I don't stash away oil and filters, so I recently got caught wanting to change my oil unexpectedly and bought an Advance Auto special. This was oil and a Purolator Boss filter. If I had been near a Walmart, I would have gone with a Fram Ultra, but I'm certainly not afraid of the Boss. I checked that the louvers were opened up good and made the purchase. My engine will be fine.
Let us know, what you think after your OCI! I certainly admire the external build quality of the Boss. But, the efficiency bothers me.
I will check it out, or send it to car51 to cut and post.
The efficiency isn't anything to brag about, but it will be fine.
