Mobil 1 Oil Filter

Was wondering if anyone has done a comparo test on a Mobil 1 Oil Filter to a Fram, AC Delco, Wix, Etc. I just want to make sure I'm using a good oil filter.

filters

I like you worried about the low quality of the filters available. I went with K & N as that is what they do, make filters.

WIX is about as good as you can get, and all you need for street use.

Some filter out smaller particles, but in exchange for more restriction.

Go with WIX/NAPA GOLD (Made by WIX) - WIX makes great filters!

Wix/Napa Gold filters are actually the same as the race filters Wix makes for many race series'. They are about the best you can get. All NASCAR builders use them.

I have a Mobil1. Nothing wrong with the Mobil1 filters. I just wouldn't use Mobil1 oil. LOL

I've been using NAPA Gold/ WIX lately ... but will be switching to the Purolator PureONE. It's rated 99.9% efficient at 20 microns ... and it flows very well, here's the proof:
