oil filters exposed

I'm no expert everything in this video is just my opinion. I cut open three oil filters. Napa Gold (WIX), Pennzoil and Mobil 1.

i would like to see the center filter vs fram and K&N

[workensmart]

@chamblizi K&N is the same thing as the mobil one. The K&N just has a thicker case. Fram is shit anyway there are lots of videos of fram filters getting cut open on you tube.

@workensmart Mobil 1 and K&N are NOT the same filters. Mobil 1 filters are made by Champion, while K&N are made by Hiflofiltro. The two filters are constructed differently, with the K&N (auto) geared more toward high flow (20microns) while the Mobil 1 is geared toward deeper cleaning (10microns). So they are different...with the Mobil 1 being the superior filter. I think you might be thinking of Bosch oil filters when you said K&N, since Bosch are also made by Champion.

@UKSportsFan there is a site called mini mopar and the guy cut open a K&N and a mobil 1. On his site he stated both were made by champion labs.

Pureone oil filters are less than 6 bucks and better than all of those. Try them out my friend.

[workensmart]

@JayzBeerz I have used them in the past I would have cut one of them open as well but I didn't have one installed in any of my cars at the time. Bt yeah they also make good products.

You want a good size gap between the filter and the can for FLOW! that pennzoil filter with the small gap like that would be more restrictive to flow,gap is a good thing.

Also one cannot say "best" just on looks people!!,,yes build quality is important but to say best you need to know filtering ability's/efficiency's,beta ratios,and flow characteristics.

these videos are a joke mostly,lots of BAD/wrong info.

pretty stiff as it flexes on the penzoil filter hahahaha

[ctopolinski36]

Yes the gap in between the filter can and the filter media is a good thing, it won't restrict flow. I would take the Mobil 1 for my extended drain intervals as I like that it has the potential to catch 10 micron sized particles and has the ability to do 8 to 10,000 miles without a problem since it's rated for 15,000 miles.. Currently going to test drive the Napa Platinum it is also priced the same as the Mobil 1 E.P. Filter.

Can't beat a Wix Filter

@HiTechOilCo & sadly that make most filters inadequate which why I seldom replace them, only the oil or polish it.

[HiTechOilCo]

@Begbucks - 98.7% at 20 microns is *excellent*. Very few oil filters can filter that well.

[Begbucks]

@HiTechOilCo Poor filtration.

[HiTechOilCo]

@Begbucks - How do you mean?

[Begbucks]

@HiTechOilCo I'll check it out. 20 Microns is a huge gap however.

[HiTechOilCo]

@Begbucks - The Mobil 1 website should have that information. The better AMSOIL Absolute Efficiency oil filters provide a filtering efficiency in accordance with industry standard ISO 4548-12 of 98.7 percent at 20 microns, while competitive filters demonstrate efficiencies as low as 51 percent.
