Purolator PBL14612 PurolatorBOSS Maximum Engine Protection Spin On Oil Filter Compatible With Nissan Altima, Rogue, Sentra, Murano, Versa, Maxima, Mazda 3, CX-5, CX-9, CX-30, 6, INFINITI QX60 and Q50

Best filter on the market hands down. Filters over double the contamination amount as a standard full synthetic oil filter. All metal inside and out with silicone gaskets and full synthetic filter media thats reinforced. I use it in my 2013 sentra sv and change oil every 10k miles using this oil filter and a 20k extended drain motor oil with zero issues. I only need to change oil 1x to 2x a year this filter lasts a whole year without breaking down while filtering great still. Fit and seals perfect for my 2013 nissan sentra sv.

Background: When I was younger, my dad would always buy the cheaper Purolator filters that worked okay before the 2013 acquisition from the German filter company Mann + Hummel. Now, with Mann + Hummel you can expect Purolator Filters are great everyday filters and will get the job done. Nevertheless, if you’re looking for a high-end synthetic oil filter, then Purolator Boss filter is literally the pinnacle of all oil filters. Okay, a little bit of a drag but if you’re looking for an oil filter for your daily vehicle, look no further. We’ve have used these Boss filters in the past and works out great. My review is based on the PBL14612 oil filter for my 2021 Mazda 3 Hatchback. Purolator Boss Oil Filter: Made in USA! 🇺🇸 (Fayetteville, NC) Rated for 15,000 miles, the oil filter itself is well made. 8 average size inlet holes, silicone anti-drain back valve, and the media is a 100% synthetic media and reminds me of a blend between synthetic and nano-technologies medias used in other racing filters. The media itself is reinforced so the media can withstand a lot of abuse. It’s super strong and you can’t rip of the media itself. (Look up videos online to see these filters cut open) The gasket is an ethylene-acrylic and seems to hold up well from my last oil change. It also has a steel casing which can withstand higher burst pressures. The shell seems very durable and it’s painted very beautifully, probably the best paint job on an oil filter ever. Competitors: Purolator Boss competes with Fram Ultra Guard or Fram Titanium, Champion Laboratories (VP Racing), Wix XP, Napa Platinum, Mobil 1 Extended Performance, Royal Purple etc. In comparison from Purolator Boss PBL14612 to VP Racing 2876 for my 2021 Mazda 3 Hatchback, both filters are phenomenal. However, I prefer the Purolator Boss more simply because, it’s taller perhaps more filter media. Heavier when compared to VP2876 and it has the steel casing inside. Pros: - Everything! Cons: - Price: I wish it was a bit cheaper since $16.99 seems too much for an oil filter. - Gasket is a bit too skinny. Verdict: Hands down, one of the greatest synthetic oil filters on the market today. The overall construction of the oil filter and the reputation from Purolator backed by Mann + Hummel (OEM Filters for Mercedes-Benz) is a really good sell. Many filter heads have praised the Boss filters for being great. I believe the boss filters can go up to 15,000 miles however, manufactures always recommend to follow oil change intervals on your owners manual. I will never put my engine in such stress so I change my oil and filter every 5,000 miles just for safety. I don’t necessarily need the boss filter for my application but, I use the boss filter anyways simply because of the prestigious quality.

Best Quality to Price Ratio in engine oil filters so far !!! Well designed and manufactured. Made in the USA !!! Five Stars !!!

I use these on my vehicles and never had any issues.

Purolator Boss and WIX XP filters are the top end in automotive oil filtration, in my opinion. Spend some time watching video comparisons of different manufacturers' filters that have been cut open and you will walk away a believer. These filters are great. I generally buy whichever of the 2 is cheapest and in stock when I need them - and avoid everything else. Particularly the brand with the flashy colored filters. Most of those use paper end caps on the filter media rather than metal (seriously?). The only reason I didn't give this filter a 5 star rating is because of the product packaging. The box looks nice and pretty with laminated foil accents, but I don't buy an oil filter to be dazzled by the box. The cardboard (paper really) construction is so flimsy that it provides no protection to the product. I don't like buying something meant to filter micron size dirt particles only to have the filter rattle around loose in the shipping packaging all the way to my shop. If I remember correctly, every single Purolator Boss filter I've purchased has shed its packaging on the way to my address. The WIX XP box is slightly more substantial and holds up better.

Excelente producto y excelente calidad

Quality oil filter. Fits the car mentioned above!

Have got done using first filter and can say son's oil was cleaner when drained than with past filters I used, now it wasn't used for 20000 miles so can't speak to that and won't but I plan to keep using these in my other 5 vechiles.

No complaints

Excelente filtro, se percibe la buena calidad, queda perfecto en Sentra 2014. Marca de prestigio.

I received it open, and there was no plastic cover on the bottom. I suspect that’s because of Saudi Arabia customs, which they don’t respect people’s purchases.

Después de realizar una búsqueda este es un buen filtro, lo recomiendo.
