Considering how much they cost, they should be better. Mann even has similar offerings, like the Purolator One, that are a lot cheaper.

Great looking Purolator made filter.

I know for the Volvo the Purolator was cheaper than the Mann but prices probably fluctuate. Good idea to cross check the prices.

As far as I know or seen, the Mobil1 filters have more pleat count than the other Purolators from WhipCityWrencher comparison videos. Its a little more than just a private label product which is fair IMO.

Nice choice with the Carquest Premium going back on.

Sometimes it's hard to equally compare filters b/c of different production dates. WCW compares anything from any date. One could be 5 yrs old while the other is current production. That could lead one to believe they are different when in fact just different time periods. Unless you're comparing same time periods then that would be a good assumption.

From Amazon, the PL22500 is $10.98 and the M1-212A is $11.44. Yes the PureOne costs less, but 46 cents isn't a lot cheaper.

after seeing that they’re Premium Gueards with a nice silicone gasket and that i get them nearly free through AAP, it’s a no brainer. 99% at 25um is good enough for the fleet until we get all of the trucks on HPL.
