Hi Guys,
I remember reading a SAE paper some few months ago about filters......no,
not one funded by a filter company......that rated the Purolator "Pure One"
tops. There were some other good performing filters, but the Fram got
bashed for having inferior filtration/interior construction in the "Hecho en
Mexico" filters. It seems that the filtration material frequently burst
internally.
It also turns out that there are only four or five companies that produce
filters for the various namebrands marketed in the U.S. And, yes there are
differences in the filtration material/canister construction etc. between
the filters that are made by the same company (badged differently, though)
as well as between the various manufacturers.
Best regards,
Ray McCrary
