What is inside a - Mobil 1 M1-301 Oil Filter

An autopsy of a Mobil 1 M1-301 oil filter.
NOTICE:
I seriously botched the math on the filter dimensions! The measurements are as follows: 1.625 x 3.8125 = 6.1953125 x 52 = 322.15625

@ColtDeltaElite10mm Wish i read your comments before i bought one. I just tried the Fram toughguard filter for the first time because they had a sale and it clogged up at 2,900 miles creating low oil pressure randomly at idle. Got that crap out of my car immediatly and no suprise no more low oil pressure.

I was looking at oil filters the other day and I noticed the K&N filters look nearly identical to the Mobil1 filters, other than the welded nut that the K&N filters have. They're pretty much the same price so either one would be a good choice IMO.

@kemorc okay. thanks.

@rush4ever1 purolator classic will be more than suffice if you are only doing 3000 miles.

You guys need to do a google search about oil filter tests. Sime guys took one year on a car to test both oil and filters. Fram failed in as little as 2K miles. Shockingly, K&N filters failed way before the Mobil-1 filters did! The filter media on the Mobil-1 out lasted everybody. No the test was not done by Mobil oil company either. Search it. Way to long to type about the results here. Looks are deceiving people!
