I just scrubbed out of my first ever oil filter dissection and am still reeling. Much to my shagrin, I found torn pleats on the top and bottom of each pleat adjacent to the metal crimp. Filter is a PureOne 14459 after 5k oci on the '05 Sedona running Maxlife NextGen. Like some others here -- I AM DONE WITH P1 FILTERS.
Another PureOne Failure

I just UPS'd mine to them today. Interested to see what they have to say.
I'm with you though, I'm done with Purolator for now!

Maybe if they see the issue, they'll correct it. The only issue I've ever had with them is they tend to leak around the mount gasket

I still have to mail them a Defective PureONE air filter that doesn't fit properly, and turned in a really bad UOA in the silicon
dept.
I'm worried, Purolator was one of our last readily available quality filter makers, Who will we turn to now?
I suggest that EVERYONE who finds a defective one, Calls and gets a return
kit, and sends it back. It's the only way to get there attention.

It was funny last fall I got two Purolator Synthetic filters from Pepboys. I looked at the one for my Tacoma, all was good. The other one I didn't bother to look at. Got home to change the oil in the CRV, opened the box and there was a classic in there. I should of returned it but their about a 20 min drive... so I threw it away. Kinda glad now I didn't use it.
Is it a coincidence that Mann took over 100% of Purolator in March 2013?
I will go to Pep Boys this weekend to exchange the 2 Purolator Classic I have for Fram Tough Guard.
Too many failure at similar location to feel confortable using it in the S2000.

I have 4 Bosch Premium filters that I might return.

The AMSOIL filters are readily available (you can easily order them) and are quality (wire backed synthetic media), as are the FRAM ULtra filters.
I'm rockin' a stock Motorcraft on the Expedition, the BMW doesn't have to deal with this problem, it gets OEM or MANN, and they are cartridge style.

I have used the Pureones in the past but will now go exclusively to FRAM.

What I the best low price alternative? Motorcraft is Purolator also so I'm thinking that's a no no.

Meh, I'm near the end of the first interval in the Civic with a P1. With the risk being such a small tear I'm not worried about it in the least.
With that said, I've used Fram Extended Guard in the past and will use Ultra Guard in the future.
EDIT: maybe I'll swap out the P1 at the end of this change, the first OCI, just to satisfy my curiosity...
