Thank you Pete for opening up Heather and I MGB GT’s Oil Filter! We got the MGB GT last Summer. We always use Purflux Oil Filters for our 4 other vehicles.
You're Welcome Colin
Thanks for the oil filter👍💯
That media design is ingenious - a way to add additional filter media in the same space. Plus a coil spring. Interesting.
I kind of doubt you actually get more media than the typical pleats. Probably less.
Ironically, you get less media with this design
The video shows 336 square inches of media for a 4 inch wide filter. That’s a lot of media.
@@jeffkortsch8276Exactly! No idea what these 2 guys are talking about. These oil filters have always been great and great quality.
@@colindubord4239 Simple math shows it has more filter media than a filter with the same depth pleats that are straight across the filter - 4 x 66 = 264 square inches and this filter has 336 square inches. Maybe somewhere 336 is less than 264 but not here.
That is a well-made and well-designed filter - probably pretty expensive.
They aren’t bad, but I get them overseas, so it’s the shipping that is the expensive part.
@@colindubord4239thanks for sharing…… personal, I stay with Domestic ( if I can) PUROLATOR/ NAPA/ Rp..
Thanks, “ oddly “ real interesting…my hunch, is other “Countries oil filters” , could be real interesting
Not %100 but Purlux is made by Sogefi / Fram ! a joint venture since 1984 ! I seen on " bob is the oil guy " site ! Not all purlux oil filters have the chevron pleating so it may be model specific ! I also would recommend more frequent oil changes ! That oil looked pretty crummy ! All n All cool video ! 👍👍
Hi Scotty
Thanks for Sharing👍
Owned by sogefi. Quality of some items has declined in the last few years. Some items they make 2 different versions of, example ls867b they replaced the high quality made in France version with generic cheapo far East (Indonesia?) copy with straight pleats. However they do still make the original in France now part number ls867by and the price has also almost tripled. They produce some oem stuff, fuel filter housing was sogefi made on my dad's car, fram and purflux oem filters were identical with a cheaper option also available. Had a uk made purflux air filter fail badly in less than a year, foam split and let all kinds of grit pass. Another for a different vehicle was split in a seam/pleat from factory. In summary, made in France purflux good, otherwise look elsewhere.
Never heard of that brand before!
It's a Euro filter brand from a French company.
suis Français , et chaque fois j'essaye d utiliser PURFLUX a cause de son système de filtre plié , avec une grande surface , c est une marque leader chez nous , et en première monte chez nos voitures françaises. En plus chez VW/audi , vidanges long life 30 000KM.
Odd looking filter, but definitely one of good quality. Great video whip! 👍🏼🇨🇦
Thanks 404👍💯
Another ADBV similar to the one on the Bentley filter.
Gary, Purflux are the ones that make the Bentley Oil Filter. It might be less expensive to go straight through Purflux.
This looks like a top notch filter. I would use it. Keep up the Great work.
Thanks😊👍
Those zigzag filters cram so much more media in there. It makes me wonder if there’s a reason other than cost keeping it from being used more widely.
I seriously doubt there's more filter media in there than a standard pleated filter. You could triple the number of pleats in there without the zig zag
Purflux/sogefi holds a patent for the chevron pleats I believe.
Love Oil Filter Fridays! 🛢 👍🏾
THose purolflux filters are pretty funky with the zigzagged pleats but it is ingenious.
THat engine probably needs a really good flush. Same for the fuel system. I'd love to know where they bought that filter.
Nice job, Pete.
Thanks, Jim👍💯
@@WhipCityWrencher always enjoy Tuesday and Friday mornings
That rubber flap anti-drainback valve reminds me of the Kmart filter you cut open. I guess it does work after all.
Yes, it is similar.
My $1 Auto-Xtra filter from Rock Auto hit 1 year old today in my 5.4L FX4. Just 2 more years to go before I plan to change the oil.
I only drive that truck 800 miles a year, entirely highway. If I wasn't worried about the oil filters rusting through, I'd probably leave them in there for a full 5000 miles.
Not a very smart idea at all. There's a reason manufacturers say "or every six months". The fuel that bypasses your pistol rings into the oil will be rotten way before your "2 more years" is up. Varnish from rotten gas isn't a lubricate at all. It actually can be very abrasive and wipe your bearing out prematurity.
Smells like mine! Lol very beautiful!!!
Hey Whip, hope u don't drink black coffee.😂🤣 Yes, looks like it's a good filter, but not sure how long between his oil changes. Perhaps he should change more often. I hope he changes it right before storing it. Looks like a nice car.👍
LOL 🤣
Thanks for a great start to my day. First time I have ever seen a chevron style filter media. Great video as always. Thank you 😊
You're Welcome Thanks!
Excellent 👍 review and sharing 😊. TFS Pete
Thanks, Merri
Have a Great Week👍
Reminds me of a Bosch, seems good.
Definitely a very well made filter. The anti drain back looks like Kmart evolved. 😂
As for that oil, running that weight of oil. I'm surprised. I understand it was a BL product, but usually don't go past HD30 or 10-40. Thinner oil might help the soot.
The MG’s call for 20w50 actually. I use 15w50 because I try to take it out early Spring and put it away late Fall. But my oil was very dirty for under 3k. Flushing is to risky for this old motor.
@@colindubord4239
Hey Colin
Run a diesel oil as 10w30 shell t5 for a short run about 1k. The detergent package should clean it up really good without running any chemicals. Good luck.
@@rickbrown7067 great Idea Rick! Thank you Sir!
@@colindubord4239 I'm surprised it would call for something so heavy. I mean seriously baffled, that is heavier than what the service manual called for in my 1948 Ford 2N tractor. If those engines weren't so hard to come by, i would try to bring it to HD 30 or 10w30 or 15w40. I wish i knew more about those engines. They didn't bring many to the States.
Nice oil filter 👍 they need to change oil more often great job Sir 💯
Those old English engines weren't exactly the cleanest burning things in the world.
Thanks👍💯
I’m surprised it was that dirty too. I ran it under 3k miles. But these Purflux oil filters are great! I use them in my other vehicles too.
@@colindubord4239 You probably have some carbon buildup and those old English motors weren't the cleanest things in the world. The oil in an old Series III Land Rover will look like the oil was strained though coal dust even after a few miles. I have a diesel powered land rover 90 that I change the oil every 6 months for that reason.
Where did you get the filter if I may ask?
@@jamescaron6465 no kidding! That’s a very nice ride you have! I’m thinking too that the original owner used Dino oil. Where we are using full synthetic. Full synthetic has more detergents in it. Maybe it’s getting cleaned out. You think I should do 1k oil changes till she cleans up?
👍 great info
This is one of the best filters I've seen so far. I'll look for this brand, next oil change.
i think that cool fitfer.
Oil needs to be changed more often very dark great filter
I’m surprised too. I changed it under 3k miles. I know these aren’t the cleanest running engines but I’ll have to figure something out.
We struck oil, thanks really good video. Interesting filter. Love the zig zags, looks like a well made filter.
You're Welcome👍💯
Thanks!

I try and make an oil filter inspection video every Friday on this CZcams channel, Thank You!
😊
4:20 ,like my brew nice & dark ☕️
Quite an interesting looking filter. I wonder if the pattern of the pleats actually help filtration. Neat to see!
Be cool if some of the Canadian would send some of their filters and the prices to Pete
Well made Oil Filter. 15W-50 that's a " Thiccc " Oil. Very few cars run on /50 Engine Oils Now Dayz. Only one that I can think of is Shelby GT Series, runs on 5W-50.
Oil so dark, looks like it's off a diesel engine? If not, one of the blackest post use gas engine oils I've seen. Typical Purflux using chevron pleating. Folks like to say it allows for more media area, but I've always wondered if more straight tight uniform pleats wouldn't/couldn't fit in same area. Deep thoughts.😃 Purflux looks to be well made filter, but imagine on expensive side. With that be nice to have an efficiency rating. Thanks for vid.
You're Welcome faxmen09👍
@@WhipCityWrencher I just went back and noted the vehicle, highly unlikely MG a diesel. I'd expect black sooty oil from a diesel. Gas engine, not like what's shown. But it is a 50 year old engine.
That's a fine filter. Impossible to find for my car, but fine noetheless haha
Hope you are having a great day so far dear Mr. Whip City Wrencher! Please tell me how to send a used engine oil filter over to you for presentation all the way from Vancouver Canada. Many thanks and love the content in your channel.
Sure, send me an email and let me know what you want to send me. Poker4me007@gmail.com
Looks like a generous amount of filter media. Did you determine if it's a conventional or synthetic media?? Have definitely seen more substantial anti-drainback valves on this video, but it seemed to be doing its job.
It's not 100% synthetic, I think it's a synthetic blend media. JMHO
Great video WhipCityWrencher. 🔧
Thanks, WrenchingMafia👍💯
Don't accidentally drink that coffee later
I wonder how much more media the zigzags actually get in there vs a straight pleat with tighter spacing. Do you have any other filters that were approximately the same size that use a lot of straight pleat media, like a Boss maybe?
No, I don't, but any polymer or wire-backed filter would probably have less filter media.
@@WhipCityWrencherPurflux often makes 2 versions of the same filter one straight (economy, far east) and one chevron (Made in France, good/oem). The French made ones are better all round, thick can, nice looking core etc.
didn´t catch much ? Imagine all that soot particles floating in your oil... soot is abrasive...you don´t want that going through a bearing... for just 2800 miles that is quite some soot for me
Made in France, maybe it was designed to filter the sludge out of wine 🍷 🤔
😊
It's made with Swiss cheese, Lol.
The way it looks to me seems like holding way too much debries with a cheapest quality and poor design .The oil pump could've been by now contaminated with a little % on oil pam. I would suggest the owner of this car to use higher quality of filters to clean that emgine and oil change of 3K miles or less to mantain more lube and cleaness in the piston rings. I bet the oil pam is as much dirty as the filter condition 😬
The Florida pool pump motor repair guy 32750 approved ! that was good info & see WCW
Thanks, Jay👍
old oil looks like " diesel " oil... 😝 don't like this filter @ all... 😖
👍
