I've noticed the pleats on purolator synthetics just look non-uniform. I cutopen a 20k,~3k, and brand new in one of my older posts. The pleats look pretty similar between the ~3k and 20k FCIs.
Even though there are no tears I still feel like the Fram Ultra has better construction overall. Once I finish out my stash I'll run Ultra's exclusively. (waiting for gregk24 to rejoice)
here's a link to the ~3k,20k,new comparison I did.

Thanks for cutting and posting these pictures and pictures of another PS at 20k miles.
If Purolator Synthetic is looking not so good in both 20k and 30k pictures, I wonder how the low end filters such as Fram Extra Guard, Pep Boys Proline, STP ... looked after 17-20k ? That was the FCI of those filter in my 1994 LS400.

Considering it has 30,000 miles on it, it looks pretty good.
Love to see the same FCI on an Ultra-bet it would look a lot better.
Thanks for cutting and posting, but I believe it's unsound logic to run this filter for 30K miles, especially in a premier vehicle like a Land Cruiser. BTW I've owned two.
These Purolater synthetic filters look really bad. I would never run one. There are a lot of better choices out there for the cost.

It's an oversized filter. That was my "logic" behind the 30k FCI.
