OK... I receive my order of 20 Havoline T-48 / L14610, 23 Havoline TFC-525 / L14477... Here is my observation:

1. On one of the T-48, I noticed a little piece of rubber stick to the by-pass. I use a cutter to loose it but the piece of rubber just lose to nowhere, and I just couldn't get that piece out... So, I just decide not to use this...

2. This may be a really big problem... If anyone still remember the short center tube Purolator... Here: http://www.bescaredracing.com/sti/oil/filters/purolator/pureone/14610/DSC01608.JPG
One of the TFC-525 has the short center tube but in another direction...

I am thinking they assemble the filter in a wrong direction...!?!? So, I just decide not to use this...

I have reported some of my other observation about Purolator before: http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubb...rue#Post1061350
I don't hate Purolator, they got a good price, just not so good quality... As of today, I don't have problem with M1, K&N, Wix, even Fram X2 series...
