I just wanted to share my most recent experience with purolator .

First off, I love the comercials and I switch from a fram to a purolator on my tahoe. I'll never use a purolator again. I would get 40psi at idle and 50-55psi at highwats speeds since I bought it.
With the purolator I could only muster up 30-35 at idle and 45 on the highway. I also noticed a very distinct vibration in my gas pedal. I though I was going nutz and the vibration was in my head so I sent my brother to the store and he said the same thing. After a week and a half i decided to pull it and change back to a fram and psi went back to normal. My brother and I couldnt feel the vibration anymore.

Now I didnt use a pureOne - didnt know there was an option, but still the baseline fram worked better for me.
