I think the 'Tech' is marketed towards professional shops and oil change houses or bulk purchasers. They probably cheapened the filter for a price point, but I really doubt it costs that much for a silicone valve. Never seen that Tech in a retail store but I haven't looked for it. I probably wouldn't buy one of those but I'm sure it's 'good enough' as they say. I think it's mostly for marketing.
Great point Vince!
I don't go to the quick lube places, and I wonder if anyone has seen these Tech oil filters used at these places? I'll pin your comment so it sits on top. Thanks!
Thanks Pete! It looks like Wix and Purolator are becoming more and more like Fram. They figure they'll capture a bigger segment of the market if they make more filters with 1 tiny change. A base level filter with a silicone ADBV and one without. It's also an easy way to split the market for ID'ing DIY'ers with the red can vs pro service and silver can. Seen other companies do it too with other stuff. Different package, same product. I believe Fram had a 'Core' filter that was nothing but an orange can sold to different a customer base (shops).
@@WhipCityWrencher Honestly, I have not seen any Puro Tech filters being used at quick lubes. Maybe some indie shops use them. My point of reference is from bitog.
@@vincemajestyk9497 You're Welcome, Vince!
Fram has them Core filters at their Walmart auto shops,. A Walmart employee told me about them. Here's a video in case you missed it.
ua-cam.com/video/R7Tv9Q9uUMA/v-deo.html&ab_channel=WhipCityWrencher
@@WhipCityWrencher Thanks Pete, I did see that one and it's how I remembered those filters were out there. I saw a Fram corporate video a while ago which was 10 years old and the Fram guy said they've been using those 'engineered' end caps since the '60's. That was an interesting tidbit. I always thought they came out with those in the '80's. There's a Fram corporate channel on youtube with a few videos from the Honeywell days. I do like the Titanium, just not the price. 25% off was a smokin' deal on those.
I bought a case of the tech filters because of the great price. Been running them on my Honda Civic and CRV. I do oil changes every 5K miles and have not had any problems with the Tech version. Some owners overthink these things. Just do on time oil changes and you won't have a problem..
Good attitude friend… First, you own Honda’s, you change your oil ‘on time,’ and you use a filter (bought in bulk) built buy a trustworthy brand - happy motoring.
Yeah, I do at 50% of oil life monitor or 5K miles, or 6 months, whichever comes first.
That's quite a difference in price just for the silicone valve....
Been using this on my 2003 4runner V6 for years without any issues. Use it with conventional oil/blended synthetic and full synthetic. All brands from Mobil 1, Penzoil, Havoline etc.... (all from Walmart BTW). I change the oil every 5000 miles regardless of type of oil. Oh, I also use it on my 1999 Murray (Tecumseh cast iron sleave) Lawn Tractor! Again - no problems! Purolator makes great filters and this is a great deal for those in the "know".
I reached out the purolator and they confirmed that both filters in this video are indeed the same filter minus the adbv material and how they’re sold
I got 6 of the Techs from Amazon for 2.40 each. Cheaper than Fram Extra Guard but seems better built.
Jay the Florida pool pump motor repair guy. When Service Calls Longwood approved ! that was good info 2 know /see👨🔧good job Whip City Wrencher
Thanks, Jay!
Well supposedly these will fit my Husqvarna zero turn with the Kawasaki engine. I was looking for a reasonably priced well made filter for these applications and this well may be it. Anytime I do research on oil filters I ALWAYS end back here. Come on people we need to get Whip up to 100K subscribers. He is the man!
Thanks, Fred👍
Both are nice. Same materials and no sloppy glue. I’d use either one since the filters on my cars hang down, a silicone adbv isn’t a deal breaker.
Nice work man you’re a wealth of information.
Thank You, James!
I appreciate it!😊
Great video..Two very good filters I don't think the silicone anti drain back valve justifies the substantially higher price.
Thank You!
Thinking about a bit more, for the money the Tech filter is a decent value. All things considered including efficiency, much better than most if not all filters quick lubes and shops use. Worth $2.40 for sure. If you're running 3- 5k mile max interval, should be fine.
They both look well made to me.
I used to use Purolater “One” ‘til they became difficult to find in my area - I feel they were well built.
Thank you for the video. These filters for my Honda and it’s good to see the internal construction of these.
You're Welcome, Richard!

@@WhipCityWrencher Thanks! 😊
I was just looking at these filters on amazon for my pickup, and as they seem to be identical to the red ones I have been buying, I'm gonna call it "Good enough" and buy 6 of them for the price of 2.5 red ones
Thanks Pete! A real eye opener. As Mr. Hambrick stated premium price for just a silicone ADV.
You're Welcome, Jonathan!
I'm glad you're back on schedule so now I can comment. But I don't have anything to say. LOL. Great video as usual. 👍

Great job Pete

Both look like good filters. Very good comparison! Hope you have a great weekend! John and I went to Bright Nights last night, haven't been in years; very nice but very cold also! Take care. Merri :)
Hi Merri, Thanks!
I saw the lights the first year and I went a couple times after that but haven't been there for a few years now. The lights and the ride through with the music coming out of the radio is a cool experience. 👍
Hope you didn't have to wait too long in line. Have a great weekend.

Just change oil with proper spec and a spec filter in a timely fashion. No matter, the engine still won’t last forever 🤷♂️, just longer 👍🏻💪😎
I look forward to filter Friday's
I Appreciate it!
Thank You!👍
Another great vid by Whip!
Thank You, John!
Been using the Purolator Tech 14615 on three Subaru vehicles with the filter mounted vertically on top of the engine. ADBV has a job to do in these applications. I do 5K oil change intervals and have had absolutely ZERO issures with the rubber nitrile ADBV on the techs. If you are doing normal oci's the Tech is an absolutely great option in my experience.
Thanks for Sharing👍
worked at PepBoys parts,,, and management told us to sell the regular one to walk in customers. I was told the TECH was used for the auto service department to use only,,, pep boys auto service was same address but they ran it as a separate business/department and used tech filters probably for oil change specials lol
Thanks for Sharing👍
I would use the Tech for the price. $4 isn't worth it to me just for the drain back valve. I am a 6mo oil change person and my vehicles don't get to 3K a year.
Nice review and info. You're the best.
Michael Herrell
Thanks, Michael!
I Appreciate the compliment, Thanks Again!👍
they are both good filters and just like you mention choose the one that fit your application, go with the silicone anti-drain back valve if it is mounted horizontally or upside down.
Ehhh, I've seen nitrile ADBV go over 10K and be fine. Not on my vehicles.
6-7K is max for me and that's also with filtermags.
Thanks, bud!
I've been using the red filter on my '09 Honda Fit since the manufacturer's warranty ran out. I change the oil and filter every 5,000 miles or when the oil life monitor reaches 50% life remaining. At present the car has covered 185,000 miles without any issues (knocking on wood).
Thats Great! Thanks for Sharing👍
You are awesome, saved me $67 on a dozen filters. I owe you a beer ;-)
You're Welcome, Thanks!
My car has had the best results with the TSC purolator and Mobil 1 oil filters. I measure by how quickly the oil pressure light goes off. It's a older Honda and with almost any other brand of filter the light flickers once but with the 2 mentioned above the oil pressure is instant. Just something I've noticed. M1-104a and a pl14459 are what I use. I have a K&N so-1004 because I couldn't find my preferred ones and needed a oil change quickly so I chose the K&N. During winter cold starts it does blink once but that's fair since the 5w30 is probably starting to get a little thicker at these colder temps.
Thanks for Sharing!
You still got your Honda?
I called Purolator about 5 months ago to have them add this to their catalog for the 2022 Nissan Frontier. I would love to see the Nissan factory filter, vs the Purolator red & the top of the line purolator boss. Nissan OE filter pat# is: 15200-AR000
Thanks
Can't promise anything, but I'll try and do that oil filter comparison.
those cross reference to the st6607 filter which is used on many Honda and Nissan the question is is it better then ST6607 (SuperTech). looks like a decent 5k filter. and similar to PG4612 and PPG4612 and ecoGuard x4612
I just bought Purolator tech TL14476 August 2023 and mine are made in India. The sticker still shows Mann Hummel though
Thanks for Sharing👍
Excellent! I purchased a tech filter, couldn't pass up the price. Glad to know the only delta is the anti drain back valve.
They said: "You only get what you pay for."
I believe them, don't you ? 😁
On tons of vehicles the ADBV isn't even needed. I look at micron ratings. Cleaner oil is always better oil.
Thanks for Sharing!👍
@@GT-mn3bx Me, too !! I kinda like the Bosch FILTECH -- 99% @ 20 Microns -- and the FILTERMAG Magnet Kit.
'Cause cleaner oil works best!
Both look to be good quality construction, and both still made in the US, a plus for sure. The Tech a jobber filter for shops, Red is retail oil filter. I didn't realize the Puro Red had a silicone adbv as standard now. It would be nice if the Red a bit lower priced, silicone adbv doesn't seem to justify price difference. Tech likely ok for 5k mile interval. I don't trust calling the CS lines, mostly they just read off a script, and not the most knowledgeable folks. 96.5% @20um would be consistent with what Red has long been, but they should put it on the box. I've been using a version of this same filter made from same factory, Bosch Premium 3323, better efficiency rating. But, last one you posted had Mexico coo from Rock Auto and crappy, won't be ordering or using them again. Thanks for video.
You're Welcome faxmen09!
I just got done replacing a purolator tech oil filter at just over 3,000 miles and the nitrile adb valve did good ! Its a good filter for the price !
Hi Scotty,
Thanks for Sharing!👍
Agreed. For the Amazon price, the Tech filter is pretty good. I'd use it for a standard (not extended) interval.
@@faxmen09 most top mechanics would agree not to go over 5,000 miles synthetic or not ! all my vehicles get an OCI. of about 3,000 + lubricate grease zerks and inspection !
@@scottymoondogjakubin4766 Due respect to whoever those mechanics might be, but personally don't have a problem going past 5k miles with Synthetic oil with proper API/ILSAC Certs and Approvals. To each their own.
After seeing the Honda OEM filter by Fram - I'd take this base filter by Purolator each and every day over the Honda OEM/Fram...Purolator L14610 just so happens to be the filter for my new '24 Odyssey.
I love good quality low cost filter.. the best way to maintain your lovely car is to change the oil on time and do it regularly. I would trust Purolator more because of this video cutout
Hi Scott,
Good Advice!👍
That's some Purolator on Purolator crime right there, Whip. $6.99 for a budget filter that's Made in USA and readily available at TSC isn't bad at all. This may be a good replacement for the STP filters I've been using.
Fwiw, I rather agree with your assessment. $7 on the higher side but not awful for the construction shown
For the same price you can get the One if you shop around. Way better filter micron rating.
👍
Both filters appear to be well made and a good value.
No offense, Dave, but remind me not to send you out to buy Oil Filters. 😁
Both do appear to be well made for a jobber (tech) and lowest/lower (red) tier retail oil filter. The Red a tad on the higher side of equivalent filter pricing.
@@SlikLizrd No offense taken. 😂
I'd rather have the One. Cleaner oil is better oil.
👍
Purolator Red 👍
Silicone ADBV
IMHO Filter media seemed more dense
Filter media more consistent spacing
Slight edge to the Red price difference for overall oil change cost is negligeble
Nice comparison 👍
Thanks, drum!
The tech is for fleet and oil change shops, nothing different but the ADBV, and using either one is a 3,000-mile change interval
Now I've found it. These are the same as the Mighty M4612 Engine Guard and T4612 (T stands for tech), except I believe both Mighty filters use a rubber drain back valve (based on watching videos of cut up filters). Mighty says 95 percent at 20 microns, just as the woman told you, so which is correct is hard to tell, but the difference is not significant in my opinion. They put the M version on my car the last oil change at a garage along with full synthetic oil, I believe, Mighty brand oil 0W20 (which seems to be made by Phillips). They did not tell me the brand on the invoice, but I am assuming Mighty brand since they used a Mighty filter. It is interesting how much people are influenced by a brand name. The jury is still out on what I will do next oil change. As I've said before, every weekend I do research on oil and filters, so I'm ready by my next oil change. I know so much more than when I started researching. An ex-Nissan engineer along with many who have formally studied oil say buy cheap oil (of the correct type and viscosity) and a cheap filter and change the oil often, every 3,000 miles. The change interval, they say, is more important than the brand. However, I will be influenced by how my car sounds and runs (which I recognize is subjective). Thanks for this video. I should add that getting the oil and filters from a garage, they charge me $2.00 more per quart and at least a dollar extra for the filter, so I'm not getting these cheap. But I can't change my own oil. I have a CVT, so I plan on being hyper-vigilant about oil and transmission fluid changes.
You're Welcome!
I agree, changing the oil and filter often with cheaper oil and filter is probably better than trying to run a more expensive oil and filter for a 10 to 20K interval. JMHO
As a retired engine person who uses Amsoil products in my own equipment… I totally agree with your engineer friend. The cheapest oil and filter that meets manufacturer specs is going to be fine and get long service life if changed often. That being said, I am just a fanatic. I always told my customers that a quart of oil IS the cheapest mechanic you will ever pay, so use the best oil available. LOL
I used a White purolator filter on my 04 4runner which sits upside down on top of the engine. My engine ticked on cold start up. I took it off and there was no oil in the filter. I replaced the new purolator with the old motorcraft filter that I still had and the next morning, no ticking. I took off the filter the next morning and there was oil inside that wouldn't pour out. I called purolator and got no cooperation from the rep who wanted me to send their filter back at my cost for testing and IF they found it defective, they would issue me a refund for the cost of the filter only, not the postage. Never bought another purolator product again and never will. The couple of days my engine ticked on a cold start with the P filter was the only time my engine ticked and I owned that truck for 19 years and 230K miles.
I wonder if you had a bad nitrile anti-drain back valve?
Sorry to hear you had a bad experience with them. But I dont think you'll find too many companies that will be willing to do too much for a complaint similar to yours. (just saying).
The Motorcraft filter probably has a silicone anti-drain back valve which is what you want when your filter is mounted like yours.
Thanks for Sharing!👍
Humm slight differences, looks like the same filtering media Fram uses. Same specs as well at 20 microns.
I think the "Tech" filter is Purolator's cheapo filter for car repair shops to purchase for oil changes.
Hi Gary,
I think you are right.
All things considered, imo it's better than most jobber filters I've seen used at quick lubes and independent shops.
@@faxmen09 I agree. I'd have no qualms about running this filter for 5000 miles.
@@Gary7even Same here.
What seems weird is in the oil filter as well as in the engine, there's oil by-pass valves. Engines have oil pressures above the by-pass valve relief, which sounds like the valve would be open all the time when its running, which would help if pressures were too high. But if pressures are too low (say 10psi on a worn out engine), the by-pass valve won't open, the oil pump would have to work harder to push oil through the filter, which it can't (because the engine is worn out), and that would be a quick end to a worn out, but still able to run engine. Sorry for the long comment. 😁
I like to think of it this way, even if you have 40 psi of pressure in the system. If the oil can flow through the oil filter freely without back pressure going over the pressure of the bypass valve then it should not open.
Just as an fyi, the bypass valve in the filter is known as the oil filter bypass. The "bypass" in the oil pump is known as the oil pump "relief' valve.
They are the same filter, just one got a fancy red paint job & a Silicone ADV & the other is just a white filter with a Nitro ADV .....,guess the red one does a better job on filtering out your wallet more 😁
Nitro ?
lol
@@GT-mn3bx I'd go with a turbocharged anti-drainback valve over nitro.
FYI these filters will not fit the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross because the end plate is convex, and it needs to be concave (also Car Quest are the same). The Mobil 1 M1-110A, WIX 57356, Super Tech 7317 and the Fram UG/TG/PH7317 will fit.
Not doubting you, but that is interesting. So, you're saying the topic filter is the correct application listed for said MEC but it won't screw on, sealing gasket to block, because the base/tapping plate is "convex"? That is odd, weird even. Would seem if plate that "convex" it wouldn't seal on other vehicles too. Fwiw, 14610 screw on and seal fine on Honda and Nissan.
Dang thats a good deal for that tech filter. I prefer the silicon ADV but for this price I'm ok with rubber. I change my oil every 4,000 so I should be ok with the rubber one. Plus my OEM filter has a rubber ADV.
For a 4k mi. change interval should be just fine. Price is right for sure. And since your OEM uses nitrile anyway, perfect.
They have gone up, from when I made the video. I would check them out every now and then, and the price may go back down.
@@WhipCityWrencher "They have gone up,". I guess so, $7.53 currently, hard pass now. $2.40 excellent price for the Tech. It's all your fault Whip. Amazon price algorithm likely takes views into consideration for price, this vid no doubt significantly increased views and purchases. Your fault. J/K 😂

Compare the og Protec vs the new Protec oil filters
I didn't know the came out with a New Protec oil filter?
If I can get those tech filters for 2 bucks I'm buying them.
WCW, of all the filters you reviewed, overall what are the top 3 ? Are we wasting are $$ spending extra on K&N, Royal Purple, etc. or is it a situation where Wix or Fram may have a great filter for a Honda 3.5 motor, but a terrible one for a Chrysler 3.8 ?
These are my top 3, 1. Purolator Boss, 2. Fram Endurance, 3. Tie (Amsoil and Royal Purple whichever of the two you can get cheaper.)
@@WhipCityWrencher thanks !!!!!
I wonder why Purolator went away from the elongated inlet holes. Do you think that’s a Mann & Hummel design. Thanks for another good one.
Not all Purolator made have used oblong holes. The relatively larger ones did/do, but the smaller ones like topic 14610, and the 14612, 14476 14477 always have used round inlet holes. Still use oblong in the larger filters.
Thanks Clyde.
faxmen09 is right on the larger filter's. I use a larger filter and it has the elongated inlet holes. Have a great weekend!
@@WhipCityWrencher Thanks Whip. 👍
Whip, remember those tractor filters that used arse wipe? What a waste 😏, now ya gotta wipe with cobs or the phone book. Yellow pages are softer than Yellowstone. Sorry I apologize for the puns. Ya do a great service for folks how to spend their $$$. Oddly calling customer service ya get different answers. At least ya got a hold of a real person on the phone🤷♂️
Nice of you to apologize for those puns -- it was necessary. 😁
I wonder why Purolator come out with the tech filter? I never seen or heard of it before. When I seen this, I thought they really cheapened . I used to buy those red ones at advanced auto. Now have to get them at tractor supply. Thanks! Hope you have a great weekend.
They have three (4) models:
White = Cheap-o.
Red = Mid-grade.
Blue = Better.
Black = Best.
Made in U.S.A. = An Oil Filter for everybody.
@@SlikLizrd Nice!
Tech is a "jobber" filter intended for sale and use in commercial shops. Likely why you have never seen or heard of them. Also why they only get a nitrile adbv.
@@faxmen09 Thanks
@@faxmen09 YEP. A "jobber" filter -- the "TECH" handle implies that it is "high-tech", which it ain't.
Surprised at the price difference. Not much noticeable in the two filters other than the silicone drain back. Otherwise I would say comparable to napa filters difference being ones for synthetics and ones not.
That is marketing. All filters filter all oil.
Can you use Synthetic oil with these filters
Yes, IMO you can use synthetic oil with all automotive oil filters.
I think there is a lot of counterfeit stuff on Amazon
Great video, I have always trusted Purolator, turns out that it is a good filter.
What benefit if any is there with a silicone anti drain back gasket vs a nitro rubber?
I wonder how hot does the oil get and, how plyable will a nitro rubber gasket get compared to a silicone gasket?
When does that plyability matter, and is it worth the difference in cost?
If your filter sits stud mount up, the ADBV isn't even needed. That said, I've seen Nitrile go 10-12K(not on my vehicles) and be fine. Silicone is better long term, but for me, micron rating is what I care about.
Thank You!
GT pretty much answered your question.
I'll just add if I have a vehicle where the filter mounts horizontally I'll use a filter with a silicone anti-drain back valve. 95% of the time it probably won't matter but I did have a problem once on my daughter's car that had a nitrile rubber anti-drain back valve. It started making a start-up noise after a while. Her filters mounts horizontally.
@@WhipCityWrencher If you own a recent Subaru, the filter mounts dome end up so the anti-drainback valve is especially important. For me, a silicone ADBV is better in that situation.
If one reads bitog regularly, it's accepted that even in base/thread end up orientation, an adbv helps keep oil in the oil galleries above the filter. Nitrile should be good for most standard, (not extended 6k+mi.) intervals. Many quick lubes and shops use nitrile..
@@faxmen09 How does a piece of rubber do anything for that when engine is off and not pumping?Allison transmissions spin on filters have none. Stud up mount.
You really can't compare prices from Amazon vs a storefront. You can usually find the same items for a.lot less on Amazon.
That might be true but I don't know of a storefront that sells the TECH oil filter. Just making a comparison.
Izzat Micron Rating a result of the ISO 4548-12 spec // Where did they get those numbers??

L14610 that you quoted at $6.99 = $19.00 at Amazon.
Tl14610 that you quoted at $2.40 = $13.10 at eBay.

L14610 at my local Menards store $4.99.
PL14610 $7.49.
PBL14610 $11.99.
Amazon usually not the best place to buy filters.
@@christophermeyer6414 I also found that Menards sells Purolator filters at good prices and picked up a Purolator One for $1 less than Amazon. Amazon is weird - sometimes, their price is much less than local stores or other online options and sometimes they are much higher. As Chuck said, it pays to shop around. With prices and inventory online, there is less of a chance to make an unnecessary stop.
I would like to see if that orange anti drain back valve really is silicone... as I suspect it's actually tinted nitrile. Can you perform the burn test on both of them to see for sure? 😉
(I edited this to ask rather than direct so I don't sound like a prick)
It would cost more to even TRY to "tint" black Nitrile rubber than it does to make the Silicone ADBV in the 1st place.
No offense, but it seems like you "suspect" too much. 😁
I'm pretty sure it's silicone.
@@SlikLizrd You are probably right Chuck. Alot of people have told me the same thing, and I trust none of them... Until i see it, feel it, smell it, and sometimes taste it for myself i will always question it...
Curious your reasoning for "suspecting" the orange adbv is not silicone. Fwiw, I believe you are incorrect in your suspicion. I'm 99+% sure it would burn test as silicone.
@@WhipCityWrencher " I'm pretty sure it's silicone." 👍
Good Morning, Whip !! Interesting review today -- Looks like the RED one is the better choice -- these days, the Nitrile ADBV is no bueno, senor !!
White one good for 3,000-mile OCI.
Red one good for 5,000-mile OCI.
"TECH" name is misleading -- implies better quality.
Redeeming factor = Made in U.S.A.
TBF, if the filter is stud up it doesn't matter at all. And I've seen Nitrile be fine at 10-12K( not my vehicles).
I never go past 6-7 K on anything. And that is with filtermags.
Why can't this be Russia, so there aren't so many damn choices 😅
LOL
These oil filters cross with the HONDA # 15400-RTA-003, the BOSCH PREMIUM # 3323, and the FRAM ULTRA # XG7317.
I would pass on the Purolators shown here -- in favor of any of the 3 filters mentioned above.
They gave you two (2) different Micron Ratings for the same filter number ??
I would not trust those answers. Something's fishy, 'cause the Silicone ADBV doesn't justify the price difference.
HHMMMMMMMMMM -- First call to Purolator says: "95% @ 20 Microns".
Second call to Purolator says: "96% Holding Power" -- which has no technical meaning -- just marketing propaganda. The oil filter is passive. It has NO "power".
The nearest we can get to the truth is: "95% @ 20 Microns" -- but no ISO test # is given.
That's real decent for a cheap oil filter -- and a good deal for those with vertically-hung oil filters, which need NO ADBV. For these particular filters:
Nitrile Rubber ADBV -- OCI = 3,000 miles.
Silicone ADBV - OCI = 5,000 miles. 😁
Hi Chuck,
Here's a link to their website, scroll down and they have a ISO 4548-12 www.purolatornow.com/en/products/oil-filters/purolator.html
@@WhipCityWrencher Yo, Whip !!
Thanks for the link -- I went there, and found the ISO -- "BOSS" = ISO 4548-12 @ 25 Microns.
That's impressive, but there ain't no way that I would run an oil filter for 20,000 miles.
@@SlikLizrd Me neither. 👍
Ok you asked what I think. Video is way too long. Just say, Yeah they are the same. Summarize your findings around 2 minutes, tips. Thanks for the comparison which was helpful.
Thanks, I try to make them as short as I can and still be informative and entertaining.
