Donaldson P169071 Filter pictures

If a Purolator cost $18 what in the world does a Donaldson sell for?

I also notice that filter says made in the USA, my Amsoil EaO for my Jeep says made in Mexico.

It's always funny how we're always in a top that keeps on spinning in oddities.

btw- on my EaO57 (ph3614) I can find no "made in" anywhere

These filters cost me a hair over $16 /each, less than the PureONE's.

I just bought a couple of filter cutters from Summit. I'm going to start cutting used filters when I get back to Bolivia.

The can really pops apart from the pressure on the anti-drain valve. I don't know what temperatures the valve withstands, but it starts out very strong.


Fantastic construction!

I just sold one to a buddy of mine for his 525RWHP Mustang.

I don't understand why they don't use silicon ADBV.

As I understand synth media with lots of glass is brittle, and folds are wide radius bends so most mfg put the screen mesh on the media which you noted.


You wanna see a teardown? Here you go!

You are right Johnny, I have two Ea's 042 and 015 for my Jeep and to my surprise both say "Made in Mexico", which makes sense since Donaldson has a huge factory in Monterrey. The sad part, is that I can hardly find the P16071 here and if I'm lucky, I'll have to drive 80 miles and pay $25 Dlls. for each.

So much for NAFTA

Apparently much is one way.

We had an oddity due to NAFTA laws/regs at my last non-job. The Mexican plant has to send all of their scrap back to the USA. The president of the company finally figured out he could have it shipped to a landfill in Texas or some place instead of trucking it all the way to PA.
