Purolater Red Can

PBL should be a boss, i thought they were grey... Red should be a classic right?
Sure it's not an L10241?
I wouldn't use it. I'm done with Purolator.
Reads more like the aforementioned red can L10241, and the red adbv would be silicone, now used on the L. Don't understand seeing a wire cage though. PBL, currently uses a polyer backing.
Either way, on a lawn mower especially, should be fine.

Sorry. I was incorrect. You are right. It is not the Boss.
Silicon. Good to know. Thanks. It definitely has a wire cage. Ran my finger in the filter to confirm.
Understand. I reckon that Fram was once viewed the same?
You are right. It’s not the PBL prefix.
Yep. But I've never seen a fram tear in person. I have Purolator
Ok. So the downfall was because of the problems with filter media then. Won’t hurt my 18 year old Craftsman-Briggs. Probably could never change the oil and filter at this point and it wouldn’t matter anyway!
I'd use it happily.
Where was it made?

@PontiacHO do you have any pictures?
The internet coined the OCOD (Orange can of Death) because they viewed the use of a fiber end cap as inferior to metal endcaps, until the term Tear-o-lator was coined.
Have we even seen any torn Purolators in the last year or two? Seems like whatever the problem was kind of just went away.
Over the weekend after years of using only Ultra's I put on a Puro blue can on one of my Mazda's.

Is the cage possibly punched louvers? I have a couple Puro Reds from a recent Menards sale, and they have louvers & a red ADBV (but it doesn't appear to be silicone, looks more like red rubber). The Purolator tearing issue was worse a few years back, including fat Motorcraft filters (ESPECIALLY Motorcraft FL820S ones), but they "seem" to have improved somewhat lately. Definitely don't push them for long/multiple OCIs, though.
I saw a few PH16s in the day that would've been good for target practice, only had 50% of the media they needed. And the old Cummins issue. Both resolved these days.

Run with confidence.
Just because I was curious, I took a picture of a Red Classic & a blue Purolator One-
I left the photos big on purpose-both filters have louvers, the Purolator One on top clearly has a bright orange ADBV, the Red Classic on the bottom has a lighter red ADBV that I'm not convinced is silicone (someday I'll cut one & do the burn test). In case there was any question, no cage, just louvers (that appear to be open BTW).
