Focking Purolator Bean-Counters!

[HammerDown]

Been a Purolator user for decades...until now...SOB's took the usual #L10028 (used on my Corvette) and shortened it to a short-stubby filter #L15313
So, being pissed, I call a Purolator rep, of course he's trying to tell me "it's shorter but improved!" I tell him "bullshit, you made it smaller because (and like my suppler told me) it now fits a lot more applications, but now I as a consumer I'm paying the SAME or MORE money for a lot less filtering-capacity". He chuckled and pretty much agreed with my comment.

So, on to another filter manufacture for my Vette, cause like I told the rep that tried to BS me..."you just lost a loyal customer of decades"...Focking bean-counters!

UPDATE...visited Advance Auto...Purolator L34631 'appears' to be the same hole-size, thread pitch, rubber gasket diameter and can-height as the old L10028.
Of course the useless Purolator rep could tell me nothing
I'll purchase and before filling with oil I'll do a 'dry-fit'.

Famous last words- "New and Improved". Yeah, right. In the late 70's Bower-BCA tried that with throwout bearings for medium duty trucks. Dropped the bearing from using 12 balls to 6. They lasted about a week in city traffic before they started howling. They spent a good sized load of cash replacing them under warranty too. Saved them a lot. We were getting paid by them to not only replace their half wit bearings, but they were also buying new clutches because they were eating the fingers on the pressure plates.
