See the Purolator PureOne new Purty filter

[Who]

Shiny and Gold??? Has sparkles as well. I am almost embarrassed to install it in my car.

By the way the picture of the filter is not for a Supra. It is for a Ford. Ignore the numbers

 

[Jaguar_5]

LOL as you should be

Thats a pretty funny looking filter

 

[tlo86]

i have it on my car.

'and I Aint' no queer neither!'

 

[Loki]

The one I just bought is still a blue one

 

[werewolves182]

Ive got one on my car. It makes it a hell of a lot easier to grip to get off...Especially if your 1JZ and have shit for room to get a filter off.

 

[MassSupra89]

All my Purolater's are White.:dunno:

I get them commercially though. Never gotten one from a store.

 

[tlo86]

they are mixed blue white goldspeckled where i am at

 

[Who]

Well I used them today and the grip is good but there are no markings on the filter so you have to guess how far you tightened it as far as the 3/4 to 1 full turn.

 

[mkIIIman089]

It's probably nit-picking, but I don't like them because most have the gold flakes on the inside as well.

blang blang

Funny you mention that because I had to remove the loose gold flakes from the rubber gasket on the filter.

Did you cut one open to see if this was in fact true?

I can see some of the "grit" getting on the rubber gasket, but if it's on the filter element, this filter would be on my "do not use" list.

 

[supraman7mgte]

A oil filter with sparkles...
yup,that does it!

 

[Who]

Gees the things I do for Supramania. I just went and dug through the trash for the two empty pureone filter boxes. Bad News... I can say I do feel some grit loose on the inside of the box. I can't say for the inside of the filter as both are installed already.

By the way I did find a rebate at the purolator website for the oil and air filters good until July of 2008 http://www.pureoil.com/documents/rebates/2ns_rebate_form.pdf

Grip on the outside is no big deal...just wipe the rubber gasket/end off and you are good. Inside, different story...the only way to determine that is by cutting a new filter open. Basically this is a standard PureOne filter with a coating on the outside for grip.

 

[mkIIIman089]

jdub, I have not cut open a new one, I'm just predicting since it was clear the coating had been applied before the guts were put in the casing. When I looked they were all over the anti drain back as well.

 

[jdub]

Did a little research on this:
Purolator is going to this coating for all of the PureOne line of filters. It seems it's a quality control issue, especially on the initial run. The flakes you saw are primarily on the outside (yes, a couple geeks cut them open), but some did get through the center hole on the media...not a lot, enough to be seen though.

More recent production runs of this filter do not have the loose flakes. The marketing idiots at Purolator need to be slapped...change this coating to a different color and coat the only the domed end half. My recommendation would be to open the box before you buy one...or, just buy a Wix


Edit: Come on guys, the box color doesn't mean squat. FYI - PureOne filters were blue...the cheaper made Purolator filters were white.
The box color had nothing to do with what's inside

Who are you talking to?



I would be in love with the PureONE filters if they had a grippy part. I used to always get the Fram filters simply for the grip, but then found out they don't filter anything short of small pebbles, lol.

 

[starscream5000]

The last Purolator I bought was blue, PureOne's only for me. Except the fact that I'm using a Wix filter here with 5 Neodimium (sp?) magnets on the outside "just in case".

PureOne's are hard to obtain in my location, thus the reason why I have a wix on now. Next thing on the "to buy" list is a fumoto and a PureOne (not to mention some Penzoil Plat 5W30)

5 seconds with a Sharpie gets you markings. I've been doing that for years, right after I gave up on Fram. Put 4 marks on the end and you're done.

Sharpies even come in many colors, so you can match your paint...
