The orange filter cost me $1,800. That manufacturer lost shelf space in the #1 auto parts retailer in America because that paper end cap was costing them a lot of grief – and us. Apparently production had elther lost control of getting it sealed down, or the move to a new plant (out of the country?) didn’t work out.
I won’t use them, although the situation seems to have been fixed. Now the auto parts company I presently work for has changed it’s house filter from Purolator to the ones with paper end caps. We got a lot of preemptive “training” on it during the switch to convince us it was a good deal. It was obvious they were aware of the situation by reinforcing the “advantages” and “selling points.”
The $2 dollar difference in the price of a filter will never save you enough money to make up for an $1,800 engine replacement. You get what you pay for.
And, in a sense of fairness – a dumpster wouldn’t be cover either. I still don’t understand why car door would be – go shoot one and see for yourself.
Surf it online, it’s been a controversy before the internet even existed, and the public hasn’t a clue.
so the point is that cardboard will foul the cavity in a hollow point and thus render it completely ineffective= cardboard is cover/ concealment, got it 🙂

I knew they were going to laugh at Fram. Those filters are garbage…
I wonder if they realise that you can make a suppressor from an oil filter…
