Purolator Tech TL12222 (Made in China) Cut Open

[Hootbro]

I have for your amusement a cut open Purolator Tech TL12222 oil filter that was in service for 3600 miles on my 2025 Jeep Gladiator 3.6L Pentastar. Filter was installed a on Baxter Performance oil filter adapter with Chevron Delo 400 XSP Synthetic 5W-40 grade oil used. Seems to be of decent quality but it would not be a Purolator without some excess glue oozing out. ADBV appeared to be nitrile but was still very much soft and pliable and would have easily been fine if take out to a 5K mile OCI.

Installed was more Chevron Delo 400 XSP Synthetic 5W-40 grade oil with a Precision Parts (Premium Guard) PPG2500 standard oil filter.

[fantastic]

At first I thought you went 9,800 miles, as marked on the oil filter, on this Tech. That'd be really living on the edge. ha!
Filter looks good & I'd use it too if the price was right along w/short interval such as yours here. Thanks!
