Great Automotive Filter

The PurolatorBOSS Premium Filter is a great investment for your car. Based on my observations, this filter provides excellent filtration that ensures your engine runs smoothly. The filter's multiple layers contribute to its effectiveness, and it is sturdy and long-lasting. The only con is that it may cost a bit more than other filters, but the benefits it offers make it worth the investment.

Pros
  • Superior filtration performance with high-density synthetic blend media, wire-backed pleats, and silicone anti-drainback valve.
Cons
  • Higher price compared to other standard filters on the market.

Good filter in custom packaging

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

The frame and wrapping are also top notch. The only downside is that the oil return is a bit more restricted compared to the…

Pros
  • Up to 15,000 miles; 99% dirt removal Performance
Cons
