Obviously the mass majority of members here who know about the media tearing problem don't want to use risky oil filters, and they have made up their own minds to step away from Purolator for the time being.
So you're in complete denial about the good UOA reported while using a Purolator with a tear?
There will never be enough proof if you insist on ignoring it.
This section of the forum had a much healthier tone during your recent sabbatical.
I think people might feel relieved that their UOA came back "OK" after seeing the filter media had torn. I highly doubt they will continue running filters that have a good chance of tearing. Why would they, unless they were a true fan boy. Maybe Purolator should put that in their advertising.
"New and improved! Now performs to OEM specifications ... even with tears!"
This section of the forum is healthier due to the eradication of true trolls, and the flavor of discussion and the viewpoints have never changed.
