This filter is easily one of the best made filters out there. $9.99 is a steal it provides waay better filtration at a much longer timeframe than any other filter near its priceless. There is only 2 other filter I’ve found that are comparable one is Royal purple the other is EA by Amsoil. Both are a decent amount more $. All 3 filters are extremely similar in construction and appearance. This one is themes best option. It will filter your oil better at 5k miles than a $5 filter will brand new. Even if you run almost all highway and do not have a turbo engine I still would not go past 10k miles per change. I have turbos and I go 4-5k miles per change. I use PP, PP ultra( when it goes for $25 on Amazon) and Castrol edge extended( also Castrol edge euro which is great oil) pp ultra is some awesome oil as is Castrol. I use to use M1 EP and annual but it is not as good as the ones previously mentioned. Castrol and PP are the 2 best off the shelf oils IMO.

It’s always tough to know how good an oil filter is. Yes, I’ve run several vehicles well over 200,000 miles using these. Does that prove anything? Or is it the type of miles I drive or the oil I use? At least Mobil doesn’t use toilet paper as the filter element. Hmmm, well, I don’t think they do.

I really like Mobile 1 filters because they are synthetic. They’re not paper on the inside. They might cost a little bit more but to me they’re totally worth it. Never had any issues with any of my engines.
