Manlius, New York, US
In 1949, Purolator also developed a new Wing-Nut Type Micronic Filter that allowed motorists or mechanics to check the filter element as quickly and easily as checking oil. This design required no tools to unscrew the wing nut on top and lift off the cover. The P-40 filter inside came out with the cover so it could be checked for muck. These filters were in the P-400-W series and all used the same filter element. They were recommended for Chrysler Corp. cars and trucks. Purolator did a good job of promoting the Wing-Nut Top as a "money maker." A 1949 trade ad claimed that the new P-40 Purolator Micronic Refill had "5 times the filtering area of old-style filters" and "removed 290% more sludge." Savvy mechanics knew that the P-40 trapped more sludge and was easily removable by whipping out the dirty filter each time a customer drove in. "This muck in an oil filter can mean money in your pocket!" said the ad's headline in bold type. "Show it to your customers for more Purolator sales."
