Need a favor, I am trying to take care of the ACE hardware Purolator issue, What I need is a Photo of a filter from there with a clear shot of the top of the filter to see if there is a date stamp on the top of the filter as well as a shot of the filter it self.

Let's see if we can force them to sell the real deal as well. I am in communication with the Associate Product Manager here in the states to get this issue resolved.
I was not able to take pictures of the top last wednesday but I did notice a stamp on top of it. Unfortunately also, no L45262 was available for 4M40. Just the L34750 for 4D56 engines although thread is about the same comparing with the available Vic oil filter.

Hope you can persuade them indeed to carry genuine ones! It's a shame for SM.
