Purolator standard filter

[Fair enough]

No good. Glad I didn’t use. As found when opened, two pieces of glue waiting at the bypass. No date code filter. I was refunded the cost due to no date code defect. The substance around bypass is oil, and the whole filters reeks of chemicals.

Bummer. Some of these were looking good. Just can’t gamble…no consistency

Thanks for the c&p

Not going to gamble either, this one is so bad.

Dang, right when I start saying these were looking decent.

It’s probably a few years old from the bad days. Purolator told me 2022 as it has no valid code. It looks older sort of can tell when something has been around awhile. Amazon gave me my money back. I have the One from 2024, but any of this observing is only one sample at a time.

Thanks for cutting

Must have been this filter you posted about back in January. Looks like there's some rust around the bypass valve on the end cap. That sloppy glue that flakes off is scary ... seems to be a theme with current Purolators and Motorcrafts (made by Purolator).

Thread 'Purolator date code can’t figure it out'

Jan 7, 2025

I have this red Purolator with date code F01004E2.

BTW while searching for answers on this code I saw Mann spec sheets being discussed a good while back. One had the classic beating the higher models.
I wish people would have told me this was a topic long ago before I went down my spec sheets journey in another thread. And yes I do appreciate the efforts to find any kind of information. One of my first thoughts is I appreciate the efforts and time spent on posts. This one took no time barely. Just a bunch of writing.

Here is the filter, I ordered it...
