anyone heard of a brand called 'purolator' ? had an oilchange at sears and the they used castrol gtx which made me happy, but the filter was purolator. if this is crap, i'm gonna go get it changed out. Thanks

 

Yeah, it's a major brand.

I don't know about the quality overall, but it's not a no-name filter or anything. I wouldn't worry about it.

 

yea my friends dad's shop sells them they are fine as far as i know a pretty well known brand i've used them before

heres their web site http://www.pureoil.com/

 

wow quick replies. yea, i looked at the box and i was like ehhh? also, my car seems more sluggish than normal. i dont know if its bc its so early in the morning, but would anything regarding an oil change cause sluggishness. well not cause sluggishness, but say if the guy forgot to clamp a hose here or there, would anything be affected? maybe im tired. i should sleep after my nightshift

 

No, not really.

 

its a well known brand. if u ever watch nascar they use it and im sure they dont think its crap

 

After I get an oil change my car feels sluggish... but its in my mind, after a few hours its normal again.. lol

 

well if they over filled with oil yes. puralotor is **** the are worse than fram

 

I use the Purolater PureOne oil filter. It's metallic blue and not the same as the regular Purolator. It has an anti-drain back valve inside which I can't find on any other filter. I've used it on all my cars (7 total) and no problems with any of them.

No dry start noises, no leaks, no problems. Very happy with it.

 

For the last 3 years I have been using puralator pureone oil filters. I've had no problems with filter and I used them on my old car as well.

 

Purolator is one of the best brands out there, especially their PUre One Filters

IIRC they were the makers of the first oil filter

 

i have never liked puraltor shody crafstmanship cheap gaskets

 

I never knew purolator made gaskets

Honestly I wouldnt want them either, Fel Pro all the way... but their filters are good stuff.

 

a filter is a filter...i've seen cars with 200k+ using the shabbiest filters and oil around...the important part is every 3k, not what you put in

 

i just love my maxi that much and only the best goes into her. quality is #1 on my list.

 

seems like the same shi) to me. After an oil change my car feels fantastic...never had a problem with using purolator, fram, etc.

 

i used to sell them. there are the same just a different name. it works.. never heard any complaints

-blake

 

ive been using them for years. I only get the pure one, there blue. Ive never had a problem. I just wouldnt get those no name brands.

 

OT, but what are you lowered on? That's look way too low to be H&R.

But to keep it on topic. Purolator filters are very good. I use them for flushes only because they are cheap. They have an anti-drain back valve that keeps the filter primed with oil so that you dont suffer dry starts. K&N fliters are good as well.

 

Yeah, what springs are they? I originally wanted to go with H&R sport springs but said the application never existed for the maxima (the red ones).
