I think it'd be nice to test some oem filters like the Toyota or Motorcraft. That and the Autozone filters since those are the most common where I'm from
Up in the league with Project Farm with this level of comparison testing with better visuals. (I also recommend testing OEM oil filters, I know that Honda for example such as the A02 and 15400-RTA-003 have felt/cardboard end caps with no wire backing. I just checked the Toyota N1 spin on filter as well and it’s fairly rudimentary in it’s construction, at least in appearance)
🤣🤣Glad the timing worked out. We've tested many other filters, but we're waiting on lab results. There are a couple of Easter eggs in the video showing others we are testing. 🧐 Thank you so much for your support.
👋 Thanks for watching and the suggestion, we will include several OEMs on a future video and at the end of the series, we will see which filter is the best. Thank you for your support!
@BrandRanks It would be good to mention the actual manufacturer of the oem filters being tested and test the manufacturer's matching filters along with the oem. A lot of people don't know that oem's don't build filters but they do spec them. The manufacturer filter doesn't always match the oem filter exactly.
@@BrandRanks Thanks, but you better thest the oil filters which are having the steel particles in the thread from the factory thread-cutting , because the factoryes did Not properly clean the threads !!! I have tested the Mann, Mecca, Wix, Filtron, Fram, and some other , But they Alll had the metal particles in the thread, which Are Directly sucked into the engine and into the bearings, thus Damaging the engine !!! ! !!! The Only Two filter factoryes , which did Not have those steel particles in the thread, were old Mahle filters (because some new ones are from China) , and Bosch filters . Now, please, do some more testing, 2 Disclosure this Deception of the Bad factoryes , which most of the mechanics are still Not aware of it. Thank you.
The final test results show how many particles from various micro thicknesses were found in the oil samples from each filter after they tried to filter them out and the boss came out on top, also the cold flow test napa was best and the boss second, in the hot flow wix was top but boss and napa were close behind. I myself used the old wix XP before new owners for years lots of oil changes and am now switching to the boss because made in US and has good all around characteristics.my greatest concern is oil flow in cold and hot and filtering the fine metal crap in my engine, also switching to Pennzoil ultra synthetic platinum for best cold and warm flow and almost same as amsoil but the high cost
Wow... This is awesome! Thank you so much. You have no idea how much it means to us. Your support is greatly appreciated! Thank you thank you thank you! We will definitely continue with the testing.
Many people don't realize that Purolator, Wix, and many house brands (ie. Napa, Carquest) are all owned and manufactured by Mann-Hummel. So it makes sense that those 3 were very close to each other in most of the tests.The Purple filter was the only really different one.
Is Mann-Hummel the German company that I heard bought Wix fairly recently? Probably is, because before the buy-out, Wix made oil filters for NAPA and several others parts store house brands........plus this new video proves they have the same identical components inside the filters. If this is the case, it's good to see Mann-Hummel is keeping up the quality of Wix filters. By the way: before the buy out, I had an Amsoil rep tell me over the phone that their own Amsoil brand oil filters were also made by Wix. Amsoil had only Wix and their Amsoil branded filters available to purchase on their website, and people are paying a little extra money for the Amsoil branded filter, which is identical to the Wix filter, lol. At least the Amsoil rep was being honest about answering my question.
I recently noticed that the Mobil 1 filter I bought recently looks identical to the Purolator "Boss" that I had on hand from last year. The old Mobil 1 does not look the same. All 3 filters in the size that fits Baby hemi in Jeeps.
It's almost unbelievable how good this video is for the sub count. I've always wondered what makes a "premium" filter more expensive and I'm really impressed that the Purolator was able to filter out the most particles while still being the least restrictive. That's a big win in my book.
Thank you so much for the kind words! Yes the Purolator was impressive, still tops the chart even after two more videos. Make sure to go check them out.
Awesome updates to the rig and procedure. Really appreciate getting to actual filter performance - in particular particle size filtration efficiency. Would love to see Amsoil, Napa Gold (or WIX equivalent), AC Delco Ultragaurd Gold, Purolator One next. Plus would be nice to see a repeat of Fram Ultra Synthetic, Mobil 1 and K&N. I’m sure this testing already takes a lot of effort but repeatability would be interesting (both for skid and between different filters of the same brand). Keep up the great work. You guys will be huge.
Thank you so much for the kind words. Really appreciate you writing this. We are going to be releasing several videos with several filters so make sure you have that notifications turned on so you don't miss them!
Really great video. I like the amount of effort you guys put in to ensure the testing was as accurate as it could be with the equipment you have. The subtle humor was a great addition too. Keep up the great content. I've been using Wix XP for years.
Thank you so much Jim! Really appreciate you words and support. A lot of effort went into this and it means a lot to hear you enjoyed. WIX XP did pretty well. As long as you keep up with maintenance, all these filters are great.
I work a retirement job in an auto parts store and often recommend "Project Farm" and "Car Care Nut" (for Toyota people like me). Now I have added this channel.
@@heartysteer8752 I really like the standardized particulate. It means they are able to repeat the same test without worrying about differences in used oil.
I think getting oil to the engine is key so flow rate is super important, and getting that oil cleaned comes in second for my priority list. Some oil is better than no oil.
Agree, some flow is better than none, that's why most filters have that bypass valve so your engine won't starve. Again, thanks for watching appreciate your comments.
I switched to the mobil 1 filter in your last video and would like to see that one tested on the new rig. Thank you for the quality videos. You guys deserve more subscribers!
@abraham3981 no they are not even close to the same. Mobil One oil filter is synthetic blend while Purolator Boss is fully synthetic. Mobil One is rated for 30 microns and Purolator is rated for 20 microns. Smaller is better. That being said I personally have been using the Mobil One oil filter for 20 years or more now. It is a great filter, but not the absolute best.
Great video! Never thought the Purolator would win since I've always found it to be a reasonable cost for my Acuras. I'm surprised you didn't include the Mobil 1 since it won the last competition though. Either way, great job on the video!
Thank you so much for your kind words. As you saw, we made a lot of changes to the testing procedure to ensure it is repeatable. We will be testing the Mobil one and other in future videos and at the end we will see, which one wins!
This is very useful -- I like how much effort is placed into the testing methodology! Please keep testing a wide variety of filters from many manufacturers with this new rig -- like Mann, Hengst, Denso, K&N, Fram, Amsoil, etc. Thanks for all your hard work!
This is exactly how oil filter tests should be. There are hundreds of sites that just cut the filter open and say look it doesn't look good so it must be a bad filter. You guys actually put science behind your tests.
Thank you so much @vg3430. Lab tests are underway for several OEMs. Thank you for the suggestion and the support. As a small channel, it really means a lot to us!
Because of your tests, I now run the Purolator Boss in the winter and the Amsoil in the summer. I was running the Amsoil all year before along with their signature series oil, but trading off a little filtering capacity for better flow in the winter just makes sense.
Thank you so much for watching! Appreciate you support immensely. Hopefully one day we will grow and we can dedicate ourselves to this to bring you even more content. Comments like yours motivate us and encourage us to keep going so appreciate it! Hope you a have great day.
Based on your previous oil filter test, I'd like to see where the Mobil 1 would rank among these filters. I've been using either the Mobil 1, Wix XP, or Purolator Boss. Consider doing an oil test too. Great job!
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed. Agree, like you saw we changed quite a bit, so for fairness, we will be retesting the mobil 1 and many other filters so we can have a final tally of the best oil filter. make sure to subscribe so you don't miss it. Thank you again, for the support.
Man I always forget I'm subscribed to this channel, but happy every time a video comes out. Very proud to be considered a day 1. Yall deserve every bit of a million or more subs in the future. Good looks.
Hey Ozzie! So glad to see this comment. Appreciate your support from the beginning. Glad to have you with us on our journey! Hope you have a wonderful day!
Maybe as a future filter test you could test the results of the STP Extended Life S45008XL and the PPE 114000650 for those of us running the 2.7L Turbo-4 and 3.0L Duramax? They're both replacements for the wimpy AC Delco PF66 filter. The STP goes for about $10, is rated to filter 15 microns and has a built-in bypass valve. The PPE filter is rated for filtering 10 microns, has a built-in bypass valve with a magnet and is physically larger offering more oil capacity. But it goes for $27-$30 depending on where you buy it from. I have the PPE filter and am giving it a try for my next oil change. But if it doesn't work out I'm looking at the STP as another offering to try. :)
Love the testing guys. I’m subbed. Can’t wait to see what the Orange can does and please put it against the standard Wix. Also the OEMs like Honda/Toyota/Ford
Thank you so much @Nono-rh4lr. Glad you enjoyed and subbed! Thanks for the suggestion. Definitely planning on testing the regular WIX and several OEMs.
Excellent filter tests! Thank You! I've only owned old toyotas & hondas with high mileage but I've ran Wix XP for the last 5yrs, and they seem to run very well with those high mileage cars. I still change the oil every 5k mi. regardless. Keep up the incredible job! We appreciate all Your efforts!
This testing was definitely more thorough and scientific! Now we will need to compare the results of this video to the filters used in the other video to have a real scoreboard going. Nevertheless this was a great video and I look forward to more in the future!
Thank you so much for the kind words. Appreciate your support immensely. Given we changed several things in the rig and the testing method, we will be testing some of the ones from the first video as well as many other filters in future videos. Again, thanks for your support
Sure, more scientific; however, I'd still like to see the used oil test kept. Real oil with real particulates, not lab dust. Used oil is not going to have the same characteristics as new oil. And the metal particulates are going to have differing shapes and profiles than lab ground and graded dust.
@@heartysteer8752 what you're saying sounds good. But if the filters fail using industry standard dust (that is designed to mimic the charactistics of typical particles) Then I don't see how using "real world" examples would show anything more conclusive than what has already been shown. Due to the fact that actual engine particulates break off at different rates (and shapes as you said), there's no way to duplicate the same test using the same amount of "real world" debris. The laboratory dust allows tests to be more consistent between filters. Otherwise the results could be skewed based on what kind of particulates were used for a particular test. I think these results are more useful than the random results that can be generated by "real world" examples. 😁
@@heartysteer8752 It's funny - some people just don't realize how ridiculously stupid they are - the "lab dust" is literally made to model differing shapes and profiles, that's the entire point of the "lab dust". Also, if your engine has big enough particulates where the shape actually matters then *you have far bigger problems* then your next oil change. cdn.standards.iteh.ai/samples/63386/9a1bcaa0d6df4330b7b4dd7af9cbda75/ISO-12103-1-2016.pdf
Glad you found us again! Appreciate the support and the kind words. It's hard doing YT and full time jobs, hopefully one, day we can dedicate full time to this and you can see more consistent uploads. Thanks again.
@@BrandRanks more power to you guys!!! I am very impressed with how professional you guys do this. With the amount of effort you put into this. You’ll be full time UA-camrs in no time!! Keep it up!!
Hey Michael, yes we will be testing the mobile one fram and KN along with Many others. We will be doing a video series. Next video will be FRAM. Thank you for the support.
@@heartysteer8752 The "lab dust" is a far better test, there is a good reason he stopped using the used motor oil - the ISO standardized dust is controlled and the contaminant size follows a set standard (which you can look up), there is no physically possible way to create a whole bunch of the exact same used motor oil to be compared back and forth - this is because the contaminants in used motor oil are going to vary on driving conditions, oil temperature, settling, additives, engine state, intake air quality, etc. Using ISO standardized dust eliminates those concerns and gives you a far more useful baseline to compare against, you just can't have any control with used motor - this leads to bad data. TL;DR - Relying on used motor oil to monitor contaminants and filtration capacity is like relying on your finger instead of a thermometer to tell what the temperature is outside.
THIS is how you do an oil filter test! So many people think cutting open a filter and looking at the number of pleats is a measure of quality but you guys do actual, valuable tests. Thank you!
Thank you so much for your support! Yes, this will be a video series and we are currently testing many oil filters and at the end we will be able to compare them all.
Thank you so much, it really menas a lot to us to read this. Both of us put a lot of work into this to make the best content we can. Thank you for the support!
It is said frequently that engine wear is due to particle sizes less than 20 microns, as they are small enough to fit into engine clearances (this is easily searchable online). These are the hardest particles to filter out. If you could point this out and maybe test for these smaller particles then your videos would be even more helpful in the future. Personally I have been running Fram Ultra filters as they have tested well in independent tests, and their stated efficiency (filtering ability) is the best I can find at 99% at 20 microns. But Fram has recently changed the construction of the Ultra filter and I do not know if it is as good now as it was before. There is a new Fram Endurance that states is for an even longer OCI of 25,000 miles, but I have seen no independent testing of this model. Recently I have been buying Champ XL filters from RockAuto as they are cheap and manage to have the same high efficiency ratings of 99% at 20 microns, they seem like a bargain. If you guys could test these filters, and any others that you find with good efficiency ratings it would be very helpful. Testing filters whose companies state up front that that they are not the best in filtration (with stated lower efficiency ratings) and quality is not helpful when we are trying to figure out who is the best. Thank you for all the work you have done to improve your testing and I eagerly look forward to your videos in the future.
Hey Morris! Thank you so much for the kind words. We left a couple of easter eggs throughout the video of oil filters that we are currently testing and at the end of the video you can see a sneak peek of the Fram endurance. Next video will be an all out test on the FRAM filters so we can compare to these. I personally run the FRAM Ultra and have had no problems so I get where you are coming from. Thank you for all the support. Hopefully these videos do well so we can continue to make more videos.
You can also check out diesel fuel filters like for semi trucks or aftermarket pumps like AirDog and Fass. Donaldson P551315 is 5micron at 98%. Wix 33528 is 2 micron at unknow %.@@BrandRanks
Dude, where has this channel been all my life? I love drinking moderately while geeking out on things well beyond the point of being practically applicable to my life. This channel checks all those boxes quite well for me. easily one of my top 5 favorites now. Wix XP? ITS FOR ME!
@BrandRanks - I would love to see a re-test of the Purolator Boss. It's numbers are so good, that many folks on other sites like Bob the Oil Guy have questioned the results. It seems like a re-test of the top 6 filters would make a great new video...kinda like an Oil Filter Playoffs 🙂
That's a great idea. We still have many videos in out backlog for other products, but maybe one day we come back to oil filters. Thank you so much for the suggestion and your support!
Wow, using ISO standards and everything. This is amazing, I'm glad I found this channel. As an engineer I am pleasantly surprised 😂 and look forward to watching your content! You guys are gonna go far.
@@BrandRanks Still sifting through your videos but if you haven't done it yet maybe test Mahle filters! Currently using that and wanna see how well it does (I hope very 🤣) May need to alter your apparatus to take filters without housings but I believe it's a popular choice among BMW (and Supra) drivers!
One thing I consider with my filters is the check valve strength. I use an oil accumulator in my system and I need it to not leak back when pre-oiling the engine. My cheap OEM filters performs WAY better than much more expensive ones.
OEM comparison would be great to see compared to the top rated oil filter(s) tested so far. AC Delco, Mopar, Motocraft, etc. other than that, these videos are great. New subscriber earned!
Great video. You know what would be cool. A low budget shootout. Like if I want to spend $5-$7 on a filter not $13-$17 what would I buy. Your testing would be super helpful. Maybe Wix standard, PL standard, maybe OEM like Honda or Ford Etc. Just a thought. Thanks for the hard work.
Great video again! Thank you. The filter performance of the OG Purolator (pure oil later) is amazing, as is the royal purple, but Purolator wins the other tests too.
You guys are absolutely incredible! Can't tell you how long I've been waiting to see an in-depth accurate oil filter test. Way to master it! And blow production out of the park! Please keep up the great work! I would be down for testing OEM filters to see how they compare. Specifically seeing how a Tokyo roki Subaru filter performs.
Thank you so much for the kind words! It really means a lot to us to read this, it keeps us motivated. Its a lot of work especially when you are a small channel without funds, so it's really rewarding that people appreciate it. Thank you again!
Thanks for stepping up your testing. I have been an AMSOIL dealer for 44 years. I like the fact that Amsoil shares test data. Understand your use of the different oils for cold and hot flow rates. I have no idea of the oil flow rate of IC engines, little 3 cylinder to big block V8. You may want to find that data to bracket your flow testing. Would like to see a Amsoil filter tested. Thanks for helping me to continue to learn at the ripe old age of 79. ron
This is awesome! Been looking for information like this for years. Subbed and shared. It'd be nice to see a common Motorcraft filter like an FL-400s or an FL-910s. I pretty much run Motorcraft filters on just about anything I can get them to fit on even my lawn mower.
So glad you enjoyed and thank you so much for supporting and sharing, it really helps us a lot. We are definitely planning on testing Motorcraft, hopefully these videos do well, so we can fund the tests. Again, thank you!
Wow!!! One of the first donations we have received. Thank you so much @fredboy007 you have no idea how much this means. Appreciate your support immensely. Glad you enjoyed. Currently working on the next video. Thank you so much!
I would like to see an oil filter test with race filters (Moroso Racing, Wix Racing, Fram Racing, Ford Racing AND the Wix XP as the “standard” filter for comparison.
Great job guys. Thanks for all of your efforts. You've earned my subscription. I look forward to seeing more tests. Maybe Napa Gold vs regular Wix vs similar competitors.
Truth is, there are many vehicles out on the road that don't get their filters and oil changed regularly / use generic brands and as such and they have hundreds of thousands of miles on their engines. Enjoyed the video.
Ya'll addressed all my concerns about your initial testing procedure. I feel like this time, ya'll are actually providing information that can help in picking the best option for an oil filter. It' doesn't look like you can go wrong with the Purolator Boss or either of the top end Fram's. They kinda fall in line based on their cost. I've been using the Fram Ultra for years, and you guys confirmed that it's a really good filter for the money.
Terrific testing. I use the Motorcraft FL910S oil filter which is the OEM equivalent to the 4 filters you just tested with your 2.0 test rig. It would be wonderful if you could include the Motorcraft FL910S oil filter in your next test as it would build upon the work you just did. Plus it is what people would naturally look for as a comparison. Thanks!
Thank you so much! Yes currently planning on testing the motorcraft. Hopefully this video does well so we can fund it. As a small channel, we have a very tight (non existent) budget🤣 Thank you for your support!
Great effort guys! Much more scientific than previous one. This series is gonna blow up. It already is. When you run out of oil filters to test (yeah right), get into testing diesel fuel filters. Anyways, can you please include a different length version of the same filter? Sometimes you can install a bigger filter than what car manufacturer tells you. I'll give you an example: XG3614 and XG3600
It's a fringe case most likely, but another thing to keep in mind is that not all bypass valves are created equal. I know the Mopar filters for the Viper specifically have a higher pressure bypass to keep clean oil flowing longer.
I've been waiting for a REAL oil fiter testing channel forever. Great Job, Guys. Liked & Sub'd (...and THANK YOU for not wasting time giving the can dimensions, BECAUSE NOBODY CARES 😂).
Bro you got a new sub and like from me man.... I've been doing a lot of research into gettting the best oil and filter for my brand new Wrangler. I want this thing to last and the the internet has been telling oil changes are paramount. You are doing great things take care my brother
Thank you so much. Nice setup. you are almost simulating a real oil filtration inside the engine. I would like to see the comparison between Fram Ultra synthetic, Mobil 1, and Purolator Boss using the Rig 2.0. You deserve more subscribers.
Very nice! Subscribed for future content. Would love to see MANN, Denso, Beck Arnley (typically some sort of OE), Mahle, Hastings…. I’ll think of another dozen as soon as I hit send. Going to watch the first video now to see how SuperTech did!
Hey! Thank you so much for watching and supporting. We will be doing several more videos with this new rig! Including several OEMs (as long as they are comparable)
Wix also makes Orillys house brand Microguard filters, same filters but about 30% less expensive. Microguard Select are Wix XP. We have used Microguard for years on a fleet of 14 trucks plus personal and employee vehicles. The cold fluid restriction shows why you still need to regularly change engine oil and not go 15k or 20k miles, it can cause the bypass valve to open sending unfiltered oil though the engine so you want good clean oil. Even more with some people who think heavier oil is better, recommends 5-30 but they use 20-40, causing excessive drag hurting power and gas mileage. Plus possibly overloading the oil bypass valve causing high oil pressure at higher rpms when not warmed up.
I was thrilled when I saw this pop up on my recommendation. I see a lot of people wanting the Amsoil filter, but it’s literally the same as the royal purple. I cannot wait for the Amsoil fan boys to find out that their filter is restrictive. 🤣 Great video, can’t wait for the next
Thank you so much for watching! Actually...we collaborated with some experts over at BITOG to ensure consistency on the tests, but we are always open to constructive criticism to improve. It's actually what made us make huge improvements from the last episode. Thank you for the support!
Ive been looking for a oil filter brand to mate with my Pennzoil Ultra Platinum oil. Project farm sold me on the oil. You sold me on the Purolator Boss. Just order a couple for my next changes on my vehicles.
I always check project farm before i buy anything! I too switched to pennzoil after his videos. I used to run wix, but theu are no longer american made, so im switching to purolator
As an aircraft mechanic and someone who has worked with engineers at an OEM for aircraft parts this felt right at home! Id love to see you test an aircraft oil filter that i use for our crssnas and pipers, tempest 48111, i typically remove the filter material to inspect for metal particals. Great channel and looking forward to more trsts!
Does an aero engine usually have both a coarse full flow filter system and a fine (highly efficient at removing micro particles but has a low flow capacity) filter bypass system?
@@davidpowell3347 nope, adds complexity. Piston engined aircraft (the older ones) were about KISS. Keep it simple stupid, it adds to the reliability. The oil filter is just a paper filter with no bypass. The filters are changed every 50 or 100 flight hours and required to be inspected for metal material, if a certain amount of metal material is noticed in the filter it's time for a full engine overhaul. I usually only find a couple specs of metal and some lead deposits. Really early aircraft engines didn't even have an oil filter.
Solid testing, presenting, writing and filming. You guys will do well! I’d love to see a fuel filter test, too. I’m constantly told that the 200 series fuel filter should only use genuine filters as the denso filter is also made by the same manufacturer who does the injectors. Told to avoid aftermarket filters as they’re not as good. I’ll only use genuine filters. So, I’d love to see ‘genuine’ filters in this mix, too.
Thank you so much, your kind words mean a lot to us especially after all the effort we put into it. That's a great video suggestion. We will look into it, unfortunately our pump does not handle flammable liquids so we would need to buy another one, so hopefully these videos do well so we can afford it, unfortunately as a small channel our budget is tight, but with support like yours, I'm sure we'll get there.
@@BrandRanks Just buy a cheap fuel pump and stick a regulator on it. I don't think flow rate is all that important when it comes to fuel delivery on a stock setup. It's the filtration that's important. But, no doubt you'll get there! Lets hope for another 15k subs off this video! :)
@@wheeman999 Not that its a bad idea but I don't think people buy fuel filters enough to care. I'd go as far as to say the average person will never buy a fuel filter. I deliver auto parts and its very rare I deliver a fuel filter.
I do industrial hydraulics, for us 15 micron is the testing particle size which has a limit of 20 counts. We use 5 micron filters to do a flushing loop to clean the oil and will let it run until the fluid has had a minimum of 50 passes through the filter.
This is great! I have a mint condition Honda Accord coupe with v6 - manual at 250K miles and I want to make it to half a million - sounds like its gonna get there with your help and purolator boss filter every 4k. Thanks
Thank you so much for your support. I know it was a long time and we are sorry, but working on weekends alone for UA-cam is a slow and painfully process. Hopefully one day, we will be able to dedicate all our time to YT. In the meantime have to keep the 9-5🫣
I am a Mechanical Engineer so I absolutely love your methodology. But I do feel like there is a trade off between flow rate and capacity/performance. What I mean is that I think that a more restrictive flow rate filter media will usually by nature give a higher capacity and a better performance. So considering that if, IF, you consider all four tests have an equal weight you can then add the results together, and the Boss comes out on top with a score of 7. You are obviously more experienced with testing than I am, so please don't hesitate to respond to my 2 cents worth.....LOL I also appreciate the tear down and review of all the filters and I agree that it is also an important factor.
Awesome a fellow Mechanical engineer! Yeah there is normally that trade off, but in our FRAM video we found that filter material is also very important, cellulose tends to be very reatrictive and you can get a better filtering performance and better flow with synthetic media. Thanks for watching and supporting our channel! And yes the Boss would come on top actually after all the videos we've done so far they still are on the top even with a 50 percent weight on filtering performance.
Thanks for the response!! Very interesting. I didn't even think about weighting the different results differently, but that is a great point. And it was just my 2 cents worth that I weighted them the same. That sounds like pretty conclusive data. Can I assume that ranking is also compared to your other video with four other filters tested the same way? I know this is a totally different test, but is there good way to test motor oil? Again, I so greatly appreciate your testing methodology. There are so many auto part consumable products tests on here that make little sense, but your makes total sense and was a great and interesting watch! I will be watching more of your videos, Thank-you!!! Sheepish grin...LOL.....Today I changed the oil filter on my 2006 Honda CR-V and installed a Boss based on some other (decent) reviews I watched before yours validated my decision.
I got it... your tests are much better than anyone else I've seen so far. Can you also compared the Mobil 1 vs the Purolator oil filter? Can you also test oils (the highest and equal grade of each brad)? I've seen the Project Farm tests but it's not a "well controlled test" as yours is, and he did not compared apples-to-apples (he used different grades across the oils used, although they were all 5W30). this is a certified hood classic
@@BrandRanks How or where can I find your mobil 1 video review? In your channel I only see seven videos and none of them is for the oil as of today. this is a certified hood classic
What oil filter do you use on your vehicle? Let us know in the comments down below and we may test it in a future video😉
I think it'd be nice to test some oem filters like the Toyota or Motorcraft. That and the Autozone filters since those are the most common where I'm from
You should test the k&n hp oil filter specifically. They are marketed as a better filter than the last k&n you tested.
AMSOIL
Mann, Bosch, Mahle or Knecht.
The best affordable is my moto. I've used purolator boss for 10 years. I'm amazed at 6 k miles how clean oil is. Nissan rogue
Up in the league with Project Farm with this level of comparison testing with better visuals. (I also recommend testing OEM oil filters, I know that Honda for example such as the A02 and 15400-RTA-003 have felt/cardboard end caps with no wire backing. I just checked the Toyota N1 spin on filter as well and it’s fairly rudimentary in it’s construction, at least in appearance)

@@BrandRanks Thanks, but you better thest the oil filters which are having the steel particles in the thread from the factory thread-cutting , because the factoryes did Not properly clean the threads !!! I have tested the Mann, Mecca, Wix, Filtron, Fram, and some other , But they Alll had the metal particles in the thread, which Are Directly sucked into the engine and into the bearings, thus Damaging the engine !!! ! !!! The Only Two filter factoryes , which did Not have those steel particles in the thread, were old Mahle filters (because some new ones are from China) , and Bosch filters . Now, please, do some more testing, 2 Disclosure this Deception of the Bad factoryes , which most of the mechanics are still Not aware of it. Thank you.
From a guy who buys fleet vehicles and only wants the best parts 👍Thank you
✌️😎
Thank you so much for your support!
The purolator boss has good flow characteristics and exceptional filtering efficiencies. This is my favorite of the bunch.
@@carloswald5584 No, it has larger dirt capacity but lower filtering fineness and efficiency
The final test results show how many particles from various micro thicknesses were found in the oil samples from each filter after they tried to filter them out and the boss came out on top, also the cold flow test napa was best and the boss second, in the hot flow wix was top but boss and napa were close behind.
I myself used the old wix XP before new owners for years lots of oil changes and am now switching to the boss because made in US and has good all around characteristics.my greatest concern is oil flow in cold and hot and filtering the fine metal crap in my engine, also switching to Pennzoil ultra synthetic platinum for best cold and warm flow and almost same as amsoil but the high cost
Synthetic media as well. The wix XP no longer has synthetic media so idk what other filters other a synthetic media
I've been an oil and filter nerd for 25 years. Keep it up and more videos coming!
Wow... This is awesome! Thank you so much. You have no idea how much it means to us. Your support is greatly appreciated! Thank you thank you thank you! We will definitely continue with the testing.
Many people don't realize that Purolator, Wix, and many house brands (ie. Napa, Carquest) are all owned and manufactured by Mann-Hummel. So it makes sense that those 3 were very close to each other in most of the tests.The Purple filter was the only really different one.
Thank you for the info and for watching!
The royal purple ones are made by the same guys that make the Mobil1 filters, top notch stuff!
Wix was it's own company until recently
Is Mann-Hummel the German company that I heard bought Wix fairly recently? Probably is, because before the buy-out, Wix made oil filters for NAPA and several others parts store house brands........plus this new video proves they have the same identical components inside the filters. If this is the case, it's good to see Mann-Hummel is keeping up the quality of Wix filters. By the way: before the buy out, I had an Amsoil rep tell me over the phone that their own Amsoil brand oil filters were also made by Wix. Amsoil had only Wix and their Amsoil branded filters available to purchase on their website, and people are paying a little extra money for the Amsoil branded filter, which is identical to the Wix filter, lol. At least the Amsoil rep was being honest about answering my question.
I recently noticed that the Mobil 1 filter I bought recently looks identical to the Purolator "Boss" that I had on hand from last year. The old Mobil 1 does not look the same.
All 3 filters in the size that fits Baby hemi in Jeeps.
It's almost unbelievable how good this video is for the sub count. I've always wondered what makes a "premium" filter more expensive and I'm really impressed that the Purolator was able to filter out the most particles while still being the least restrictive. That's a big win in my book.
Thank you so much for the kind words! Yes the Purolator was impressive, still tops the chart even after two more videos. Make sure to go check them out.
Awesome updates to the rig and procedure. Really appreciate getting to actual filter performance - in particular particle size filtration efficiency.
Would love to see Amsoil, Napa Gold (or WIX equivalent), AC Delco Ultragaurd Gold, Purolator One next. Plus would be nice to see a repeat of Fram Ultra Synthetic, Mobil 1 and K&N.
I’m sure this testing already takes a lot of effort but repeatability would be interesting (both for skid and between different filters of the same brand).
Keep up the great work. You guys will be huge.
Thank you so much for the kind words. Really appreciate you writing this. We are going to be releasing several videos with several filters so make sure you have that notifications turned on so you don't miss them!
Really great video. I like the amount of effort you guys put in to ensure the testing was as accurate as it could be with the equipment you have. The subtle humor was a great addition too. Keep up the great content. I've been using Wix XP for years.
Thank you so much Jim! Really appreciate you words and support. A lot of effort went into this and it means a lot to hear you enjoyed. WIX XP did pretty well. As long as you keep up with maintenance, all these filters are great.
I work a retirement job in an auto parts store and often recommend "Project Farm" and "Car Care Nut" (for Toyota people like me). Now I have added this channel.
You guys deserve many more subscribers. Your testing rig and methodology is impressive! 👍🏻🖖🏻
Thanks you so much for your kind words! Comments like yours keep us motivated. Thank you for supporting our channel.
Really upped the game this time. Though would still like to see the used oil test again. Real oil with real particulates.
Too goofy
@@heartysteer8752 I really like the standardized particulate. It means they are able to repeat the same test without worrying about differences in used oil.
Why? This entire channel is a rip off of Project Farm. Nothing original
I think getting oil to the engine is key so flow rate is super important, and getting that oil cleaned comes in second for my priority list. Some oil is better than no oil.
Agree, some flow is better than none, that's why most filters have that bypass valve so your engine won't starve. Again, thanks for watching appreciate your comments.
I switched to the mobil 1 filter in your last video and would like to see that one tested on the new rig. Thank you for the quality videos. You guys deserve more subscribers!
i think the Mobil 1 and the Purolator One are basically the same filter.
I've always used mobile 1, been getting 500k miles out of my CJ-7 engines
@abraham3981 no they are not even close to the same. Mobil One oil filter is synthetic blend while Purolator Boss is fully synthetic. Mobil One is rated for 30 microns and Purolator is rated for 20 microns. Smaller is better.
That being said I personally have been using the Mobil One oil filter for 20 years or more now. It is a great filter, but not the absolute best.
@LeadStarDude I was comparing the Mobil one to the Purator ONE not the Boss.
@@independentthinker8930
258? 👍🏾🇺🇸
Great video! Never thought the Purolator would win since I've always found it to be a reasonable cost for my Acuras. I'm surprised you didn't include the Mobil 1 since it won the last competition though. Either way, great job on the video!
Thank you so much for your kind words. As you saw, we made a lot of changes to the testing procedure to ensure it is repeatable. We will be testing the Mobil one and other in future videos and at the end we will see, which one wins!
This is very useful -- I like how much effort is placed into the testing methodology!
Please keep testing a wide variety of filters from many manufacturers with this new rig -- like Mann, Hengst, Denso, K&N, Fram, Amsoil, etc.
Thanks for all your hard work!
Thank you so much for the kind words. Really appreciate it. It means a lot to hear than the work is appreciated.
This is exactly how oil filter tests should be. There are hundreds of sites that just cut the filter open and say look it doesn't look good so it must be a bad filter. You guys actually put science behind your tests.
Thank you so much for your kind words. Really appreciate the support.
Great video guys! Would love to see a comparison of OEM filters such as Motorcraft, AC Delco, Toyota, etc compared to the top performing name brands.
Thank you so much @vg3430. Lab tests are underway for several OEMs. Thank you for the suggestion and the support. As a small channel, it really means a lot to us!
Yeah id love to see the AC Delco one specifically, ive always heard good things so thats what ive always used.
Because of your tests, I now run the Purolator Boss in the winter and the Amsoil in the summer. I was running the Amsoil all year before along with their signature series oil, but trading off a little filtering capacity for better flow in the winter just makes sense.
It's almost criminal that a channel doing testing with this level of rigor has only 20k subscribers (at the time of this comment). Just added my own.
Thank you so much for watching! Appreciate you support immensely. Hopefully one day we will grow and we can dedicate ourselves to this to bring you even more content. Comments like yours motivate us and encourage us to keep going so appreciate it! Hope you a have great day.
Based on your previous oil filter test, I'd like to see where the Mobil 1 would rank among these filters. I've been using either the Mobil 1, Wix XP, or Purolator Boss. Consider doing an oil test too. Great job!
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed. Agree, like you saw we changed quite a bit, so for fairness, we will be retesting the mobil 1 and many other filters so we can have a final tally of the best oil filter. make sure to subscribe so you don't miss it. Thank you again, for the support.
Mobile 1 and Bosch.
the sense of humor and good info from these vids is too awesome, thanks!
Thank you so much for your support and watching. So glad you enjoyed!
Man I always forget I'm subscribed to this channel, but happy every time a video comes out. Very proud to be considered a day 1. Yall deserve every bit of a million or more subs in the future. Good looks.
Hey Ozzie! So glad to see this comment. Appreciate your support from the beginning. Glad to have you with us on our journey! Hope you have a wonderful day!
Maybe as a future filter test you could test the results of the STP Extended Life S45008XL and the PPE 114000650 for those of us running the 2.7L Turbo-4 and 3.0L Duramax? They're both replacements for the wimpy AC Delco PF66 filter. The STP goes for about $10, is rated to filter 15 microns and has a built-in bypass valve. The PPE filter is rated for filtering 10 microns, has a built-in bypass valve with a magnet and is physically larger offering more oil capacity. But it goes for $27-$30 depending on where you buy it from. I have the PPE filter and am giving it a try for my next oil change. But if it doesn't work out I'm looking at the STP as another offering to try. :)
Love the testing guys. I’m subbed. Can’t wait to see what the Orange can does and please put it against the standard Wix. Also the OEMs like Honda/Toyota/Ford
Thank you so much @Nono-rh4lr. Glad you enjoyed and subbed! Thanks for the suggestion. Definitely planning on testing the regular WIX and several OEMs.
Excellent filter tests! Thank You! I've only owned old toyotas & hondas with high mileage but I've ran Wix XP for the last 5yrs, and they seem to run very well with those high mileage cars. I still change the oil every 5k mi. regardless. Keep up the incredible job! We appreciate all Your efforts!
Thank you so much for your kind words! Really appreciate the support, it keeps us motivated!
Awesome work. I use purolator Boss and Wix. You all confirmed my purchases. And also to never buy Fram or ROYAL Purple. Keep up the great work.
Thank you so much Matt! Your support is much appreciated and glad to be of help.
This testing was definitely more thorough and scientific!
Now we will need to compare the results of this video to the filters used in the other video to have a real scoreboard going.
Nevertheless this was a great video and I look forward to more in the future!
Thank you so much for the kind words. Appreciate your support immensely. Given we changed several things in the rig and the testing method, we will be testing some of the ones from the first video as well as many other filters in future videos. Again, thanks for your support
Sure, more scientific; however, I'd still like to see the used oil test kept. Real oil with real particulates, not lab dust. Used oil is not going to have the same characteristics as new oil. And the metal particulates are going to have differing shapes and profiles than lab ground and graded dust.
@@heartysteer8752 what you're saying sounds good.
But if the filters fail using industry standard dust (that is designed to mimic the charactistics of typical particles)
Then I don't see how using "real world" examples would show anything more conclusive than what has already been shown.
Due to the fact that actual engine particulates break off at different rates (and shapes as you said), there's no way to duplicate the same test using the same amount of "real world" debris.
The laboratory dust allows tests to be more consistent between filters.
Otherwise the results could be skewed based on what kind of particulates were used for a particular test.
I think these results are more useful than the random results that can be generated by "real world" examples. 😁
@@heartysteer8752 It's funny - some people just don't realize how ridiculously stupid they are - the "lab dust" is literally made to model differing shapes and profiles, that's the entire point of the "lab dust". Also, if your engine has big enough particulates where the shape actually matters then *you have far bigger problems* then your next oil change.

I just tried my first AMSOIL filter along with AMSOIL signature series 5w20. Sounds very good combo.
I forgot all about you guys but super happy you popped back up. What a show y’all. Good job.
Glad you found us again! Appreciate the support and the kind words. It's hard doing YT and full time jobs, hopefully one, day we can dedicate full time to this and you can see more consistent uploads. Thanks again.
@@BrandRanks more power to you guys!!! I am very impressed with how professional you guys do this. With the amount of effort you put into this. You’ll be full time UA-camrs in no time!! Keep it up!!
Thank you for the encouragement and support!
Awesome video! Would love to see the filters from the first video re-tested with the new rig!
Hey Michael, yes we will be testing the mobile one fram and KN along with Many others. We will be doing a video series. Next video will be FRAM. Thank you for the support.
And would like to see the used oil test again. Real oil with real particulates. Not lab dust.
@@heartysteer8752 The "lab dust" is a far better test, there is a good reason he stopped using the used motor oil - the ISO standardized dust is controlled and the contaminant size follows a set standard (which you can look up), there is no physically possible way to create a whole bunch of the exact same used motor oil to be compared back and forth - this is because the contaminants in used motor oil are going to vary on driving conditions, oil temperature, settling, additives, engine state, intake air quality, etc. Using ISO standardized dust eliminates those concerns and gives you a far more useful baseline to compare against, you just can't have any control with used motor - this leads to bad data.
TL;DR - Relying on used motor oil to monitor contaminants and filtration capacity is like relying on your finger instead of a thermometer to tell what the temperature is outside.
THIS is how you do an oil filter test! So many people think cutting open a filter and looking at the number of pleats is a measure of quality but you guys do actual, valuable tests. Thank you!
Thank you for the support and for watching!
I been waiting for this video for so long! Very informative. Please add Amsoil to the list.
Amsoil is most definitely on our list for this series. Thanks for watching!
Thanks!
Thank you so much! Your support means a lot to us!! 🙏
Great video. I would have like to see the tests completed with several of each filter brand, just to remove any production discrepancies.
Amazing work! You all really stepped it up with the rig 2.0! 👏
Wow Ivy! Thank you so so so much. Like you have no idea how much we appreciate it. So glad you enjoyed!
Do an updated one with Frame, Mobile 1 and K&N! Best video on the Internet. Informative and not annoying. Thanks
Thank you so much for your support! Yes, this will be a video series and we are currently testing many oil filters and at the end we will be able to compare them all.
@@BrandRanks Cool, you guys will be up there with project farm in no time!
Thank you so much for the encouragement and support!
I have been using wix filters for 8 years now. I used to use fram until I watched a video comparison, your video proves the point of the previous one.
Thanks for watching, we will be testing FRAM filters soon.
Please consider adding Baldwin oil filters to your future testing. Many fleets run Baldwin. From what I've seen, they are constucted very well.
Thanks for the suggestion! Planning on testing it soon. Appreciate your support!
Have used Baldwin for years for personal and race car
Nope junk
For such a small channel it really has top end production. Camera work, sound etc. all perfect.
Thank you so much, it really menas a lot to us to read this. Both of us put a lot of work into this to make the best content we can. Thank you for the support!
It is said frequently that engine wear is due to particle sizes less than 20 microns, as they are small enough to fit into engine clearances (this is easily searchable online). These are the hardest particles to filter out. If you could point this out and maybe test for these smaller particles then your videos would be even more helpful in the future.
Personally I have been running Fram Ultra filters as they have tested well in independent tests, and their stated efficiency (filtering ability) is the best I can find at 99% at 20 microns. But Fram has recently changed the construction of the Ultra filter and I do not know if it is as good now as it was before.
There is a new Fram Endurance that states is for an even longer OCI of 25,000 miles, but I have seen no independent testing of this model.
Recently I have been buying Champ XL filters from RockAuto as they are cheap and manage to have the same high efficiency ratings of 99% at 20 microns, they seem like a bargain.
If you guys could test these filters, and any others that you find with good efficiency ratings it would be very helpful. Testing filters whose companies state up front that that they are not the best in filtration (with stated lower efficiency ratings) and quality is not helpful when we are trying to figure out who is the best. Thank you for all the work you have done to improve your testing and I eagerly look forward to your videos in the future.
Hey Morris! Thank you so much for the kind words. We left a couple of easter eggs throughout the video of oil filters that we are currently testing and at the end of the video you can see a sneak peek of the Fram endurance. Next video will be an all out test on the FRAM filters so we can compare to these. I personally run the FRAM Ultra and have had no problems so I get where you are coming from. Thank you for all the support. Hopefully these videos do well so we can continue to make more videos.
he didn't tell us where to buy that 10 micron filter
Northern tools... But not meant for engine oil only hydraulic oil, plus the thread on that is enormous.
You can also check out diesel fuel filters like for semi trucks or aftermarket pumps like AirDog and Fass. Donaldson P551315 is 5micron at 98%. Wix 33528 is 2 micron at unknow %.@@BrandRanks
Dude, where has this channel been all my life? I love drinking moderately while geeking out on things well beyond the point of being practically applicable to my life. This channel checks all those boxes quite well for me. easily one of my top 5 favorites now. Wix XP? ITS FOR ME!
So glad to read this. Made my day! Appreciate your support immensely and so glad you enjoyed. Hope you have a great day! -JP
@BrandRanks - I would love to see a re-test of the Purolator Boss. It's numbers are so good, that many folks on other sites like Bob the Oil Guy have questioned the results. It seems like a re-test of the top 6 filters would make a great new video...kinda like an Oil Filter Playoffs 🙂
That's a great idea. We still have many videos in out backlog for other products, but maybe one day we come back to oil filters. Thank you so much for the suggestion and your support!
Impressed on the Purolator boss taking so much debris
Indeed!
Wow, using ISO standards and everything. This is amazing, I'm glad I found this channel. As an engineer I am pleasantly surprised 😂 and look forward to watching your content! You guys are gonna go far.
Thank you so much! Really appreciate your kind words and glad you enjoyed!
@@BrandRanks Still sifting through your videos but if you haven't done it yet maybe test Mahle filters! Currently using that and wanna see how well it does (I hope very 🤣) May need to alter your apparatus to take filters without housings but I believe it's a popular choice among BMW (and Supra) drivers!
Nice! You were very thorough with this test.
Thank you so much! It means a lot that you enjoyed
One thing I consider with my filters is the check valve strength. I use an oil accumulator in my system and I need it to not leak back when pre-oiling the engine. My cheap OEM filters performs WAY better than much more expensive ones.
OEM comparison would be great to see compared to the top rated oil filter(s) tested so far. AC Delco, Mopar, Motocraft, etc. other than that, these videos are great. New subscriber earned!
Thank you so much. Glad that you subscribed, appreciate the support. We will be doing several OEMs!
Great video. You know what would be cool. A low budget shootout. Like if I want to spend $5-$7 on a filter not $13-$17 what would I buy. Your testing would be super helpful. Maybe Wix standard, PL standard, maybe OEM like Honda or Ford Etc. Just a thought. Thanks for the hard work.
Your engine is worth thousands why not spend the extra few dollars an oil change to protect it
Great video again! Thank you. The filter performance of the OG Purolator (pure oil later) is amazing, as is the royal purple, but Purolator wins the other tests too.
Thank you so much for watching and supporting us!
I really like the new test setup versus the old. I hope you rerun some of from the original batch so they can be better compared going forward.
Yes! We will be testing them. Thank you for your support!
Loved the black eye after using the buddy's toothbrush to clean parts! Excellent production values on the tests.
You guys are absolutely incredible! Can't tell you how long I've been waiting to see an in-depth accurate oil filter test. Way to master it! And blow production out of the park! Please keep up the great work! I would be down for testing OEM filters to see how they compare. Specifically seeing how a Tokyo roki Subaru filter performs.
Thank you so much for the kind words! It really means a lot to us to read this, it keeps us motivated. Its a lot of work especially when you are a small channel without funds, so it's really rewarding that people appreciate it. Thank you again!
See my Boss vs Tokyo Roki post. Your driving pattern may be different from mine but my UOA's showed no difference in my Subaru.
I've been using The BOSS now for many years. Your tests are pretty damn cool. Thanks for the good content
Great video, well worth the wait! Keep up these killer videos!
Thank you for the support!
Thanks for stepping up your testing. I have been an AMSOIL dealer for 44 years. I like the fact that Amsoil shares test data. Understand your use of the different oils for cold and hot flow rates. I have no idea of the oil flow rate of IC engines, little 3 cylinder to big block V8. You may want to find that data to bracket your flow testing. Would like to see a Amsoil filter tested. Thanks for helping me to continue to learn at the ripe old age of 79. ron
Would love to see the original filters retested on the new rig so we can compare. These videos are exceptionally good!
Thank you so much. We will be resetting some of them.
Just subscribed. Love when people like you test product to see whats gimmicky and whats legit
So glad you subscribed! Thank you for watching and supporting the channel.
This is awesome! Been looking for information like this for years. Subbed and shared.
It'd be nice to see a common Motorcraft filter like an FL-400s or an FL-910s. I pretty much run Motorcraft filters on just about anything I can get them to fit on even my lawn mower.
So glad you enjoyed and thank you so much for supporting and sharing, it really helps us a lot. We are definitely planning on testing Motorcraft, hopefully these videos do well, so we can fund the tests. Again, thank you!

I would like to see an oil filter test with race filters (Moroso Racing, Wix Racing, Fram Racing, Ford Racing AND the Wix XP as the “standard” filter for comparison.
Thank you so much for the suggestion, we will look into it. Appreciate the support!
Keep it up boys, this channel is going to blow up.
Thank you so much! Appreciate the support immensely!
Great job guys. Thanks for all of your efforts. You've earned my subscription. I look forward to seeing more tests. Maybe Napa Gold vs regular Wix vs similar competitors.
Thank you so much. Glad you subbed! Your support is extremely appreciated. We will definetly be testing those!
Truth is, there are many vehicles out on the road that don't get their filters and oil changed regularly / use generic brands and as such and they have hundreds of thousands of miles on their engines. Enjoyed the video.
Awesome video. Can't wait to see more testing.
Thank you so much for your support Adam.
that blurred out cleaning the t-valve got me to subscribe. Oh and the calibrated testing youre doing,,,
Hahahaha, glad someone noticed! Thank you for your support!
We need a graph of allllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll the filter you guys tested.
Once we finish the oil filter series we will. Thank you for your support.
Ya'll addressed all my concerns about your initial testing procedure. I feel like this time, ya'll are actually providing information that can help in picking the best option for an oil filter. It' doesn't look like you can go wrong with the Purolator Boss or either of the top end Fram's. They kinda fall in line based on their cost. I've been using the Fram Ultra for years, and you guys confirmed that it's a really good filter for the money.
Terrific testing. I use the Motorcraft FL910S oil filter which is the OEM equivalent to the 4 filters you just tested with your 2.0 test rig. It would be wonderful if you could include the Motorcraft FL910S oil filter in your next test as it would build upon the work you just did. Plus it is what people would naturally look for as a comparison.
Thanks!
Thank you so much! Yes currently planning on testing the motorcraft. Hopefully this video does well so we can fund it. As a small channel, we have a very tight (non existent) budget🤣 Thank you for your support!
Hahaha the testing was great but you are also funny. Well done on putting together an interesting video. The blurred out cleaning scene was hilarious.
Haha glad you noticed! Thank you for supporting us!
Can you test the difference between Purolator ONE and Purolator BOSS?
Awesome setup, most semi-scientific tests seen on YT-a-Verse and I hope you continue to test more filters.
Thank you so much for watching and supporting the channel. We really appreciate comment alike yours. It keeps us motivated!
This is one of the very few channels that I've subscribed to all notifications.
That is awesome to hear @ryshask. Glad you enjoyed. We appreciate your support immensely!
Great effort guys! Much more scientific than previous one. This series is gonna blow up. It already is. When you run out of oil filters to test (yeah right), get into testing diesel fuel filters.
Anyways, can you please include a different length version of the same filter? Sometimes you can install a bigger filter than what car manufacturer tells you. I'll give you an example:
XG3614 and XG3600
Hey, thank you so much! Appreciate your support immensely. Those are Great ideas! Thank you!
It's a fringe case most likely, but another thing to keep in mind is that not all bypass valves are created equal. I know the Mopar filters for the Viper specifically have a higher pressure bypass to keep clean oil flowing longer.
I've been waiting for a REAL oil fiter testing channel forever. Great Job, Guys. Liked & Sub'd

Bro you got a new sub and like from me man.... I've been doing a lot of research into gettting the best oil and filter for my brand new Wrangler. I want this thing to last and the the internet has been telling oil changes are paramount.
You are doing great things take care my brother
Thank you so much for the like and sub. So glad I could help and hope you enjoy your brand new Car! Take care
Thank you so much. Nice setup. you are almost simulating a real oil filtration inside the engine. I would like to see the comparison between Fram Ultra synthetic, Mobil 1, and Purolator Boss using the Rig 2.0. You deserve more subscribers.
Thank YOU for the kind words. Comments like yours keeps us motivated. Really appreciate the support!

Very nice! Subscribed for future content. Would love to see MANN, Denso, Beck Arnley (typically some sort of OE), Mahle, Hastings…. I’ll think of another dozen as soon as I hit send. Going to watch the first video now to see how SuperTech did!
Hey! Thank you so much for watching and supporting. We will be doing several more videos with this new rig! Including several OEMs (as long as they are comparable)
Wix also makes Orillys house brand Microguard filters, same filters but about 30% less expensive. Microguard Select are Wix XP. We have used Microguard for years on a fleet of 14 trucks plus personal and employee vehicles. The cold fluid restriction shows why you still need to regularly change engine oil and not go 15k or 20k miles, it can cause the bypass valve to open sending unfiltered oil though the engine so you want good clean oil. Even more with some people who think heavier oil is better, recommends 5-30 but they use 20-40, causing excessive drag hurting power and gas mileage. Plus possibly overloading the oil bypass valve causing high oil pressure at higher rpms when not warmed up.
Agree oil should not go that long without changing. Thanks for sharing and watching
I was thrilled when I saw this pop up on my recommendation. I see a lot of people wanting the Amsoil filter, but it’s literally the same as the royal purple. I cannot wait for the Amsoil fan boys to find out that their filter is restrictive. 🤣 Great video, can’t wait for the next
So glad the algorithm worked! Thank you so much for watching and supporting the channel!
Great tests man! The mouth breathers over at Bobistheoil guy would have a stroke picking apart these videos lol.
Thank you so much for watching! Actually...we collaborated with some experts over at BITOG to ensure consistency on the tests, but we are always open to constructive criticism to improve. It's actually what made us make huge improvements from the last episode. Thank you for the support!
Ive been looking for a oil filter brand to mate with my Pennzoil Ultra Platinum oil. Project farm sold me on the oil. You sold me on the Purolator Boss. Just order a couple for my next changes on my vehicles.
Awesome! Glad to hear that we were able to help. Thank you so much for the support!
I always check project farm before i buy anything! I too switched to pennzoil after his videos. I used to run wix, but theu are no longer american made, so im switching to purolator
I’m glad wix done well I’ve used a lot of them over the years. I found your first filter test much easier to understand. Thx for the tests.
As an aircraft mechanic and someone who has worked with engineers at an OEM for aircraft parts this felt right at home! Id love to see you test an aircraft oil filter that i use for our crssnas and pipers, tempest 48111, i typically remove the filter material to inspect for metal particals. Great channel and looking forward to more trsts!
Thank you for the suggestion! And aeroshell is probably the hydraulic fluid you use. Thanks for the support!
Does an aero engine usually have both a coarse full flow filter system and a fine (highly efficient at removing micro particles but has a low flow capacity) filter bypass system?
@@davidpowell3347 nope, adds complexity. Piston engined aircraft (the older ones) were about KISS. Keep it simple stupid, it adds to the reliability. The oil filter is just a paper filter with no bypass. The filters are changed every 50 or 100 flight hours and required to be inspected for metal material, if a certain amount of metal material is noticed in the filter it's time for a full engine overhaul. I usually only find a couple specs of metal and some lead deposits. Really early aircraft engines didn't even have an oil filter.
Solid testing, presenting, writing and filming.
You guys will do well!
I’d love to see a fuel filter test, too.
I’m constantly told that the 200 series fuel filter should only use genuine filters as the denso filter is also made by the same manufacturer who does the injectors.
Told to avoid aftermarket filters as they’re not as good.
I’ll only use genuine filters. So, I’d love to see ‘genuine’ filters in this mix, too.
Thank you so much, your kind words mean a lot to us especially after all the effort we put into it. That's a great video suggestion. We will look into it, unfortunately our pump does not handle flammable liquids so we would need to buy another one, so hopefully these videos do well so we can afford it, unfortunately as a small channel our budget is tight, but with support like yours, I'm sure we'll get there.
@@BrandRanks Just buy a cheap fuel pump and stick a regulator on it.
I don't think flow rate is all that important when it comes to fuel delivery on a stock setup. It's the filtration that's important.
But, no doubt you'll get there! Lets hope for another 15k subs off this video! :)
@@wheeman999 Not that its a bad idea but I don't think people buy fuel filters enough to care. I'd go as far as to say the average person will never buy a fuel filter. I deliver auto parts and its very rare I deliver a fuel filter.
@@666cemetaryslut Naturally, I'm in the minority 😅 Just make the videos and shove it down peoples throats. They can tell us what we want to see lol.
Awesome tests! Love the new setup. I’d love to see the new Walmart exclusive Fram Endurance in one of your future videos! Thanks for the content!
Thank you so much for the kind words! We left a little Easter egg at the end of the video showing the FRAM endurance. Thanks for the support.
@@BrandRanks oh duh! How did I miss that! Haha that’s awesome
Please do the Toyota YZZN1 or similar filter. No one has done ant testing on the OEM filter. Thanks for the tests! Great job!
I do industrial hydraulics, for us 15 micron is the testing particle size which has a limit of 20 counts. We use 5 micron filters to do a flushing loop to clean the oil and will let it run until the fluid has had a minimum of 50 passes through the filter.
This is great! I have a mint condition Honda Accord coupe with v6 - manual at 250K miles and I want to make it to half a million - sounds like its gonna get there with your help and purolator boss filter every 4k. Thanks
oh im here for good, i watched your first vid when it came out and waited and waited for another! finally!
Thank you so much for your support. I know it was a long time and we are sorry, but working on weekends alone for UA-cam is a slow and painfully process. Hopefully one day, we will be able to dedicate all our time to YT. In the meantime have to keep the 9-5🫣
I am a Mechanical Engineer so I absolutely love your methodology. But I do feel like there is a trade off between flow rate and capacity/performance. What I mean is that I think that a more restrictive flow rate filter media will usually by nature give a higher capacity and a better performance. So considering that if, IF, you consider all four tests have an equal weight you can then add the results together, and the Boss comes out on top with a score of 7.
You are obviously more experienced with testing than I am, so please don't hesitate to respond to my 2 cents worth.....LOL
I also appreciate the tear down and review of all the filters and I agree that it is also an important factor.
Awesome a fellow Mechanical engineer! Yeah there is normally that trade off, but in our FRAM video we found that filter material is also very important, cellulose tends to be very reatrictive and you can get a better filtering performance and better flow with synthetic media. Thanks for watching and supporting our channel! And yes the Boss would come on top actually after all the videos we've done so far they still are on the top even with a 50 percent weight on filtering performance.
Thanks for the response!! Very interesting. I didn't even think about weighting the different results differently, but that is a great point. And it was just my 2 cents worth that I weighted them the same. That sounds like pretty conclusive data. Can I assume that ranking is also compared to your other video with four other filters tested the same way?
I know this is a totally different test, but is there good way to test motor oil?
Again, I so greatly appreciate your testing methodology. There are so many auto part consumable products tests on here that make little sense, but your makes total sense and was a great and interesting watch! I will be watching more of your videos, Thank-you!!!
Sheepish grin...LOL.....Today I changed the oil filter on my 2006 Honda CR-V and installed a Boss based on some other (decent) reviews I watched before yours validated my decision.
Great to see this series is back! Keep them coming. Thank you!
Yes!! Thank you for your support! More on the way.
I got it... your tests are much better than anyone else I've seen so far. Can you also compared the Mobil 1 vs the Purolator oil filter?
Can you also test oils (the highest and equal grade of each brad)? I've seen the Project Farm tests but it's not a "well controlled test" as yours is, and he did not compared apples-to-apples (he used different grades across the oils used, although they were all 5W30).
this is a certified hood classic
@zeza2217, we have just released a video where we test the mobil 1, feel free to check it out. Thanks for watching!
@@BrandRanks
How or where can I find your mobil 1 video review? In your channel I only see seven videos and none of them is for the oil as of today.
this is a certified hood classic
My go to filter is Mobil1 Extended Performance . However there's plenty of good offerings on the market. I've used Purolator and Wix as well.
There is indeed various. We will be testing the Mobil one in this rig on a future video. Make sure to sub so you don't miss the ultimate winner!
@@BrandRanks look forward to seeing it
