Pennzoil® Platinum HE Oil Filters

[ronbo]

Saw them advertised in MOTOR magazine 8-14 issue, a big surprise for me. Not sure where to buy them?

Must be Purolator Pure One or synthetic.

The link says 99% efficient, but doesn't reference at what particle size. Efficiency percent is worthless without a corresponding particle size.

It also references in flagnote 1:
"Based on ISO 4849-12 test procedures."

But I don't think there is such a test procedure. I think they mean: ISO 4548-12.

More information in this thread and more speculation.

Seems maybe they are 99%@30 microns which would be pretty bad but unconfirmed.

They sell them on Amazon now here is 1 for my Honda Accord.

now here is one that is a cartridge style and it looks very plane jane IMO....
probably a basic cellouse / synthetic fiber... Personally I wouldnt go out of my way to buy one unless it was FREE with a Oil deal.

here is cartrige pic, tell me what you think?/ I have seen many cartridge style oil filters like FRAM ULTRA and NAPA and PUREONE look much better.. It sorta looks like a FRAM EXTRA GAURD as far as the filter media

It's surely a blended media with some synthetic fibers in it, but no way it matches TG for media efficiency.

Its probably simular to a FRAM Extra Gaurd.

The Fram Extra Guard is Cellulose and Synthetic glass media... and looks very simular to the
Penzoil HE cartridge filter media if you ask me.

Kinda hard to tell the media composition by color and texture buy it's possible.
