i was curious did purolater improve their quality yet or are they still building filters that tear? I know most here stopped using them but it would be nice to know that they are doing something to improve the quality of that once liked oil filter.. I am in an oil filter buying group and i was asked this question by another shop that wants to go back to them because he has signs he took down and has no signs made for the Wix we are using now but like all of us he won't use them unless their is a quality improvment and just get new signs made up saying Wix.

Really? Never? That is just NOT true, and even today some folks are seeing tears in pleated filter material that is crimped together with metal.

I'm still using PureOne filters for 20K miles.
That's with 3 OCI's in that 20K miles.

That seems a tad much considering how inexpensive they are.
But whatever floats your boat!

send your filter to purolator for proper analysis. opening a filter on your own is backyard tribology and will not meet any litmus test for a warranty claim. does that sound like i'm kidding?

I was thinking the same thing 20000 on one filter is dumb

It was all a plot by agents provacateur to discredit the stellar products sold by Purolator.

C'mon! Why would they ever admit a problem - then admit a fix?
If they admitted it and announced a fix date, then people like me who have four Purolator filters left, would wait for new stock and swap my bad stock for new stock.
Only the outer box gets scanned at the register. Do you want to obtain a new Purolator outer box with my old, possible torn Purolator inside that box, after I returned it for a refund?
That is the #1 reason why Purolator has been hush-hush on this.

Of course they did not have the certificate to cut filters open.
