Default Purolator Pureone oil filter

Well, a few months ago I managed to get my hands on to 2 purolator oil filters to try out. The second one went into the car yesterday.. the first one came out.
So what did I think of it? Well, to be honest, I was a bit surprised. I figured an oil filter is an oil filter, not much difference. I was wrong. Overall, I can say that the purolator filter was easily the best filter I’ve had in the car. It simply kept the oil cleaner for longer. So long in fact that I actually skipped a regular service just to test it out and see what it could do.
I used to change oil every 5000kms. At that stage it was usually black as tar and felt like water (yes, even penrite). With the purolator the oil stayed in better condition for longer so I went to 7000kms. At that point the oil started to break down very rapidly regardless. So with this one I’m going back to the 5000kms intervals but there will be a difference. I will still change as often as I used to but the oil coming out will be in better condition… that to me means that the engine protection has to be better as I’m not letting the oil degrade as much while the engine is using it. The purolator filter has won me, seems to do the job better than all the others I’ve tried and given the hard time I’ve given my engine it will need all the protection it can get!

(for the record I'm trying Havoline semi-synth oil this time.. just to see if it is any good)
