No issues with Purolator filters, have used them for years, on the other hand Bosch Oxygen Sensors are next to worthless, I never got them to work right, I had better luck with OS's pulled off mopar wrecks in the Pull Apart salvage yards...Sir Moses Wellington said:Purolator is owned by Bosch, never had any issues with their filters, or really any of their products.
