I sent an e-mail to Pure Oil (Purolator) asking if this still 
allowed proper sealing of the internal gasket and was assured that either 
would work. Your mileage may vary.

Padgett,
My mileage SUCKED when I used the Purolater "U" type seal fitted filter... 
ended up with a slight leak, tightened the bolt down a little, and the metal 
"lip" ended up going THROUGH the seal. I was only 1,500 miles on that filter... 
changed the oil and filter and went to a WIX filter... NO MORE LEAKS.
I actually bought the car with that filter on it, and didn't realize the 
change until I took it off... no more Purolater filters (OR Hastings, which appear 
the same way) for my Corvairs... I'll either use the WIX or my PF4s I have...
Later,
Lonzo
