have used them with excellent results 90k on my 2003 jetta 1.8T only castrol 5W-40 syntec and mobile 1 filters. my engine is as clean as new on the inside. they filter down to 5 micron or so. also if you look inside of the mobile 1 filter it will have a valve or check ball like the factory uses.
My Honda guy says to use Mobil 1, OEM filter and change every 5k.
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.
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.
Ditto on Amsoil, I go 8k between changes and use a Mobil 1 filter.
