I bought 4 PurOnes, last night from AAP using the $10off $25 purchase. They ended up costing $3.99 each. I took the only 4 they had.
Went home and inspected them:
One had a nice size metal splinter left over where the theads are.
One had a grippy paint glob on the bottom of the can where the oil inlet holes are. I had to scrape it off for a few minutes careful not to get it in the filter.
All of them had paint speckles on the rubber washer that seals the filter to your engine. I had to wipe those down.
I feel like everything is cheaping out. Companies only seem care about turning a a buck and dont give a [censored] about quality control. I am not saying I will never use a PureOne again I just not impressed. May have to stick with my WIX. Bottom line is w/out inspecting and cleaning these you would be putting all kinds of [censored] in your engine.
I almost forgot to mention the last batch I bought before these. When PureOnes first because the yellow color. The earlier versions of this filter had like gold glitter in the paint, that glitter was all over the inside of the filter and I took them back. Atleast they got rid of that glitter [censored].
Well that is enough of my mini rant, just had to say something because I was PO'ed wabout the QA of these suckers.
