Query on Purolator Air Filters

[attyallanlatras]

Has anyone tried this brand of air filter? I searched here and what I found here for this brand is the oil filter...I am planning to change my air filter for my innova and a store here in SM Cebu sells this brand of air filter and cheaper by 400+ pesos than the stock sa Toyota...

Purolator makes great air filters, that's if they are not knock off versions of them.

^ Agree, the ones sold at ACE Hardware are not of good quality IMO, maybe fakes, bought one before and the glue is sticking out. Although I may be wrong though.

That's a low quality reproduction, definitely not the quality of the ones sold in the US. And not a real purolator part number

^ hehe, that's what I thought, anyway it's disposable.

Purolator: Pure oil now, pure oil later.

How do we determine if genuine ang purolator na air filter? But kung yung price is an indicator, yung para sa inova ko is P699.00 then it must be fake...tama ba ako?

[dvldoc]

No country of origin on the box is the biggest clue, if you see overlaping glue and poor uneven construction that's the other clue.

You can also do a online search for the real thing then compare.

Malinaw ang printing on the original packaging. Look alikes have watered down/not sharp printing.

Up ko lang this thread regarding Purolator Oil Filter. Bought one from its Distributor - All Inclusive in C. Raymundo Pasig.

and compared it to the ones sold at ACE hardware Mega. its looks exactly the same even the label where its indicated for

what vehicle is for, the label is for local vehicles like innova, vios etc.. ALL INCLUSIVE carries Bendix, NGK, Mann Hummel,
Splitfire,FC etc..

I think they are the supplier of ACE , saw also Splitfire hallogen bulb on display at Ace. The print on the box looks clear and the filter mukhang maayos naman pagkagawa. my neighbor also uses PUROLATOR with no issues bought at ALL INclusive.

All INCLUSIVE is a big distributor of auto parts. i think might not be made in the USA but maybe made elsewhere for

asian market. but still genuine. what do you think?

ako di na ako gagamit ng non-OEM... kahit sa parts store fake din yng orig daw na OEM filter sold at 10% less of the CASA price...

napaka hirap kase mag linis ng throttle body ng drive-by-wire...

Last time I checked kaduda-duda eh. Hindi maganda print niya, parang tinipid, something you would expect out of a counterfeit product.
