The only "problems" they have live in biased thoughts.
Like I've said before, post up any link anywhere on the internet that shows a blown-out Purolator filter.

What about WIX and NAPA Golds that have no seal at all between the base end bypass valve and the media end cap ... those probably leak more than a little abraded media.
There was zero poof of any leakage, as there was zero proof that there was a hole there ... nothing like the solid proof of seeing a giant blow-out hole in multiple cases in E-scraps posted in this forum.

I highly doubt it leaked from what i can see.

As long as you deny plain evidence, I guess there will never be a problem.

While I give American products every chance I can, I am not 100% buy American either. On a $3.50 filter, the labor may only be pennies. When I managed a factory, I saw product costs. My guys didn't get near what went to corporate over head and profit. That is why an assembled in Mexico NPS may be better for American than a Purolator made in America.
The big fancy houses the Wix, Champ, Fram, and Clarcor fat cats live in were built with American labor. The sawmills too.
US manufacturing labor ran about 4-7% of costs of production. About par with corporate profits. In my old company, something that was $40/lb (dye) had $0.50/direct variable labor and about the same in fixed indirect labor charged to it (maintenance, etc.). Keep in mind that, at peak, about 180 direct mouth breathing grunts were supported by 450 non "labor" (engineers, lab techs, chemists, accountants, buyers, salespersons, HR, administrative assistants,) ..all perfectly "deserving" of living wages ..while the guys handling the caustic, cleaning out the dust collectors, bag houses, dumping the pigments into the tubs
..were all low life's that didn't "deserve" to make a living and 100% responsible for the downfall of our standard of living through outsourcing off shore.

in China, factory workers make less than $200/month and work 10 hrs a day 6 days a week (60 hour weeks)
I just want to point out that I have never heard of even one real quality problem with PureOne filters. I ahve personally held in my hand NAPA Gold, Fram, and other filters that had defects. Never a P1 with a defect.
Also, I have gone 10K on P1 with no observable loss in oil pressure on startup or otherwise.
D@#* good value.

The problem is then they turn around and sell the part here at 1st world prices. I'm not saying Chinese factor workers are doing well but $200/month in china probably goes as far as the $8-10 a lot of factory workers are getting now in the US. Besides there's very little labor in mass produced parts. Outsourcing is totally unecessary and harmful to the US economy. And of all the places to outsource to a lower labor country, why does it always have to be half way around the world in china?
