New purolator synthetics

[00firebird]

These seem legit! Im guessing they will be priced a step above pureones. Are they being sold yet? I havent seen them in any of my local stores yet (walmart autozone advancedauto)

I guess the new prefix is PSL and indeed a search did find them (PSL10111) priced around $10. How do they compare to mobil 1s?

Saw them on Amazon.....priced over $12....which is a bit pricey.

I'll continue to use PureOne's....a great mid-tier filter...and with rebates....a great buy.

Yes, these are a step above the current PureOne filter. You should be seeing them at the retail level soon.

I have 3 Amsoils to make it through before I buy another filter for my Honda. Can't wait to use these in 3 years! LOL

Ive seen them at my local Advance Auto, price was $9.99

^^^^$9.99 at AAP. And when all their stores start carrying them, knock anywhere from 20-40% off that price by buying online using codes, not too shabby.

i all ready posted about this about 2 weeks ago. i got one the very week they came out. but do not have it on yet. need 200 miles yet to get it on. it looks like a very good filter. but quality of the paint job is not very good. but "how important is a paint job for a filter?"

Maybe its "sure grip" coated? You know you want to hack saw it and post the autopsy ...do it..do it...

Not all Advances will be carrying these in the forseeable near future. Those that didn't get them got Mann filters instead.

My local AAP is carrying them now. The "sure-grip" coating has over spray on the top area, not within the gasket area though. $9.99 pretty much across the filter range.

"Synthetic media for synthetic oil is hogwash"...all I read from the P1 users. Now Purolator has produced a filter, and their documentation says thats the reason...the sound of crickets can be heard across BITOG..

it is sure seems this way, but there is a paper by Donaldson on the internet saying that they don't recommend cellulose for oils based on PAO/Esters, meaning cellulose will be degraded. It is probably not a big deal but again better safe than sorry.

Synthetic media filters are usually longer OCI filters, and that's why the manufacturer recommends the use of synthetic oil with them. They are simply matching a long OCI filter with a long OCI oil.
