The filter leaked the whole time it was on. Found out the gasket was badly cut, and the drain back valve was so hard, I doubt it worked. Was VAl HM, on the turbo cruiser in my sig. Ran for 3,000 miles.

Dust is from cutting open and leaving outside. I knew it leaked, because it killed the grass the car parks on.

Car leaks oil to begin with. I thought it was the usual leak.

The media was really nice, it really was the one shining thing about the filter.
 
Would the turbo have anything to do with the ADBV prematurely stiffening? I am betting it gets pretty hot pretty quick.. seeing how the pleats are so straight.

On a side note, you should have visually inspected the filter (and gasket) before installation.

Maybe, turbos are hard on oil, filters everything. But, I felt the quality was not there on the filter, in the beginning. Yep, the cruiser burns me every time I do an oil change, get hot quick and stays hot. I have a Mobil 1 cut open with straight pleats. I learned a lesson after that, about the gaskets.

The media looks great but it has the wrong bypass valve and adbv for a pure one.
If it was a Mopar, it has the correct parts. I wasn't impressed with the MO-090 that came on my XJ when I bought it, ADBV wouldn't stop anything, replaced it with a FL400S (& now an XG8A Ultra).

That was my immediate thought too. The Puro is cut open.


The Pureone was also cut open. There is another post by me, with it posted. I have no idea was the number is, already trashed it. Its the long version for PT cruisers.
