be a good alternative if i can't get the purolator synthetic oil filter? THe D+ can be easily bought from walmart... Wish walmart would start carrying the synthetic purolator oil filters...

Thanks!

ive neve had a amazon order take months, ive ordered through amazon from sellers in Japan etc.. couple weeks at worst has been my experience.

Bosch D+ is a fine alternative, perhaps better than Purolator synthetic

If you need oil, you can snag the excellent and expensive M1 filter with 5 quarts of M1 for $30 from PepBoys

FRAM Ultra is another good alternative

 

[ajchien]

The Bosch premium black cans are the same internals as the pure ones.

Think you are greatly exaggerating about amazon taking months for orders. Just get the Fram Ultra and be done with it. Widely available at walmart.

Thanks for the reply! I might just go with Bosch D+ since i can get it from walmart..

I think i remember seeing amazon says.. shipping in 1-2months for the purolator synthetic oil filters? Or maybe it was 1-2weeks? but i'm pretty sure i saw 1-2months ... that's why im looking for alternative..

If i'm just running the oil for 5k km.. would using the purolator classic be better over the Distance +? would using the distance + for 5k km interval be a waste of money?

Yes, a waste for sure.

 

[DuckRyder]

The PureOne and Synthetic are different filters.

The D+ looks has a red PTFE coated seal, but the base plate is otherwise the same as a Synthetic. I haven't cut them apart yet (have to run them first).

For a 5k run, I would use either the Purolator classic or Purolator PureOne. No reason to use a more expensive filter.

 

[bigjl]

Or just run the filter for two intervals as surely any decent filter can easily cope with 10k km.

Many filters in the UK/Europe might have to run as many as 20k miles and I would doubt if they are any better than the top spec filters available in NA.

Though I think they are likely to be far superior than the large number of cheap filters you have in NA.

Unless you are heading to the US for other business, the cost for time and gas to drive down to Bellingham, not to mention the wait at the border crossing, hardly makes it worthwhile.

If you are going to run 5000km OCI, get a Wix or Napa. Even a basic Fram/Motomaster will do the job; or get a Fram Ultra at Canadian Tire for extended OCIs.

after reading what my friends here say i will say that the number of BAD filters can be held in one hand. just my idea.

My local Meijer stores carries Purolator synthetic oil filters. Perhaps you have Meijer store near you, and they can order it in.

I'm planning one running mine for 2 or 3 OCI's....so either 14k or 21k total miles.

A D+ is a PureONE on steroids. Hybrid glass/cellulose media, super-strong can.

The Synthetic is just that: fully synthetic, wire-backed media.

The supposed advantage of the Synthetic (any synthetic filter) is greater capacity since it's a depth media and higher flow, even when the filter is near or at its full holding capacity.

Also, the Synthetics cost less than the equivalent D+.

We usually go to bellingham for groceries

I know its a long line up crossing but we got our nexus card in November so crossing the border is so much faster ..That's why i consider getting all my oil + filter in Walmart US as much as possible since i go there like 2-3 times a month... sometimes every week even! there's just more stuff in the US as compared to here in BC..

I was thinking of doing a Pennzoil Ultra + Bosch Distance+ combo for my 2010 honda civic r18... Would it be alright to use that combo and follow the Maintenance minder on the car? i think it calls for an oil change around 9-10k km... So would the Pennzoil ultra+ distnace+ combo be good for that long of an interval?

shops that i have went to locally usually recommends doing 6k km intervals with synthetic..

My local chrysler dealership also told me that if i want to use synthetic on our van.. i should still come every 5k km to get serviced... I'm using the purolator classic filter for the 3.6 pentastar engine + pennzoil ultra 5w30 on it... Wouldn't it be a peace of mind for just using good synthetic oil even it the interval is only 5k km?

I agree that the selection and pricing is many times better in the US than it is here in Canada. The vast majority of my oil and filter stash was bought in the States. With the prices they are offering, it's impossible not to buy

For the Civic, the PU and D+ combo will do just fine. With the MM, a good synthetic is the best way to go.

As for the shops wanting you to do 6k km OCIs, the only surprise is they didn't recommend 5k km OCIs. The MM and extended drains are a not helping their bottom line, that's for sure.

For the van, if 5k km is the required OCI, I'd stick with conventional. The main focus for dealerships is to ensure you maintain the OCI regardless of what you are using. this is more a requirement by Chrysler than anything else. You would essentially be throwing money away running synthetic for such a short interval. Once the powertrain warranty period is over, switch to PU and run it for at least 12k km.

7 (PL),10 (PSL), 13.50 (D+) around here for a Honda.

The synthetic filters are hard to find. I ended up having to order mine, could not find one in store. It said "Robert Bosch" was the supplier on the receipt, but I've never ordered a PureONE so I do not know what it would say.

We had a debate a while back about the PureONE being a long interval filter in a Honda because Purolator says its good for the manufacturer recommended interval, and Honda recommends a filter every other change.

I think any of the filters you are talking about and a good synthetic oil should be no problem for a 10,000KM (~6225MI) change.

5,000 km is only 3,100 miles. Using full synthetic for 3K miles is a total waste of oil. If I was using full synthetic I'd go at least 6K miles (10K km) on it. If your engine is pretty new and clean inside, even a Purolator Classic can go 6,000 miles.

Totally agree with the above. If your set on going only 5km on synthetic oil and a filter with synthetic media....it would be a pure waste of good oil and costly filter.

For 5km....go to a conventional lkke PYB....and a Purolator Classic or Motorcraft filter. That would be sensible economy. No sense in wasting good, hard earned money.

Which one is better the D+ or the Mobil 1 EP filters? I guess i can just use a PU 5w20 + either D+ or mobil1 ep filter on the civic and just follow the MM til it hits 15%

thanks for all the advice!

Would it be alright to switch back to conventional if you are already using synthetic?
