Any oil filter named after Bruce Springsteen (royalties paid?) must be solid!

Its not wire-backed anymore, but there is some kind of polymer mesh which should hold it OK.
Could they have made the center tube holes any smaller? LOL
Comes in a hexagonal shaped box! Just in time for Christmas too.

The 15,000 mile statement is the same as Fram Ultra. Purolator doesn't state a dirt-holding capacity to back that up. Someone posted a while back how Fram Ultra holds about twice the dirt of most filters, hence longevity assured with the Ultra.
Fram Ultra has a double layer of synthetic media (possibly more depth filtering), wire backed, so I don't see "The Boss" as bossing around Fram Ultra just yet. I see this an on-par with the Royal Purple oil filter or Amsoil oil filters, not quite as good as Fram Ultra still.

Is "re-engineered" the closest we will ever see to a public admission of guilt for past tearing oil filter media from Puro?
New marketing slogan from Puro: "We maybe don't fall apart anymore!" confidence builder

At what or greater than micron rating? I am using a Bosch D+ now, last Puro product I have. Rated at 40 microns, big jump from 20. I don't drive a lot can't wait to take that thing off at 5k miles which is about another year. I only used it because the adbv on this model can be seen inside the center tube, so I know it is where it is supposed to be. I will never buy another Puro product with their other type of adbv. Once burned by a bad defect like I had, that's it. That's what Puro fans and defenders here don't get.

OK, now (thanks Bud_One) I see the 27 gram dirt holding claim. The Boss is very similar to Fram Ultra there, hence the 15,000 mile claim. They are not completely clear on the ISO 4548-12 micron level, but I'm guessing these three products basically follow the Fram orange can, ToughGaurd, and Ultra performance, sort of.

I think it would be the equivalent of the red because this will be the new Group 7 filter. A lot of cars now are going over 5,000 miles for oil changes, so that rules out the lowest tier filter I would think because that would not meet original equipment requirements.
They'd concede the red is good for warranty requirements if your particular owners manual says you can go longer.
They just don't want to paint such competence with a broad brush, or they'd steal sales from their premium brands.

I like. Wonder when they will start rolling out in stores. There should be some good clearance prices on the old cans too so they can make room for the new ones.

Don't really see it that way myself.
If your vehicle and OEM filter are designed for 15,000 mile changes, you need to be using the Purolator Boss.
With aftermarket parts, you decide how much service life you are purchasing.
For example, using the cheapest Wagner brake pads will not invalidate your vehicle warranty. But if your car came with ceramic pads that delivered 80,000 miles, you shouldn't expect Wagner's basic organic pad to deliver those same miles.

If they are saying 5k change schedule only without more words, there is a period after that, and it makes sense IF they got rid of the old statements that really can't be possible world wide under all conditions.
I would rather see more tech data and less sales marketing pitch some of which is silly.
They have been reading here. But where are the micron ratings. 99% @ ?.

Sorry they claim there was never a problem so why should they improve maybe just put more colors on the box...Sorry how can they be trusted.
Lets see if they improved or just painted the old tearolaters and lets see what the price will be so far im sticking with the ultra and the Wix filters although i have seen a couple if wix filters that have not looked so good.
