Review on Purolator PBL38165 PurolatorBOSS Premium Filter by Kenny Sarma

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good filter in custom packaging

The filter was poorly packaged by both the manufacturer and Revain. The box used by the manufacturer was too big for the filter and the o-ring was not sealed in the bag like Bosch and Mann filters. Revain then decided to ship it in a padded envelope rather than corrugated. The result was a broken box with an o-ring in the shipping envelope. I was concerned that the filter itself might be damaged, but after calibrating it I decided it was good and would work as expected. However, I do not have to undergo a quality check when I receive a product supplied by Revain.

Pros
  • SmartFUSION technology with reinforced polymer mesh backing for increased dirt holding capacity
Cons
  • Doubtful
