One thing of note is the base plate is not correct on the Purolator Pureone... It is convex in shape. It should be concave... That may well be part of the issue. The Boss uses the correct base plate that is concave.
You mean like this one I have on my corolla right now with no start up noise?

Those old Corollas will take anything and just keep running.

I'd be interested to hear that, too, because if you want oil made by a company that hasn't done some truly heinous things, you'd have to use canola oil.

You realize that every type of motor is different right ??
Not a one size fits all and they can be quite different.
Again.... Read what I said... The Boss with the correct base plate does not have that problem. The red Purolator did have the correct base plate and it was fine too...

Again... Read what I said.... It's obvious.
The Purolator red and Boss do not have that issue...
Plus the base plate is not correct on the 14610...
Read that.
And yes it is strange. But it happened. Routinely. With the yellow and the new one with the convex base plate...

I hated Sopus until I joined bitog.

I like certain brands for different reasons, mainly availability and value.
For some vehicles/engines I'm picky as various oils/brands "seem" to work better (like HDEO burning off less in old small engines) others it is whatever is cheapest.
For filters I'm more picky. I prefer Wix and Fram Ultra, and MANN for the German cars.

A flawed rebate program got some of us pretty upset a while back.
Add in that many UOA on Rotella come back looking worse than other comparable oils, and it's enough to pass SOPUS by.

Don't know maybe because it's the number 1 in the world as a retailer for lubercation?

I'm loyal to my wife, children, other family members and friends. That's where my loyalty lies.
I was brand loyal to motor oils, namely Valvoline and Castrol, when I started driving in the late 70s. Around 2001 I gave up brand loyalty and bought whichever major brand oil, approved for the engine, at the lowest price.
As of late I've been using Kendall full synthetics in my wife's car and in my pickup. I use P66 Guardol ECT in my semi truck, because I can buy them locally at a very good price.
Every pickup I've owned have all been Fords.
For automobiles I've owned Pontiac, VW, Chevy, Ford, Dodge, and Toyoya.
