Purolators are only made in Mexico, Canada and the US as far as I know. Plus no country of origin = fake. Can't get around that one. Someone high up got these into the supply systems. Ace has a contract with Fram/Honeywell to sell the Fram and Defense oil filters don't see why that would not apply there as well. The only Purolators they carry are aircon filters.

But will they work? Probably so, but why are they P499. and the Vic C-313 P900 that's the question you should ask yourself especially for a basically US Brand oil filter that has to be shipped half way around the world to get there.

But obviously they sell them and they perform the function of filtration but you will never know how well or if the specs are truly right.

Here's the specs on that filter
Specifications: Anti-Drain Back Valve No Height 4.98 O.D. 4.06 Relief Valve P.S.I. 15 Threads M26x1.5-6H Type of Filter Spin-on
A simple measurement can also give you a heads up about if it's original or not.

Back to fleetguard these are all the Manufacture sites and there certifications
