I am done looking.
I fail to see how posting an orange can that was apparently run way beyond it's rated usage distance has much to do with a TG thread. Kinda like posting pics of a torn Classic that was run 15k when someone is asking about a PureOne.
What is your definition of start up rattle? My Jeep 4.0 makes a slight noise for a second or so till the oil pressure gauge swings up. Once or twice it has made a G_D awful clatter, so bad I shut the engine off fearing damage. I don't recall the filter when this happened, but it was either a Pure One or Napa Gold. Is your "rattle" catastrophic sounding, or a slight noise?
Mine was catastrophic sounding. It completly went away when I used the OEM Mopar filter.
