Hello all Bitog'ers

Im a little puzzled at who made this oil filter

Ive read that Fram used to make Pennzoil filter's but now are made by Purolator

Any one guess at this pic i took

 

[chevrofreak]

Judging by the elongated holes I would say Purolator.

 

[Mr Nice]

10000%

its a Purolator

Thanks for the Feedback !

I wasnt to sure when i bought it...

It was with the Kragen Deal 5 qt's Of Formula Shell 5w-30 and the pennzoil filter For $12.99

!

Nice holes in that oil filter.

 

[Gary Allan]

Yep. Oval holes and the thread pitch should be those stamped numbers in between them.

Love that color!

The filter feels solid, will change oil before winter starts !

Yeah, that looks like a stout filter. Does any national retailer stock Pennzoil filters? I've never actually SEEN one before.

 

[Drew99GT]

Checker does.

Back when they were made by Fram the Pep Boys on Skibo used to carry them. It's been a good ten years since I've seen one.

Some of the Jiffy Lubes use them.

 

[ThirdeYe]

CSK carries them.

 

[river_rat]

What stores carry them in your area?

Looks exactly like the FL-910s I bought.

I have a Pennzoil PZ-34 oil filter installed on my 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4.0 I6. Does this PZ-34 filter have cardboard end caps like the cheap Frams have?

 

[labman]

Bought one at Hills once. They went out of business 10 years ago. Served them right for selling yellow cans of doom.

 

[Gary Allan]

The current PZ appears to be made by Purolator. They were Fram at one time.

You can tell by the thread being stamped into the base plate.


Yours should have a 3 hole 4 hole 16 hole (etc) or 3/4-16 on the base.

Looks like since SOPUS took over Pennzoil and Quaker State, they have used rebranded Purolators for both brands.

Not saying that there isn't one somewhere, but I have never seen a Purolator or Purolator made filter eg. Motorcraft, AAP Total Grip, Powerflo, that has cardboard endcaps. I expect the Pennzoil filter (in pic) has metal endcaps, as said it looks to be made by Purolator.
