Even pleats and lots of pleats certainly are a good thing. Especially if the media is weak. But not all media is created equal. Fram's is unusually strong, which is how they get away with less of it. Not very visually impressive though, on that we can agree!
I'll give you that... even the cheapest FRAM media has little bend to it. If Purolator used FRAM's OCOD media, they wouldn't be having their tearing epidemic.
Regardless, I still want more pleats LOL
"Epidemic" ROFLMAO!
By BITOG standards, that is correct. I have not seen a product line with as many documented failures as the puro classic tears for the amount of time I have been on this site. Not even the ecore boondoggle. It wins the "best of the worst" award IMO.
