BOSCH OR PUROLATOR

[TYVOLS]

What is anyones thought on the Bosch oil filter versus the regular Purolator. Experiences? Which is better if either?

I'm under the impression that the Bosch is about the same thing as the Pure One.

Indeed. I like the Bosch's personally - seem to have less paint flaking and the threads are cleaner. Both are made by Purolator - the Bosch is a step up from the regular Purolator - better media and silicon anti drain back valve - close if not identical to the Pure One like Mark indicated.

For my car, the Bosch looked like a Pure One with black paint and a conventional gasket. I liked it. I would not be afraid of using it again. Ford Contour SVT V6.

Every application in which I've used a Bosch, it looked just about the same as a PureOne.

Bosch and Mann bought Purolator as a joint venture.

I started seeing Bosch filters that looked like Purolator construction last year. Of course, this doesn't mean all Bosch part numbers are Purolator here in U.S.

Media-wise...who knows.

Not that this matters anything, but I've been using Bosch in everything except Fords, which I use Motorcraft. I like the Bosch filters.

Terry Dyson previously recommended Bosch right below Amsoil EAo filters.

Really????? I'm thinking of changing from the motorcraft to Bosch

I normally use Pure 1 on my corolla and zx9r. I used a bosch for the first time on my g/f's grandmothers 04 civic, seems like a quality made filter.

Motorcraft 820S on the g/f's explorer.

Bosch or purolator, i would use either one with confidence.
