For the price, this is just unacceptable IMO. There are better filters for half the price.
Another Gold Purolator and 5qts of Valvoline HM and 2qts of Redline 5W-30
Where are 20k filters for $4.23 (1/2 price) or are you not talking about 20,000 mile performance filters?
For $4.25
What filter is that ?
Thank you sir
You beat me to the punch

Better in terms of build quality and efficiency, not necessarily in terms of mileage rating.
One of the cleaner ones we’ve seen. Thanks for the c&p.
It’s for sure not a 20K filter True marketing at its worst
But for a good filter for the price for a 5K or even a 7K run
I’ll buy it
Naw Your wishing and hoping
If Walmart offered a 50K mile filter for $20 bucks
I’d run it for 5K dump it in the trash
It’s marketing
That’s all it is
Maybe a Premium Guard EX filter. Rockauto has them for $4.50-$5.00. Build quality pretty nice in those. Also, the PentiusXL filters are around $5. Also a really nicely built filter.
I don’t think either are marketed at 20K, but if that Purolator can do 20K, so could they. I wouldn’t run any of them that long. My .02.

This is what I was trying to get at with it all. I don’t expect inconsistent media pleats with a filter like this. I’ve cut open and see the lower end red and tech Purolators look better.
However, that being said, I am not saying the media quality is better or worse across these filters. I am just saying that the lower end filter seem to have a better build quality, but most likely worse media.

Shipping with rock auto is not cheap anymore
Add another $6 to $7 bucks
Pleat spacing uniformity could be improved some, but otherwise looks clean and like it got the job done at 5k miles. WCW had similar result recently with an LX7317.
Thanks for c&p.

Sample size of one and all that good stuff.
Bought a Purolator LX7317 at Wally World. I think I’ll continue to pass on Purolator.
Lots of loose glue. I can’t guarantee that that I didn’t knock anything loose cutting the filter element, but I found 3 large pieces of loose adhesive inside the pleats. Lots of loose glue outside the element. Half of the top metal plate didn’t adhere, but I doubt that matters under pressure.

Tried a Purolator on LX7317 on somebody else’s car for an OCI.
Lots of loose glue on the paper. I’m highly doubtful it went into bypass.

Topic filter has a more centered bypass valve than I remember on Purolator. They added nubs to hold the spring centered. Maybe it was there before and never noticed. Nice filter, made USA. A little more $ gets the Boss which uses a different glue and is full synthetic not a blend. To keep USA I probably will merge to those. But merging will take awhile with a bunch of filters stashed in a box.
