Found this on the clearance shelf at Walmart for only $3. Been there for months collecting dust. Looks very cheaply made.


 
Last year I bought a bunch of them for our Toyota Matrix on clearance at WM.

The thing that bothers me is, at oil change time they come out Hour Glass shaped, or semi crushed!

Others here have reported the same thing.

I'm inclined not to use them in the future. But I would be interested to hear what Bosch/Purolator have to say about it!

I had the same issue about 10 years ago with a Mazda 3, Purolator filter Hourglass shape after a little over 4K. Sent it in and was basically told the filter is fine and it reached the end of its service life. Funny thing the OE Mazda filter always came out fine and Purolator changed the design adding an inner cage. Don't expect them to admit anything!
