I decided to purchase a few Puolator PureONE oil filters for my Mitsubishi Outlander and compare them against Mitsubishi OEM dealer filters, as well as OEM filters made by Flow and NPN.
Truthfully, there appears to be very little difference in build quality between the Mitsubishi filters and those manufactured by Flow and NPN.

The Purolator PureONE filters are a different story. The quality of the filter medium appears to be better, with a tighter, more even distribution of the pleats.
Construction of the filter, particularly the safety relief valve also seems to be improved.

In the future, I know the decision will be an easy one. Purolator PureOne filters for my car and motorcycle.

I read review where a guy bought few mayor brands of oil filters then took them apart to see what they were made of, this was a clear winner.
It has steel caps and other high quality materials compared to cardboard caps used in Fram filters, no contest, free shipping, great price from Amazon and a rebate from Purolator, thanks.

I've been using Purolator Pure Ones since they were that blue-ish purple color many years ago and never had a problem w/ their filters fit, finish, filtration, or engine problems. These are highly rated on a lot of car enthusiast forums and I'm sure many of you have seen the filter cut out/internals websites that also say these are good filters. I used the PL14459's on my mid 90's Acura/Honda's and used the Purolator Pure Ones w/ every oil change (5-7.5k w/ full synthetic motor oil) for several hundred thousand miles on these cars w/o any problems on these cars. Now I have 2 never Acura/Honda's that use the PL14610 and I'm still using Purolator Pure One filters. Great product, the anti slip coating is nice, but I liked the blue/purple color of the previous design better/more aesthetically pleasing, anti drain back valves, no cardboard internal drain back valves like some competitors, and cheaper than buying locally at my local pep boys + tax and wasting time to drive there and back. Great price, does the job, can't go wrong. The only other filters I use are STP, Bosch, K&N, Mobil 1 when I get those oil change specials that are packaged w/ an oil filter, and Mahle/Mann's for my bmw M3 since Purolator doesn't make a pure one for the cartridge style vehicles, otherwise I'd use purolator pure ones in it also. Also use the Purolator Pure One PL10241 in a Toyota/Lexus and it works great! Great product, I've been using Purolator Pure Ones for the last decade or so. I've probably bought and used 20-30 of these among different cars in my lifetime, never had a problem. Purolator Pure One is Pure #1!!!

Tossed this on my '98 FZR600 and it fits great and it's a purolator so you know it's quality. Shipping was really fast too.

I am a mechanical engineer, very informed about all car and bike's maintenance and repairs. Belong to many biker's forums and constantly read a lot of information about bike maintenance... Confident I have way beyond average knowledge for these things.
Most bikers agree this brand(Pure One) is the best filter money can buy, fortunately very good priced too. Meaning- the built quality, materials used, level of cleaning of oil impurities/particles... are the best. If you want to try another brands for some reason, the next better filters are- Mobile 1, Bosch, Super Tech(Walmart)- in this order, all made from Champion.
Do yourself a favor and NEVER buy ANY motorcycle brand filter(like Honda, Kawasaki...etc.)- they are very bad quality, in terms materials used and cleaning performance... Just think about it- you want to use a product from a specialized manufacturer, who knows how to make great things and their existence depends on their main product. Like Honda- they have Great cars and bikes, but NOT oils and filters...
If you by chance need info for motorcycle oils too- try Shell Rotella T6 Full synthetic 5W-40 (blue bottle), sells in Walmart too for $24/gal. It seems to be the best proven oil for sport bikes, without friction decreasing additives, which can cause a clutch slipping in bikes with wet clutch.
If need even more info, here is a link of one very informative site:<...>

So far I've installed three of these PureONE filters, all purchased here on Amazon, and all on my 2005 Legacy GT. The first worked flawlessly for 5000 miles. The second had a noticeable but very slow leak for some reason. A very small amount of oil would ooze out of the side of the filter even when properly tightened. I've since replaced it with a third filter and so far there are no problems after 500 miles. The problem with the second filter is the only thing preventing me from giving 5 stars.

the filter material is MUCH thicker than the regular purolator and filters as well as higher costing brands.

The grippy outer coating is excellent and really aids in putting the filter on and taking it off.

In general this is as good of a filter as you could buy although there are better for a higher price but only worth it depending on the price. As this is normally cheaper than most it's always a great buy if your not too sure.

But only 4 stars? Yes, the oil that came out of the pan seemed slightly dirtier than a more expensive filter that I know has better filter material. Not a huge deal but if you are a car fanatic that has to have the best this is not it.

I ordered two of these filters for my 06 cbr600rr. I was alarmed to see a few loose flecks of the gold grip spray stuff Purolator uses inside of the rubber gasket seal. The flecks were about the size of a grain of sand, and my concern is they'll end up taking a few trips around my motor and transmission. I'm not sure how much grip texture trash is inside the filter or if it is on the outlet side of the filter.

I personally have never had a problem removing non-textured filters from my other vehicles, so I see this grip texture as more trouble than it is worth. The texture feels softer than the texture Fram uses, so maybe that is why a few bits of grip were able to come off. I think it is unacceptable for a new filter to have loose trash flying around. I'll contact Amazon to see what the return process is like.

I have been using Purolator PureONE Filters for 5 years now on my Motorcycle & Car. Alot people want only to use factory oil filters (Honda,Toyota etc) Alot of these filters like honda are made by Honeywell which is owned by Fram........ Note- In 1948, Purolator developed the first original equipment (OE) "Block mounted" oil filter. This was an important milestone in the filter industry because now the oil filter had become a standard part of the automobile engine. Earlier oil filters were typically mounted on the firewall somewhere underneath the hood of the vehicle.
It was also Purolator who developed the first "spin-on" oil filter in 1955. Earlier cartridge filters were used, requiring the filter be placed into a housing or canister.......
Great Oil Filter`s + Great Price = loyal customers ps. I use the (yellow) pureOne not the black motorcycle filters on my 600rr.

Upon the recommendation from the370z.com community, I used this on my first couple of oil changes on my 2010 Nissan Z. While the model detector on Amazon says this does not fit the Z, I assure you that it does and it works just fine. 7k miles and two oil changes and not a single issue. Added a filter magnet to it SS250 FilterMag and you're good to go. Great filter.
