Puralator v Mahle? autozone freebie

[Perfectlap]

I picked up some Castrol Syntec 5w-40 at my local Autozone. They're running a 5 quarts sale for $27 and a Bosch oil filter. This deal is usually $25 but so goes crude oil prices. They almost never have Boxster oil filters but the clerk said he had the Puralator for the the 986. I compared it against the spare Mahle and noticed the Puralator was made in Germany. The size was more or less the same on the outside but the inner dimensions were quite different.
Anyhoo it's two free oil filters that normally sell for $13 eachaccording to the clerk.
should I give them a shot?
