Just because you're a minor doesn't mean I can't take out a hit on you. Heck, there's probably a half a dozen people in here that would chip in for it.
Nah, I'm my own person, I don't need to fit into any group. 
You are just a little sore because DF people don't talk to ya that way.

How do you know you are using a Purolator batch, and not some other?
Thats my point. You don't know for sure. If its the actual brand name, you can know for 99.9% certainty. If its a brand that changes its manufacturer every so often, you don't know for sure.
Mobil 1 filters are a little over-priced, and K&Ns are the same thing. Napa Gold and WIX filters are excellent filters for the $6 that I pay for them. But regular Napa filters are also good filters (For the price). For $2 I get a Napa ProSelect that has metal end caps, a good paper filter media, and a sturdy can.
Purolators are also great filters. The $3 Classic/Premium Plus and the $6 Pure ONE filters are some of the best as filtering, but restrict a little on flow. Thats why I use the NAPA. Fram makes ****ty filters. You can get a much better filter for the money. That said, there are trucks on the road that have over 300,000 miles running Rotella and a Fram. But you get less for your money with a Fram.
How do you know they are still Purolator? How do you know they didn't change again?

FRAMs have also been know to cause major issues. Do they do it every time, or anywhere near? Of course not. But why risk it? Its a handful of bills more for a better filter.
Been using Mobil Delvac 1 in my 318 for almost 2 years now. Heavy duty diesel engine synthetic. It works just fine. I'm actually an Amsoil guy but been getting the Delvac 1 at a good price at work.
Take a hit... That cast must slow you down.
