Very, very poor quality on this filter. Just screams *****!

From SubyRubieRoo

If i jad a ford I'd use a Tough Guard like stepdad uses on koms Freestyle wagon before I'd buy this filter.

Enjoy

I respectfully disagree. That is a joke of Purolator quality control.


As Bullwinkle once said about some QS filters and others the media is undersized looking attached to end caps. Twisty media is UN-acceptable also

You speak the truth

You are welcome too

That is pretty sad looking. And here you have twin turbo eco boost engines using an oil life monitor that sometimes don't indicate a change until nearly 10,000 miles.
I will no longer be using these filters. Thanks for the good info.
 
It could be better for sure but it's not that bad. Probably won't function less or better than a pretty filter. Knowing there are a few people out there looking, they should take the time to make it look more uniform.

I don't care what a filter looks like.
I only care if it does the job.
I have used MC filters for 50 yrs and guess what?Never a failure!
Its an oil filter not the Mona Lisa.
 
I wasn't a fan, ADBV action wasn't great on the couple FL820S filters I used on my 4.6 both on the MGM and company E-250. Went to the XG2 & haven't looked back. Bought on eBay by the 6 pack, the Ultra isn't really much more money, either. MC quality, like EVERYTHING Purolator, has plummeted in recent years. I'm still hoping they don't drag Wix down with them.
