Purolator One Oil Filter PL14670 Cut Open vs. Carquest 85085 Oil Filter Cut Open Comparison

[@jamescaron6465]

Great Job Pete. It looks like somebody was hungover when that PureOne was made. At least the media was comparable though the Carquest was cheaper. Since she only puts about 1500 miles on it a year, I'll probably stick with the Carquest blue. Thanks again Pete!

[@WhipCityWrencher]

You're Welcome Jim Thanks for the oil filters👍

[@jamescaron6465]

@@WhipCityWrencher My pleasure, Pete, hopefully it can help out everyone out there to make good decisions.

Chinese made oil filter built quality just keeps getting better and better. It seems that the North American made oil filters built quality hasn’t kept up.

[@WhipCityWrencher]

Sad, but it sure looks that way.☹

[@PapiDoesIt]

Thanks Jim! Your donation is appreciated. These two filters are an example of appearances can be deceiving. The Purolator looks good on the outside but sloppy on the inside, while the Carquest looks better internally but plain on the outside. I try not to buy anything made in China but in this case the one made in USA looks awful.

[@jamescaron6465]

You're welcome!! That Purolator sure does have a nice paint job! Better than some cars!

[@404notfound.....]

As usual a well done thorough video pete! Agreed the carquest oil filter definitely looks better!! 👍🏼🇨🇦

[@WhipCityWrencher]

Thanks 404👍

[@MikeyMack303]

I like the Carquest oil filter better because of the larger holes in the inner core..... probably better flow.

[@scottymoondogjakubin4766]

I pretty much lost faith in purolator oil filters seeing this video and past videos ! I was suspecting sloppy glue ! Its not what they used to be specially for the price ! Sad the made in china carquest is the better filter and probably costs less - coil spring and better filter media ! Nice video ! 👍👍👍

[@WhipCityWrencher]

Thanks, Scotty😊

[@prevost8686]

So far ever BOSS filter that I have used has been superb in construction and quality control. I don’t use any of their other oil filters so I can’t comment on their quality.

[@drosie1214]

Thanks for sharing this one. I just bought a few of the new Carquest premiums as I couldn't pass up the price. I assumed made in USA like previous CQ filters I've used but not the case now. They're identical in construction to this filter here. This is Advances newest creation on the premium side. Heard from an industry insider I know outside of Advance that it's built in Wix's new and most state of the art plant in China. Wix and Purolator all owned by Mann Hummel now. Advance true to their word in offering a premium filter proven right here. I enjoy your vids. Keep up the good work!

[@WhipCityWrencher]

You're Welcome David Thanks!👍💯 and Thanks for Sharing!

[@Greg-w6t]

Carquest hands down. I hate seeing glue all over the filter and a big gap where the seam is. Another good video.

[@WhipCityWrencher]

Thank You👍

[@CWB1863]

It's ridiculous the Pur 1 looks sloppy, yet when it comes to the Boss, it's a much better filter. Granted you pay more, but still it's hard to justify the lower standards. Carquest premium are really good filters, but i'm sticking with the Purolator Boss every other oil change.

[@ellalamont6943]

How nice of Jim to send You these two filters! Another great comparison. 200th Like! Late responding on this video. 👍

The Purolator in this video is still a good oil filter.

[@dcm1f3]

Awesome video! I ised to buy the Purolator One for my one car. Now i use the Purolator Boss.

[@PapaSmurf337]

The Purolator One's are now the old design Purolator Boss. @MACTFordEdge made a video about it a few years ago.

[@goukizx2]

Carquest “Blue” filters used to be made by Wix. Then Mann+Hummel became the parent company for manufacturing oil filters. After Advance Auto Parts bought Carquest who knows what is going on?

Great timing. I'm changing the oil in several of my cars today. 🤠

[@jeffkortsch8276]

I would take the Carquest by the slightest of margins. Holes over louvers and oil spring (preference) over stamped metal retainer spring. Good that both these mid-level filters have silicone anti-drainback valves and gaskets.

[@WhipCityWrencher]

Hi Jeff, I dont know why I said Silicone gaskets they were PTFE coated. I have a burn test video on one coming up soon.

[@Muffin192213]

Generally not a fan of China stuff but the Carquest is a better filter IMO.

[@davidcampbell1899]

The Car Quest is probably a Champ Lab filter. Champ Labs gives all the material and assembly guidelines to the Chinese Filter Mfg. If Champ Labs does good QC att eh Mfg sight, they will make a product just as well as one assembled in America.

[@wicked1172]

More filter media area will trap more contaminates with better flow through.

Happy Friday WhipCityWrencher 🔧, great video, great way to start the day thanks

Thanks Wrenching Mafia, Happy Friday👍

[@steveb2528]

You do great reviews. I’m surprised of the extra glue to seal the media to the metal for the Purolator filter. That should not be there. The thickness of the metal case to me is not important. The case will never blow apart and leak with engine oil pressures. The media and silicone drain back gasket are the most important to me. Keep up the good reviews.

[@WhipCityWrencher]

Thank You, I appreciate it.😊

I think that Purolator uses ptfe treated nitrile?? .. where as these Premium Guard products are silicone afaik.. The Premium Guard Carquest looks like they were paying a little extra attention to all aspects of production.

[@Life2race]

Any way too test if louvers and holes makes a difference in flow

[@maraudersr1043]

Easy choice - Buy American for American. But that is harder than it sounds.

[@WhipCityWrencher]

👍💯

[@faxmen09]

On "appearance" alone, the CQ Blue looks better made. That said, unlike some, the excess potting on the P1, doesn't concern me. Be nice if it was cleaner looking though. The P1 sealing gasket PTFE coated nitrile, at least that's what it has been. Being familiar with the price for both, the CQ Blue is the winner. It's much like the Microgard Select without the fancy texture can, and much lower cost. Probably a Premium Guard made filter too. While I would use either filter and prefer the P1 coo, the CQ Blue is the better value. Thanks for the vid.

[@WhipCityWrencher]

You're Welcome faxmen09 You are correct the gasket is PTFE coated I said silicone by mistake. I tried to fix it with text in the video but not sure if KZbin put it in yet. Thanks👍

@@WhipCityWrencher I believe the CQ, if you test that one, is silicone. At least that's what the Premium Guard made filters are supposed to be. Fyi, you have to ask for the CQ at AAP because it's behind the counter.

The Purolator filter has a nitrile rubber gasket that is coated with PTFE, i.e. "Teflon." It's not silicone.

Whip.. You should burn these two gaskets and see what you get just for the heck of it.

[@WhipCityWrencher]

I do burn a Purolator One oil filter gasket coming up soon.

[@tyh6243]

They'll both work. They'll filter the oil, they'll bypass if there's too much pressure, they won't disintegrate into the engine, the can walls won't rupture, neither will fly off the threaded nipple. They'll just work and a driver won't tell the difference. Neither will lead to longer engine life over the other for the typical driver. I'll pick a US made product over a Chinese product every day of the week, though. No sense giving money to people who want to harm us.

[@WhipCityWrencher]

👍

[@anish-79]

This one has to be a Tie. Puralator has more filter media and car quest better build.

[@briandenisefarmer333]

I am less concerned about how clean and pretty the filter looks or how much of a gap is in between the pleats. The real test is how well they actually filter contaminants out of the oil. How much oil can flow with the lowest restriction and how much capacity to hold the contaminants. There’s a much better way to determine a filter’s actual performance of keeping your oil and engine protected than simply cutting it open and taking simple visual measurements of can and filter. While I appreciate the informational content, it’s not what I use to determine best oil filtration filter for my cars.

[@barenekid9695]

Likely Both 'Fabrique en Chine" 😂

[@hansenriquerach-mendoza3515]

Carquest fabric is made in China with a good design company and bad out performance filtering. Puralator has better material already quality check. Do not be deceiving by the design while the filtering hides the truth after 3k mileages. You need to make another video using the same filters into the same car. And you would be quite surprised.

[@daewooparts]

Purolator has the fancy paintjob but ugly on the insides ! ....maybe they should spend the money on better materials & workmanship instead of a nice pretty can !

[@UncleOodoo]

Purolator quality has gone to hell. Very disappointing and makes me not to want to ever consider buying.

[@Life2race]

Shame us quality does not mean anything anymore

[@aaronatwood9298]

Ok... Mann filters have become crap. Sure, teflon coat the gasket, but pleats don't go the edge of the caps, the spacing is like a jack o lantern, and it looks like a 2 year old applied the glue... Brand is meaningless, all the Mann filters appear more like this. Its just horrific, especially at that money. Then to be beat out by a carquest china filter. Embarrassing.

[@Funkydood]

Is Purolator going the way of Toyota-down the drain???

[@WhipCityWrencher]

The Purolator Boss oil filters are the only ones I've opened that seem to have no problems.

[@prevost8686]

It would not shock me what Mann Hummel may have in store for Wix and Purolator brands. More and more of Wix oil filters are being produced in China instead of their North Carolina plant. I used to use Wix pretty much exclusively for my personal equipment but not so much anymore. I run the BOSS on several engines and so far every single one of them has been impressive in build quality.

[@elcano9l52]

All the China made filters I’ve seen lately have way better construction quality than most of the USA made ones. With increasing wages, and an uncommitted workforce, looks like Made in USA does not mean the same thing it used to…

[@prevost8686]

I avoid their products as much as it’s practically possible. It’s nothing but absolute greed that causes manufacturers to ignore China’s human rights abuses, pollution, and their dabbing in deadly bio weapons that killed millions of people worldwide. Their communist regime is as bad as N. Korea yet our corrupt politicians have sold their souls and our country for money from the Communist government. Whenever I can I will not buy their products but unfortunately they have bankrupted many American manufacturers that simply cannot compete with slave labor, few regulations, and currency manipulation. I’ve got a cemetery full of relatives who fought and some gave their lives fighting against Communism .

[@hansenriquerach-mendoza3515]

Pulorator would be the best option. Best quality of filtering material the best for oil preassure cleaning in the oil pump. Carquest is another bad chiness quality. Wrong pick !

[@WhipCityWrencher]

I just said which one between the two I would pick as a better filter. I wouldn't use either one as I like and use the USA-made Purolator Boss oil filters.

@@WhipCityWrencher I heard you said your would take as quality wise carquest it is in deed an ironic choice as a least option. Purolator Boss is obviously a good savvy pick as they wellknown filter quality in all his manufacturer designs.
