Or would prefer to have some actual facts to discuss rather than reading people go on and on without any.
So you think that many posted photographs of big media tears by many separate members here is not "proof" that there is a problem going on? Wow ...
What kind of "evidence" do you need to be convinced that something is not "normal" with this high rate of reported media tears?

Exactly. Nobody knows. And nobody is going to know from these overheated but unfounded speculations and assertions. So, everyone take a chill pill and wait for some facts. Those who wish have stopped using Purolator.
Your twisting things out of context now, because that comment was about a UOA and the "effect" of the filter with a media tear. It really has nothing to do with the fact that these filters DO have media tears. These filters tear in service, they aren't torn during production. Yeah, I don't have "proof", but if they were being torn during production then Purolator would know the cause and not say they don't know the cause in the form letter they sent out.
So tell me, what in your mind do you think is everyone's "unfounded speculations and assertions"? In case you haven't noticed, there are dozens of guys posting that clearly say they do not want to use Purolators anymore until they have proof this problem is fixed. Is that why you are so bent on trying to convince everyone that they should just relax and this is not really a problem and just keep using a filter that could fail? Get real.

Yes, we all know. I was one of many here who contacted Purolator about media tears. And they have in their "form letter" admitted that they don't know what the cause is.
No, it's not end of topic ... because if Purolator can't determine the root cause then this problem will persist. And IMO, if they don't know the root cause then no level of QA inspection is going to lead to the cause.
