[Cut Open] New Performax PO-37

[Texan4Life]

Got a free case of these from my BIL. So I cut one open to have a look! These fit our 06 altima. I think I like these better than the ST6607 (http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=2803504#Post2803504)

media length: 1.755 in
media depth: .375 in
pleats: 49

total area: 64.49 sq in.

Looks like a solid, well built oil filter. Thanks for posting.

Busy day for you today. This is your third filter.

Looking good.

You da man Texan! Thanks for all your work.

Filter looks really stout and well made.

Is that a double base plate or just shadow in the holes?

Hello Purolator.

Yep ... definitely Purolator DNA. The media does look different that typical Purolator though ... looks more like Mahle.

Purolator used to stamp '20' on the base plate.

Solid built filter, I like the thick and even spread media.
Thanks for posting.

Nice thick media, steel crimped pleat ends, nice big center tube holes this is a good filter for sure.

As noted definitely Purolator made. I suspect though, as a Puro 'made for' the Performax is not available in the longer 14610/7317 equivalent. Looks well made but I'd likely choose the longer Classic L14610 from Wally first for this application. Just me.

Thanks for the pics.

yeah when I changed the oil, I used a L14610. But now I got a free case and half (18 filters) of these. So it looks like I'm set for altima filters

^^^^^ Absolutely, I'd have no issue using them for that price either, or even at the $1.99 price some members pay for Quaker State filters on sale. Tough to beat for free though.
