NEW PUROLATOR L 14610 CUT OPEN

[53' Stude]

Another filter from SubyRubieRoo. Made July 12, 2013 Line "E" 2nd shift in Fayetteville NC

Looks ok

White can right, and holes vs louvres...

The wide spacing at the seam is hypothesized to be the culprit in tears...

Thanks for the C&P

You are welcome Robert

If you look at the spreadsheet, the L14610 might have been the worst Tear-o-lator of them all. I have a bunch of these in my stash, they're more likely to end up in the scrap pile than ever installed on anything.

It looks pretty good. Thanks for posting.

Maybe I can't read, but when I order the filters in that spreadsheet by model number, there are at least 3 different ones that have as many "failures" as the 14610. If you are going to scrap them, send them to 53' Stude instead. No sense in wasting what's obviously a decent-looking, short OCI filter.

Good point. If my friend still has his beater 98' accord 4 speed car I'll use them on that for 3k

Yup same for me. I have two or three in box unused. I don't know what I'm saving them for. Maybe I'll experiment with them? I am always that close to cutting them open and recycling them.

If i didnt cut these filters, I'd crush em' with our filter crusher at work

Actually I used one as a glycol filter on an ice cream machine to clean up the glycol system, & it didn't tear. Caught a lot of junk too, so maybe they would make an OK coolant filter.

Looks great! Thanks for posting.

I have used several of these L14610 Purolators and never any problems. I also cut all my filters open and they have always looked great. Here is a used one I cut open at at 8K - https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/topics/4227893/L14610_Purolator_Classic_8K
