Advance Auto Parts-$2.50 Purolator oil filters

Yes they are only $2.50 each over here in Maryland so I bought a rack of 'em.
Purolator Premium PLUS model # L24457 for VE. As far as quality it is good. Peace

I don't like the Purolator thats white (the regular one). I buy for my car PureOne made by Puralotor which is the blue colored filter and it costs $6.50

And you bought these why? I used to use the Pure one because it was tested decent. But have no experience with the normal ones.

<(new here) I always use the Fram filter with Castrol GTX, but I'm looking to start experimenting with other filters. PureOne looks like a good place to start.

I'm sticking with the GTX though, unless anyone suggests a better alternative

Ummm let's see. Oil filter has absolutely no bearing how how the car "picks up" after you change the oil. It runs better probably because the old oil was all worn out.

It's a decent filter. Not the greatest but decent I guess. It's not a FRAM is what I'm trying to say. heh

Puralator Premium Plus, only thing I ever use. All because of this study....OIL FILTER STUDY



By the way, it shows all the different filters cut up.

If you can feel a performance difference after changing your oil then:

1. your looking for it and its really not there
2. there is something wrong
3. something else is wrong
4. uhhhhh buy an oil pressure gauge
