The website includes detailed dimensions, drawings and performance charts demonstrating the improvements for each part number included in the new program.

The new Group 7 by Purolator website includes a fast and efficient Search function that provides, at a glance, listings for all Group 7 filters for any application. Upon selection of make, model and year, the Search function brings up all applicable filters on a single page for easy viewing. Included are oil, air, fuel, PCV and breather filters for the engine, cabin air filter for the cockpit, and transmission filters. In each instance, the part number is listed, with a link to details on each filter, providing particulars such as filter dimensions, thread pitch and size for spin-on oil filters, and particulars on oil filter relief valves and anti-drain back valves.

A News page on the site provides particulars on recent announcements as well as details on advertising and publicity that relate to Group 7 filtration products.

A special area of the website is devoted to helping automotive professionals who may be asked by customers if their oil and filter change will support their new-car warranty. The website explains, in great detail, that Group 7 filters comply with all applicable requirements, and that the vehicle’s new-car warranty will continue to be in effect as long as the oil and filter, and other routine maintenance items, are changed according to the vehicle manufacturer’s specified intervals.

Also available to everyone – service professionals and do-it-yourselfers – are the Purolator PROs (Purolator Response Office), a team of experts who will answer any filter-related question, free of charge, via personal e-mail within 48 hours. Purolator PROs can be contacted through the Purolator website at www.purolatorautofilters.net or via the Group 7 hotline – 1-800-526-4250.

“We understand that in the automotive repair business, time is money,” said Chuck Kerrigan, director of marketing for Purolator. “That’s why we made this new Group 7 website so comprehensive and easy to use. When a customer’s car is in the shop, the technician needs part numbers and application data right now. Our new website provides that information, and our technical support team is just a phone call away for our repair shop customers who have an immediate need for additional help. It’s all part of our partnership with our customers.”

Ignition System Do’s and Don’ts

Why do ignition systems give technicians problems when diagnosing ignition-related misfires? The answer is that some technicians use tests that might give inconclusive results or do damage to the coil or drivers inside a module.

One of the most basic circuits found on every gasoline powered vehicle is the ignition coil. This transformer takes low-voltage, high-amperage current and changes it into high-voltage current. It has two windings that are not physically connected. What does connect them is magnetism. The primary creates an electromagnetic field when system voltage is applied. When the power is turned off, the magnetic field collapses. The energy from the primary is transformed by the secondary windings into high-voltage power that can jump the gap between the electrodes of the spark plug; this is called inductance.
