Dear Valued Customer,
We are sending this bulletin to advise you of a product issue involving a limited number of the
above-mentioned Purolator cartridge oil filters.
Product Concern:
A limited quantity of Mexico manufactured cartridge oil filters with part number L36296 and
TL36296 and filter date code 08/28/25 through 12/23/25 (which corresponds to August 28,
2025, through December 23, 2025) may be difficult to install. To ensure customer satisfaction,
we are recommending the aforementioned Mexico produced products no longer be sold. Filters
that have already been successfully installed will function properly and are excluded from this fit
concern. Purolator supplied L36296 and TL36296 filters manufactured in other locations are
also excluded from this fit concern.
