Filter looks to be Purolator made. Mostly highway but some in town/idling in the summer heat. This car is my daily driver right at 203,000 miles. Filter held up well I've got a red Purlator in my stash for next time. Same oil went back in with a Fram Toughguard.

Yes the MP design is the newer design with metal caps and poppet bypass and Silicone anti drain back valve. Rated for 20k according to the box. The ST is still the one pictured above rated for 10k according to packaging.

My local Walmart has both. Still hoping for an MP 3387 for my GM vehicles

I know this has been discussed before but I wanted to find out first hand and they are the exact same thing. The Kohler media was a little tighter packed but not enough to justify the price difference.

🤔 interesting. Yes this crosses to an FL 910S so they are very similar.

Me to I would feel better about a metal crimp on that seam. I've got a Puro made microgard on my Buick Lesabre I'll cut and post next change to see.

I was curious of the current build of regular red Purolators.

I know this thread is pretty old but I've got a 2000 Lesabre that turned over 200k. It's been through 2 of those plastic upper intakes and lowers changed with them as well. Well know problem on the series 2 definitely worth a proper fix with that low of mileage.

Fram "Drive" filters are the Ecore ones these are the equivalent of a tough guard I think.

It's the same exact filter just the MP is built a little tougher. Not sure how they are rolling these out so maybe they havent updated the results. I wouldn't be afraid to run it on anything requiring a 3614

Everyone loves to hate on Ecores but that is a pretty solid filter. Definitely wouldn't run one that long though.

Honestly if you aren't doing crazy long OCIs any filter is gonna perform well. Even the lowly Orange can Fram. I like Super tech myself

They do start with MP but dont seem to cover the whole line of filters yet. I've been looking for the 338A version for my GM vehicles but no luck. Did find the MP 3614 for my wife's Fusion and Kohler lawn mower engine though. They do but I dont think they cover the entire line of filters yet...

Currently running it in my 2012 Silverado with the 4.3 v6. For the price it's gonna get that from now on.

My 2012 Silverado 4.3 is gonna get some next change. I'll do a UOA to compare it to the pennzoil gold I'm running now.

I've ran and cut open lots of ecore never had an issue. I used to use the super tech ones in below zero weather and they were fine. But like people have said if you don't want to run them there are lots of alternatives. Just not "tearolator" as they have became known

If you have the extra money or mechanical ability I would do it. I bought a 2000 Lesabre in 09 with 65000 miles on it and the upper plastic intake had cracked and was leaking coolant externally right after bringing it home. After reading up on the lowers leaking to I had them done in 2012 even...
