Owner reviews for oil filter

I have been using fram filters for years with no problems, synthetic oil changed @5000miles or sometimes a bit more. no leaking or any of that other nonsense. Here goes the good old vortex hype again. Use what you want and if it works then stay with it.

Mobil 1 M1-301 Like the Champion, this filter is made by Champion Industries. However, it uses a unique end plate and a thicker can that make it the strongest filter available for wide-distribution retail sale. It also does not use the fragile paper media of the Champion filter. I’m happy to say that this filter is NOT a fake. It is definitely a unique design. It uses a synthetic fiber element that can filter out very small particles and is much stronger than the fragile, Champion paper media. It is rated just under the Purolator Pure One as far as filtering capability, but is still very much above conventional paper filters. It also has a very strong construction to withstand high-pressure spikes during start-up. Given the choice between the Purolator Pure One and the Mobil 1 filters, I would choose the Mobil 1 because of the restriction concerns of the Pure One and that pesky assembly string. However, as with all Mobil 1 products, expect to pay 2 - 3 times as much for this filter.

Using Amsoil 10-40 and an Amsoil filter, Blackstone said the oil looked clean and ready to keep going at 5.5k miles. Changed the filter and added a quart to replace what was lost to the test and filter change, and kept running it. They were still happy with the results that came at 10k miles. This test was on a a 93 octane APR 1.8T that's run hard constantly.

Been using the 205 filter for 30K. I drive it pretty hard, so far so good.

ive been using the mobil 1 filter, my car is redlined frequently, and has seen the track on numerous occasions, ive had no problems.

I have one on my car and it works very well.

I used to use Bosch before I went synthetic, now I use Amsoil with a Mobil 1 filter, 10k between changes.

The VW filter from the dealer was beefy. I like it.

I used the bosch filter anway because I had already purchased it. It has a release valve, Fram doesn't. Anyway the Bosch o-ring was thicker and softer than the Fram's. Hmm, I bet that's why it was leaking.

I switched to the dealer filter and I will never go back to a Fram. Before my oil pressure when warmed up would not go above 2bar now it does what it is supposed to.
