Bought a Purolator filter today but it has L14610 instead of the PL14610. Same filter or do I have to find one with the PL before the numbers??

return it and get the correct one... it'll save you from possible problems later

The pl is for the pureone and the l is for the plain pureolaters if I'm not mistaken
^ I believe that is correct.

Yeah, the PL is pureone. You should be safe to use it.

As stated, the PL is the PureOne version, and the L is the Purolator Classic. Depends on how long you are going to run the filter if I'd leave it on. My biggest thought would be the anti-drainback valve on the Classic is nitrile, which can get hard and not retain oil as well as the PureOne's ADBV, which is silicone.
If you're curious, there's a post from BobIsTheOilGuy about the differences -- Purolator classic VS pure one.
If it were me, I'd run the filter, since I'd only be using it for at most a year. YMMV.

Personally, even though its probably not a big deal I would return it. Ive always ran PureOnes on my bikes and car (and my family members cars when I change their oil). It would bug me knowing it wasnt a PureOne. But thats just me lol probably isnt actually worth the trouble of returning it.

Thanks guys, a lot of good info. Just for absolute peace of mind and the fact that the bikes not due for a oil change, I will look for a Pureone.
