Purolator has many other off brands like GROUP 7, Oil filters and Air Filters also,
See,,, C/P from the Group 7 site
Group 7 oil filters are engineered and designed by Purolator with manufacturing located in Fayetteville, NC. Purolator is the inventor of the first engine oil filter in 1923, and also the first automotive aftermarket manufacturer to launch size standardizations for existing and new applications. Beginning with the first block mounted full flow spin-on filter, Purolator continues to add both new spin-on and cartridge oil filters to ensure coverage for 98% of the vehicles on the road today. These filters feature a synthetic blend media for improved performance over yesterday's filters.
Strange I cant find a Drive Works site.. However I have been told to stay away from thier ball joints.... I think for Oil filters and Air Filters, somthing easy to replace and your going to replace often its okay... but for Starts and Alternators or ball joints.. stay away from Drive works.. I have been told this from Advanced Auto parts people...
