Engines will still run Ok with some minor damage, and only a tear down would divulge any damage or not.
But still not a good enough reason for me personally to play "Tearolator Roulette". Others can play, and I'll jusr watch.
So stop with the Tearolator roulette horse [censored].
You've spent nearly a decade perpetuating this myth.
No one has had a problem with Purolator damage except you in your REM dream state.
Your hypothetical damage scenario is not valid as filtration provided by even a damaged Purolator is sufficient to protect an engine.
So show me the [censored] proof or stop spreading this piece of FRAM marketing propaganda.
Who [bleeped] in your Wheates this morning and put you into
personal attack mode?
How about you prove nothing whatsoever happened to every engine that had a torn Purolator on it. I see you'll never give up your fanboy status of failing junk - you must own stock in the compamy.
And exactly how is talking about torn media a "Fram marketing campaign", the word wasn't mentioned by me - you been drinking heavily tonight? If anything, it's a campaign to NOT use junk!
And you have no sense of time because Tearolators haven't been around for 10 years, more like about 3, which is about 2.9 years too long. Plus, I was one of the biggest advocates of Purolators until they started failing (go read my posts from 5 years ago), but sorry to say I don't do fanboy based on brand, but instead based on quality, reliability and performance - unlike blind fanboys.
