Purolator sucks

[Turbonium]

Purolator screwed me twice in one week. They're 2 for 2.

That is all.

 

[Rakehellion]

Oh.

 

[T9D]

Is that the hand sanitizer stuff? What happened, your hand still smell?

 

[Jimzz]

You're canadian, no one cares.

That is trully all.

 

[Vdubchaos]

Oil filter?

Why in the world would you even consider buying that shit?

Might as well get a Tornado and blinker fluid to go with that.

Step 1: Don't buy Fram
Step 2: Buy Wix

Sounds like a coffer maker.

What's wrong with Purolator?

I've had good luck with the 'anything but Fram' strategy.

Never had any issues. Screwed you how?

 

[dud]

Yeah, post a bombastic comment and then leave the thread without following through on an explanation. OP, out of morbid curiosity ... how did you get screwed?

 

[SpatiallyAware]

Purolator makes great products. I blame the OP.

Please explain this. What do you mean you had good luck with anything but fram? Did you send in your oil to be tested? How do I, theaverage joe knows how well his oil filter performed? Other than taking one off and putting another filter on, what can I use to judge its effectiveness?

 

[OutHouse]

Ok, I guess OP is talking about the canadien shipping company. Purolator. Not the oil filter.

There are tons of online guides and reports on filter comparisons. Every single time fram is at the very very bottom of the list.... Defective anti drainback valves, filters with gaps that allow oil to pass through, filter media that is thin and tiny compared to even no name filters.....


Bosch, napa gold, purolator, wix are about the only consistently trustworthy filter companies.

I've been using the Pureone filters for a while. Cheap with metal endcaps and they have them on Amazon Prime.

 

[AmdEmAll]

Purolator is good.. also Wix..

 

[wirednuts]

Fram is fine because most people don't want to know theyre ruining their engines every revolution of the piston...

 

[OILFIELDTRASH]

Been using fram since I was 16 with my first car. 32 now and no problems yet.

 

[Fritzo]

That's a better record than my wife.

It's not just a personal opinion. Fram makes terrible filters. Go read up on the studies before giving more false advice on our forums.

In general you could stand to do some research before giving your opinion on any topic.

The research has been 16 years of spinning off fram filters and spinning a new one on with each oil change. Many different cars and even motorcycles. I just put one on last weekend on my mustang. Bought a couple spares as well.

"It works" isn't validation that they're good.

Basically, there are better products out there. Purolator is one of them. From dissected filters, to oil analysis, to whatever, Fram are consistently found to be among the worst of the field.

Purolator, from my perspective, appear to be the best in terms of both price and performance. They always grade out well, and are a few cents more than a cheapy Fram.
