Does it mention country of origin anywhere?
Looks reasonably well made.

When Purolator made their box picture of pleat spacing, why didn't they use the pleat spacing at the seam? After all, that enormous gap is a Purolator trademark.
USA.
Doesn't look significantly different than the white one I did a week or two back to me, less rusty perhaps.

This one has a MUCH, MUCH better pleat spacing than the first one cut here in BITOG. In fact, this is probably as good as it gets from Puro i'd say. Lots of premium filters out there have similar spacing except for some. (Even Ultras has worse spacing but its wire backed so it doesnt really matters.)
Definitely better but not necessarily means all of them are like this. Maybe its within the margin of production variable so some can have a slightly better spacing while others a slightly worse or maybe they made adjustments to the production.

You mean the Red L12222?
These two filters are not the same size, so I will try to get a side by side picture in the next few days.

Yeah that one. Didnt notice that you also cut the first one.
I also thought it could probably be due to the model but i definitely notice this one has better pleat spacing at the seam.

They need to eliminate the huge gaps or change the media composition otherwise they are still just gonna rip above the glue line.
Time will tell what they have actually done, if anything other than names and paint.

The BOSS I just bought said "Made in USA" on the sticker on the canister. This one just says "Oil Filter". So I'm guessing that it's somewhere other than the US.

Other filter makers don't have those large pleat spacings at the seam. What is the problem with the equipment Purolator uses that causes the wide spacing at the seam?

Not enough pleats, which in turn yields less media, and cuts their production costs. As long as the media is high quality, then I don't think the spacing would be a problem. I have seen some Fram orange cans that look bad with wide pleat spacing and abused, but, yet, they did not tear. I think it all boils down to the media that Purolator was using, and whether or not they have changed to a different media/better quality.

Overall, it actually don't look that bad. I think I would use it.

As I already stated it is USA. Says it in the same place as the other new red one I cut open, its just not in this series of pictures.
