mobil 1 M1-601 oil filter

[lincolnlocker]

anyone try this filter? ive always ran the fl1995 but got a pretty good deal on some mobil 1 filters.. i think its micron rating is half that of the motorcraft. so is it good or bad?

 

[Dmstrucks02]

As long as it doesn't restrict flow it should be good/better huh?

 

[lincolnlocker]

i don't know what it flows to be exact but got them for $7.64 a piece... didn't know if anyone has had any problems with them... some filters like to explode or not seal or just crack, stuff like that is what im really concerned with..

I haven't seen or heard of any issues with the Mobil 1 filter. I am just not very fond of the STP and Fram variations offered for our engines.

FWIW I always run the FL1995.

So do I, the $3 savings isn't enough for me to switch

That is how I see it too. Usually the Motorcraft is the cheapest as well at $9.99. The Mobil 1 filter is usually $15+ if I remember correctly.

I use those exclusively! Where did you guys hear the mc filter is.better? I started running those filters about 8 or 9 years ago when they became readily available. My eclipse always got mobil 1 syn and a matching filter. I researched filttlers a long time ago and just never have "restudied" the ratings. The mobil 1 literature used to state that its ratings were superior to what conventional reports claim because they tested their filters to.different, tighter specs. I remember them saying that the tests favored older, sloppier filtration testing. This was back about 03 or so but I remember the gist.

If you dont.want.those filters, Id use them.

amazon..... $7.64 a piece after shipping.... got 12 of them. from what i found the 1995 is 20mic and these are 10mic. also supposed to have higher burst rate of the mc and is the same filter as the K&N one available.
2 of these boxes showed up yesterday.

I've always ran Wix filters, but everything i've heard/read about Mobil 1 is that there products are top notch. I may just have to order me 1 or 6.

$6 shipped as long as you order $25 worth which is what i tried when i found them... only had 3 in stock, like it says still, so it didn't qualify for free shipping. you can bundle them together with other items that qualify for free shipping but i didn't see anything else i was interested at this time.... these where at the bottom and said $6.50 a piece in a case of 6 plus shipping so i ordered 2 cases and brought the shipping down.. so it worked out to 7.64 a piece shipped..

Wheres it say that? I see it says "3 new from $6", but thats not referring to their stock. I'm gonna try to buy 5 when i get home, thats a hell of a deal if the filters are good.

 

[lincolnlocker]

oh, i guess that could be but what i said is what it told me last time so i didnt order them.. just did the 2 cases of 6...

Good filter....

 

[Dmstrucks02]

I've never looked hard at other filters, always just used mc on the truck and mobile 1 on the car and jeep

 

[lincolnlocker]

so evidently they have more in stock on the amazon site... i went through all the stuff i did last time and put 6 of the $6 filters in my cart and went to checkout... last time it told me only 3 available this time it automatically checked me out and is sending me 6 more filters... didnt know i had the one click buying option checked.. evidently i do. so 6 more are on the way..

[lincolnlocker]

have 15 gallon of premium blue sitting here too.. got that while on sale at oriellys last year for 11 or 12 bucks a gallon... when its on sale i use that, if not then i go back to delo.. but just learned not to long ago that TSC sells it for 14$ a gallon everyday.. so i will see what my new/rebuilt motor likes the best and run it.. then hopefully by next summer ill have the motor in my 01 built/rebuilt so ill be going through the oil and filters...
