Virgin Purolator PBL14610 C&P

Looks very well made.
I do see a little light through the bypass valve.
Not sure how much that really matters as it seems they all leak

looks like they changed the ADBV design unless this is specific to this filter. looks great though.

Looks good, louvers are open. If you’re happy with the efficiency run em!

 

[fantastic]

Thanks for pointing out the bypass light. Love how they use color matching glue w/white media.
Louvers look good.

 

[Zee09]

Another massive failure.
Thanks for the c&p

I don't really know what the efficiency is. I see 99% from 25 to 42 microns. 25-30 is ok for me. Much more than that would be a no-go.

At this point I'd be willing to pay good money for a quality baseplate adapter with a proper bypass built-in that i could mount a good filter without the bypass.

You know I was just ribbing you
Thanks for the c&ps...

more than likely it is 99% >46um

 

[Glenda W.]

This . You can contact Purolator for an individual spec sheet(kudos to Purolator) but all I’ve seen are 99%@46 microns. OEM type efficiency.

 

[Reloader59]

Look straight on. That is not light coming through, its a reflection of light. The 2 I checked have zero light.

... The 2 I checked have zero light.

As of late, I've been checking all of my PL/L14610 filters and equivalents (Bosch 3323), all good for me too. I have flashlight test pics from my last BP3323 c&p, but as it showed no light I didn't bother posting them.

looks like they changed the ADBV design unless this is specific to this filter. looks great though.

The PL/L14610,14612 and equivalents (US Bosch 3323) and Sae thread 14477,14476 use the type adbv shown. The central part of the adbv is narrower than the larger Puro filters.

interesting, thank you for the information!

You're welcome.

 

[slacktide_bitog]

any tears in the ADBV?

 

[ZeeOSix]

I do see a little light through the bypass valve.

Still a metal-to-metal "seal". If it was actuated a couple of times maybe it would seal better, like what Ascent found in his bubble point test.

 

[Mewbs]

Looking at the photo it appears the flat spring doesn't looked like its preloaded against the endcap to keep the valve face fully closed and sealed...

 

[MetalSlug]

Can't go wrong with this filter. Either boss or STP XL go on my cobra on 1 a year oil change next.
