QS 45518 Oil Filter Cut Open

[53' Stude]

Found this one in the dumpster on Thursday at work. Filter dumpster that is. Unknown miles or oil used. Not too bad I say. Made in Fayetteville NC, April 29th 2015 on "line D" and 1st shift also. As always; any questions ask away.

Champ or purolator?

That's a Puro. Unusual to see a metal seam crimp on a QS, too. Looks like it survived OK.

Come on Arco, you couldn't miss the date code in 1st pic could you??? YES, "Puro made for" filter and looks OK

 

[53' Stude]

Bullwinkle: maybe Puro is going to this metal crimp.... Or

Yet again another job well doesn't a purolater filter. Man, those puros are a great buy. I keep finding them for very cheap at Kmart even the p1s.

Purolator has always used a metal crimp on some of their models, and glued media seam on other models. Metal crimp is nothing new.

Good to know guys

Well, is that metal flash glint on one side of the ADBV, like the valve was pressed down on one side too far? Meaning the ADBV was not sealing? Or is it just oil glint? Whoever had that car changed the oil on time and it shows, to me anyway. I'm not much for praising black sludged up oil filters, just my way.

I. 6th pic; good times when I removed end plate of filter that's what I saw sir, probably a dumb amateur like me taking pics with a old I Phone. Sorry sir, I'm still learning

 

[53' Stude]

Oil glint I say

A good looking Purolator-made filter. Thanks for the C&P.

 

[53' Stude]

Anytime Sir1900

That filter looks good. I wish I could get them here, but no one here sells QS branded filters.

 

[53' Stude]

See the lengths I'll go to for "the gang" here at BITOG? LOL
