Time will tell.... I hope they get their economy and second tier filters right. Their current premium Synthetic oil filters have been just fine. I said I would run one and I have done just that because these filters are solid. I do hope they will be able to raise the quality back up to where it was. Would be nice to have more quality options.

Why have three levels of quality, just clone and make the one Germanic Mann filter in the USA and keep the jobs here would be easier. Put the new retro logo on the can. Why do we need good, better, and best all the time? Jobbers can harvest more money from customers in upselling? Make one Fram, one Wix, one Purolator, one Napa. In Germany you buy one kind of Mann filter, which signifies their best I believe. Baldwin has one automotive grade I believe, the red one.
Finally they did something about it I honestly thought they were going to ignore the problem forever.
I like the trademark on dirt removing power.
I see it as competing with FRAM head on:
Purolator vs OCOD
Purolator 1 vs TG
Boss vs Ultra
I like the rebranding and I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and trust that they have made improvements to their product so they don't tear. We'll wait and see next year when somebody uses and cuts one of these bad boys open.

901 lets see what they did they might still tear for all we know.. I may try another purolater if i see their quality gets better but i have to be very sure and their prices have to be good. after about a year or so if i see good results i may again buy purolater but for now its the wix and ultra.
I sort of lost faith in purolater the last couple of years due to their quality issues.

Puro Boss ain't a "game changer". Fram Ultra, Royal Purple, Amsoil filters are as good or better, have been for a while.
I'll let the masses test them and report back, then decide if I want to bother using them again.

Is it Black? It looks like a dingy grey to me.
Wonder what the Bosch equivalents will be?
Didn't someone mention lately seeing a new center tube in classics?
Guess I will look for a few of these to sacrifice...

I don't know about pretty fast, as it's been over 1-1/2 years since the tearing media fiasco started showing up. I do think however that this whole revamping was probably driven by the problems Purolator was having. Let's see if this move pulls their reputation out of the hole a bit.

None of the new ones at any of the usual suspects today. I think I saw somewhere on the web "coming in 2016"?

Thats true. First one on BITOG to use one is King of the Oil Nerds. C'mon people, Fram Ultra still edges it out.
