Good looking filter, looks like the P1 of old (aside from the well opened louvers vs holes in the center tube).

Car51 - thanks for the informative cut & post.
It appears M&H- Purolator is doing something right.
Since my trust factor is a tad low, I will save the champagne for later.

Thanks for the C&P.
The observation I have isn't about the filter; it's about the BITOG bias ...
If this were a Fram, people would complain about the wavy pleats. But it's a Purolator, so they fear the potential torn media.
Bias is a fickle master.

For the miles used nothing to complain about for the owner. Must be the Hyundai version is a bit different than some others.
This ADBV looks more concave on the base plate side, and the 4 ribs helps keep all but the outer circumference lip from contacting the base plate. Maybe Purolator changed the ADBV design to fix the hole cutting issue.
The adbv thick middle part doesn't appear to spill into the inlet holes on this one. I don't know how their sales are, but I seem to be the only one here who bought the expensive Boss to try. Lots here buy Fram Ultras. After returning four Boss, I got two that look OK on the louvers and anything else I could see.

Based on this one thread?
What other proof do you have?

Yep, I'll believe Ram02's statement when I see Purolators that won't tear

Have you ever seen a torn Purolator 14459 or 24458?

Yes, saw a torn 14459 that was off my cousins 11' Sonata before I had a smartphone and pre BITOG. Had 4,xxx miles on filter

Thanks for that info! None of mine ever did, but I probably was easier on them than a lot of people would be. That was because I avoided high engine speeds soon after cold starts, didn't often need to start in very cold weather, and used them on a car that probably had relatively modest oil pump output.

Will Purolator learn from Fram? Time will tell.
