Royal Purple oil filters?

[babbage]

I was looking at the RP site and noticed they offer oil filters.

I always stay with Motorcraft as they have the BEST anti-drain back valves of the others I've tried - on my old CV for example.

Anyhoo - I noticed they claim to have a really good heavy silicone anti-drain back valve.

It may have differnt specs than Fords and might have to see what the difference is if any.

I've used the filter before. I never had my oil sent out for analysis so I have no clue if it worked as well or better then a motorcraft. I trust their lubricants so I would trust their filters.

Purolator PureONE Oil Filters are 99.9% Efficient*
What does 99.9% efficiency mean? It means that 99.9% of all contaminants that pass through a PureONE oil filter are captured in the media. Even microscopic particles get trapped in PureONE's exclusive Micronic media, saving your engine from damage.


How much is 13 grams?

13 grams =
8 nails
13 grams = 20 nuts
13 grams = 31 paper clips

What types of contaminants are being filtered out?
Common contaminants can kick up from the road and damage your engine - like dirt, metal shavings, bugs, and more – up to 13 grams worth! That equates to 8 nails … or 20 nuts … or 31 paper clips worth of damaging particles that could get into your engine if it weren’t protected by a PureONE oil filter.

100% Covered in Textured Grip Control
All PureONE oil filters feature specially textured paint that helps keep the filter from slipping when you’re installing or removing the filter. And, that paint covers the ENTIRE filter, so no matter where you grab, you have a little textured grip assistance. Even if you're installing your filter at an awkward angle or your hands are slippery from oil, the textured grip control on a PureONE oil filter helps maximize your grip for better control. So put away your filter wrenches and pick up the ONE filter on the shelf that’s completely covered in grip texture – Purolator PureONE oil filter.

Cost would be an issue for me, I never had a problem with the Motorcraft filters. There pretty hard to beat for the money!

I'd think you'd pay more for a PR filter because of the name.

motorcraft FTW. its 3 bucks at wally world and what came on the car. how can you go wrong?

Royal Purple filters are made by Champion Laboratories (no relation to the sparkplug people) and aside from the ADBV being purple, they're the same filter as the Mobil 1 and K&N, which are also made by Champion. All 3 are excellent filters, but way overpriced.

Motorcraft FL820S FTW!
