Ugh, doesn't seem like Purolator is on top of quality control at all still! Had to replace a FL400s on my Tacoma earlier due to it leaking, despite being tightened down properly and baseplate cleaned off good initially, filter had roughly 1000 miles on it. I didn't bother inspecting the filter and why it was leaking as the wind was blowing and it's below zero outside on top of it! Replaced with a Fram OCOD 3614, hoping I don't have to do this again.
Think I'm just gonna stick with Fram or OEM filters from now on, as anything made by Mann/Hummel has proven to be an inferior product in recent years. Oil filters aren't a complex design, but they've somehow managed to screw the pooch on it big time!
