FYI: Larger oil filter at no additional cost

[Jerry Bransford]

The Purolator PL30001 does in fact fit. I tried their blue Pure One version of the PL30001 filter on a previous oil change with no complaints. They claim 99% dirt removal with the blue Pure One. Silicone seal and silicone anti-drain back valve.

That also describes the Fram Tough Guard I run in my TJ and my wife's Lexus... 99% filtration efficiency and silicone seal & anti-drainback valve.

That is what I run as well. Perfect for a 5k oil change interval. Glad to hear Fram wasn’t afraid to admit their deficiencies and decided to step up their game, that was an interesting read. I see Gary is in now in Perrysbug, OH and per Google it looks like Fram sold the Dayton site for 21 million recently. Perhaps they moved the Dayton operation to Perrysburg, not sure. Good stuff, thanks.

One more factor that is important to a filter is its filtration efficiency. Some are as high as 99%, others are only 95%. That means one is letting 5X as many dirt particulates through... 1% vs. 5%. It's surprising how some expensive filters are only 95% efficient.

So you’re saying I should put a K&N air filter on my TJ to get massive power gains and “not” let deadly dust in because it’s more expensive and therefore better than stock

Not sure what's in the way on yours, but a 51515 fits into mine without any complaints or undue struggling.

The filter on my CJ:

The filter on my son's YJ;

The filter on my TJ;

Just more stuff in the way in general over the years.

From that direction, yes. I usually go the other way.

I usually use a Fram Extreme PH8A. No real reason, just easy to find and a tad bit more oil. I have no evidence to back up either of my claims.
