I bought a Purolator Pure One oil filter PL24458 from Advance Auto for my '89 Honda Accord. I went online to check that I bought the correct filter size and found that they list two filters PL14459 and PL24458 while stock lasts. Looking at the specifications on the filters show that the PL14459 is an inch shorter in height. Why would they reduce the filter surface area when they advertise that all "More pleats provide more surface area to prevent oil restriction..."
Seems very odd to change the filter surface area to make it smaller. Any thoughts on this is appreciated.
