Purolator PL20195 PureONE Oil Filter (Pack of 2)

HQ Filter at low ball price.

Did my research and this is the best oil filter on the US marketplace in terms of internal design. You will find it to be very easy to remove or spin on. Do not buy any other purolator filter other than the PureONE line as they go from a rolls royce to a Yugo in one foul swoop.

Great Value

I cut open filters that fit the same car from Fram (Tough Guard)' Mobil 1, and this Pure 1 filter. You cannot tell what size particles are captured by the media this way (Mobil 1 and Pure 1 claim synthetic media), but you can count pleets. The Pure 1 had nearly twice as many, and the bypass and general construction seems to be better also. And the Pure 1 costs about half of what the Mobil 1 filter costs.

These filters (PL20195) were bought as a replacement for the Toyota filters that are found on the 2.5L D-4D diesel engine in the Toyota Hilux pickup truck. They are of a very high quality as judged by the sealing gasket, the anti-drain back valve and its weight.
Filter is being used with Mobil 1 Delvac 15W-40 Fully Synthetic engine oil and the engine noise has certainly reduced from its previous dino based lubricant.
In my country, the Toyota dealership(TTTL) charges about US$28 for one filter; purchasing online and having the filters shipped cost me about US$13 for one.

I highly recommend this filter as a high quality replacement that doesn't break the bank or if you plan to extend oil drain intervals.

Now the technical stuff for people that want to know:
PL20195 = PL20064 minus the pressure relief bypass valve (exactly the same dimensions)
PL20195 is a longer version of the PL10241
PL20064 is a longer version of the PL10028

The larger the filter usually means:
1)that it takes longer for the oil pump to fill it.
2)that there is more filter medium to trap more contaminants out of your oil
3)that the oil will pass through the filter medium slower
4)theoretically that a higher RPM will be required to activate the filter bypass valve (which means that you can rev your engine slightly higher without the oil bypassing the filter medium) - this really depends on the PSI that the pressure relief valve was designed with, but if a small filter and a larger filter have the same PSI value for the "relief" then this theory shoul hold true.

AWESOME OIL FILTER

THE PUROLATOR FILTER IS MADE VERY WELL AND YOU CAN'T BEAT THE PRICE.I'VE ALWAY PURCHASED OEM MOPAR OIL FILTERS FOR MY DODGE TRUCKS.I FOUND OUT THAT PUROLATOR MAKES MOPAR OIL FILTERS.I ORDERED THE PUREONE FILTERS THERE A STEP UP FROM THE STANDARD PUROLATOR FILTERS.THEY HAVE A BETTER SEALING GASKET AND MORE FILTER PACKING INSIDE THE FILTER AND A BETTER ANTI-DRAIN BACK VALVE.THE OUTSIDE HOUSING HAS A GRIP SURFACE TO INSTALL AND REMOVE THE FILTER .YOU DON'T HAVE TO MESS WITH A FILTER WRENCH.SOME VEHICLES ARE A HASSLE SOMETIMES TRYING TO GET THE FILTER ON AND OFF WITH A FILTER WRENCH.ITS JUST ANOTHER GOOD FEATURE.

Best filter for the money

I can't argue with anything the other reviewers have written. I have a Dodge SRT-4 and I think if you're going to use synthetic oil (I also use Mobil-1) you should pair it up with one of the best filters available. I have researched this a fair bit and Purolator PureONE is one of the best.
