PurolatorBOSS

I have started using these oil fiters on all my vehicles after watching reviews and product tests on Brand Ranks YouTube channel. To me it is worth the premium price they charge for it. I just changed the oil and filter in my RAV4 and decided to get another one to have on hand when I change oil again. This car uses a separate oil filter element that is placed into a permanent filter cartridge housing. The filter box contains the filter, cartridge housing O ring, cartridge housing drain O ring, and a plastic cartridge housing drain tool. The oil filter was ordered on March 6th and was delivered on March 7th.

It's hard to rate an oil filter unless you cut them apart and inspect them under a microscope. I did not do that. These have a anti drain back valve, appear to be well constructed, and the brand is a very reputable one. These are not the least expensive and I hope that my extra money spent better protects my cars using this specific model from this manufacturer. Only time will tell! Since I have nothing bad to say and don't know of any problems that these cause or performance failures they may possess, I'm giving it five stars by default.

Filter includes all the necessary components in regard to the filter. Been using Purolator products for many years. Haven't had any issues at all.

To those complain about this filter being small, I compared it with Mobil1 oil filter for my 2017 Sienna and they’re about the same size, but looks nicer & higher quality. This will be my brand going forward!

You can watch videos of this filter being the top filter in the way it catches small and large debris. Will only use this filter

8/24/2024 Update The family had a road trip and the car is at 8k miles with the Purolator Boss filter and Pennzoil Ultra Platinum. Checked the oil and surprised that it looks almost as clean as the day we put in the oil. This is my now go to set up for most of my cars. Too bad they don’t make this filter for the Toyota hybrids. Base on all of the research, Purolator boss is the only filter that is for fully synthetic. I haven’t done enough of my personal research to see if it is worth the price jump. This specific purolator boss cost more than other purolator boss without the can. This one specifically was for my 2014 Toyota Sienna XLE. I don’t under stand with my Mazda that comes with the thickest can to protect the pressure yet with this model, you’re just a filter by itself with near twice the cost. Make it make sense. I’ll still buy it btw base on the research. Update 9/8/2024 2014 Toyota Sienna XLE Changed with Pennzoil Ultra Platinum at 205948 miles. Changed out with Platinum High Mileage at 214728. Will update for high mileage. Almost 9k miles and the oil looked clean on the dip stick. It was kind of brown coming out the drain. I matched the oil with the Purolator Boss. I used to do my oil change at the Valvoline stations. I stopped trusting them after they left the old filter on. Also, they use the lowest grade oil and filter. It used to look dark brown at 4-5k miles. It looked black referring to the manual change intervals at 8k miles. This is by far my best set up for oil changes. Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 0w-20 and Purolator Boss. I use the same set up for my 2016 Mazda 3 2.5L. This is the only oil change set up that I would suggest if you’re planning to go with your manual oil change intervals which is usually higher than suggested.

UPDATE: One year later, I changed the oil filter after 15,500 miles (was paired with Supertech advanced full synthetic oil 20000) and the oil seemed to be free of particles. The filter was intact and filled with particles but nevertheless in good condition after so many miles. My car engine felt good over the 15,500 miles - very smooth. I am now a big fan of BOSS Purolator filters. I believe that this is the best oil filter as the its made of quality materials. Well worth the money. There are some videos on youtube explaining the materials in the filter. I highly recommend this filter! Perfect fit for a 2012 Toyota rav4 V6. The quality of this Purolator Boss filter is superb. There are some reviews on Amazon with concerns about the small size of the filter. I don't think this is an issue as the filter seems to be made of high quality material compared to the bigger non-synthetic filters.

Good quality and construction appears durable.

I keep coming back to these Purolator filters. Very pleased with the results. Manufacturers are not making vehicles to last any more. They are selling transportation appliances that will appeal to persons who like flashing lights in the dash but will go out of fashion in a short time causing consumers to "need" a new vehicle (because they need to "be fashionable" and they are built in a way that prevents you from doing the repairs. Suggestion: Get a reliable vehicle. Take care of it. Drive it smoothly. Do the maintanance. Change the oil... and use a good filter. These Purolator filters are hard to beat.

Great oil filter that is reliable and effective. Purolator is one of the best!

Based on online tests, the Purolator Boss are probably the best filters available. They filter well, flow well in cold weather, and hold much more than most. Highly recommended.
