My cousin and her friend have a UA-cam channel with everyday events, "Merri Ella" They always have very interesting and entertaining videos. Something your wives may like to watch.
Please check out their channel, subscribe, and give them a thumbs up! I'll Greatly Appreciate it! Thanks!! Here is the link to their channel. www.youtube.com/@MerriElla750
So the bottom line is they are fairly equal quality filters. Both are rated for 20,000 miles, but anyone concerned with the health of their engine is changing the filter every 5,000 miles, so there should be no difference in performance between the two. For half the cost, the SuperTech is the clear win.
One made in USA for Mobil but didn't mention where Supertech was made. So if made in China, that would explain 1/2 the cost. A US company may own the name, but doesn't mean they are made in US.
@@trvman1- At 0:08, it shows the Supertech box with "Made in the USA" printed on it.
As of 2023 that 5k is too long of an interval it is better to drop back down to 3500 or so because Direct Injection high pressure fuel pumps are good at diluting the oil especially for people that have short commutes and not much hwy time to burn off the excess fuel being introduced. Before Turbos and Direct injection 5k was perfectly fine and probably still is, but the longer these new engines are out they have learned a lot from them. My wife's 2020 Camry SE uses OW-16W and I do it every 5k, but after seeing what is happening with Honda accords right now with oil dilution I think I am going to shorten her intervals because she has a short commute. Now the Camry does not have Turbos and it does not have the carboning up issues because it has both Direct and Port injection systems. Seriosly if you own a Turbo charged engine with Direct injection shorter intervals are in your best interest:P
@trvman1 go back and watch the video and take off the blinders. He clearly points out that the Supertech is made in the US.
Not convinced "price and pretty labeling" of the filter determines its filtration properties...
Started using Mobil 1 filter a few years ago and never looked back.
LOL. The filter companies can't fool anyone anymore. They must know they're being watched. I see Fram has cleaned up their act quite a bit. Champion Labs has had the whistle blown on them too. BTW, I have used Wal-Mart Super-Tech motor oil in my cars for years. Buy it by the pail and use a pump to fill the car. Sold my last car with 475,000km (294,000mi), oil change every 10,000km (6200mi) and none of them ever burnt an ounce of oil. Used Wix filters.
Sounds like a good Oil Change interval.Thanks for Sharing👍
I also use Walmart synthetic oil, made by the same company that makes the one for Amazon and others. Cheaper than the major brands and just as good, IMO.
Thats a joke right ?
Rather buy the traditional plastic presentation and pour it straigh into the oil compartment.
Which car was that?
Have found by experimentation, select brands,ie: (Dello, Rotella and Valvoline) hold oil pressure in summer better than many others.@@pedrofernandez8729
When looking at filtration you want to look at the total surface area of tbe filtering mat (in this case) micron rating, length, heigth, width, and thickness. Proper flow thru the rilter is the name of the game. You can put them on a test bench and pump oil thru them and test pressure and volumes per second as the oil flows thru them. You could also add contaminants to test the clogging resistance if you can.
You and project farm are my two favorite youtubers to watch. Thanks for all the content, bud. 👍
Hi Nathaniel, Wow, Thank You.
I'm flattered to be in the same comparison. I like watching Project Farm videos also👍
Take Care👍
These cutaway videos are a valuable source. I've been changing my oil for a while, never thought much about the construction of the oil filter or even much into the specific type of oil I've been buying. The Mobil 1 and Super Tech filter here are very similar, unfortunately the maximum protection filter wasn't at my store for my car so I went with the Mobil 1. Super Tech maximum protection is a good alternative. The Superior protection one however is similar to FRAM extra guard.. which is cheaply made.
Thanks for Sharing👍
I change my oil aprox once a year by mileage. I dont mind spending a little more money on a good filter. When your spending 70 thousand on a truck, i sure the hell am not worried about 8-10 dollars more for filter.
Thanks for the detailed analysis. I would go for the supertech filter changing it at about every 3,000 miles. I would not stretch it to 5,000 miles or more
as recommended by the auto manufacturers.
Automatic transmission fluid should be never changed in 2007 Toyotas?
Worse for me is seeing the recommended automatic transmission changing requirement. My 2007 Toyota Corolla matrix recommends never changing the
automatic transmission fluid.
I did drain my automatic transmission fluid with my filter at about 5 quarts. I did locate and buy the required Toyota IV transmission fluid. I measured the fluid
removed and replace the same amount. I did this at about 150,000 miles.
The worse was the drained 5 quarts of fluid was solid black with no red color. The original Toyota IV fluid is a red color. The removed old fluid was black.
Once the new 5 quarts of new fluid was added, the dip stick fluid was black with lots of red also.
I repeated the transmission fluid 5 quart with filter replacement at about 200,000 miles. This time the dipstick fluid after was mostly red with a little black in
the fluid.
I can see why Toyota wants owners to never change the automatic transmission fluid. They can sell you another new Toyota after about 200,000 miles because
the transmission has failed.
You're Welcome!
Yep, manufacturers dont want your vehicle to last forever. They need to repair and sell cars to make money.
I think a 30K to 50K transmission oil change is a wise thing to do.
May your Toyota last you a long time😊
Thanks for Sharing👍
I continue to be impressed by the ST MP oil filters. For the price they rival big name filters. I use them and they work just as good as name brand. Good job as always whip👍
Thank You!👍
Very surprising. The only other test I would like to see run is the condition of them after a 5,000 mile service and also the used oil from exact model cars with same mileage. Excellent video.
That's because Walmart isn't actually making them. They contract that out to a known filter manufacturer who makes it for them. Could be Mann/Hummel, Purolator, Wix, Fram, etc.
For the money, I would choose the Supertech.
Kind of impressed by the Super Tech it's made in the United States. Walmart usually has all their crap made overseas and it's actually seems like a good filter especially for half the price of the mobile
That name is what’s costing you. It’s no different than your kids toy with 🤬anything Disney on it.
EVERYBODY makes things overseas.
Made in the USA doesn't make stuff better! Mind over matter..
@@SirCricket It does if I live in The U.S.
That SuperTech filter is solid. Whip has definitely increased my respect for Walmart oil filters.
Nice test, but who in the world would let their engine go for 20k miles without an oil change?
My ex girlfriend would, 😆
The same guy that wears his drawers 'til they look like Chocolate Venitian Blinds.
@@SlikLizrd 😂😂😂
Usually women who know no better and only go by the warning light. Nowadays "woman owned and driven" is a big red flag.
Amsoil fanboys, that's who
I've been using Super tech filters for years. Never had any issues. I also used ST synthetic 5w20, but most if the time Valvoline Advanced Full Synthetic is the same price, so i use Valvoline. But the filters are excellent. Change every 4800-5000 miles.
Thanks for Sharing👍
You are wasting $. You are good for a minimum of 6000 miles . My 4runner has 327k and no problems.
@@chrismemphis8062might as well play the lottery
Super Tech oil is made by Warren, good oil.
I found the 20k miles ST filter that fits my jet boat for $2.50 each, on sale.
Yamaha filters were $25 ea, and made in thailand.
Wow good deal👍
@@WhipCityWrencher More like 'Yamaha is a rip off'
Wow!!!!😮
ST filters are made by Champion Labs in Clover SC Champion Plant.
Champion Labs makes OEM Motorcraft, OEM GM on some applications, AC, Valvoline, AutoZone and the Mobil 1 filter.
Mann Hummel makes Motorcraft filters and Mobil 1 as well as Purolator and Mann.
This.
Walmart filters and synthetic oil every 3,000 miles. Cheap insurance.
Been doing a lot of research on this ST oil/filters as I’ll be using it in my wife’s car this week; like many of the comments on here say I to am impressed by the quality of ST oil & the filters. I think for half the price of Mobil & other major oil brands, it’s just incomparable! Thanks for this great video, and all your work I am a subscriber.
Thank You! and
'Thanks for Subscribing!👍
As a retired mechanic I have to say the super tech looks good but will stick with napa gold
Way better micron rating on the Wix/Napa Gold.
Very good comment! Totally agree on Napa Gold. I wish they were cheaper though)
Been using Walmart oil an filter since 1980s excellent service !
How nice of Jason to send you these two fine filters! Another great review! Have a wonderful weekend! 👍🎄✨
Hi Ella, Thank You!
Yes, it was nice of Jason.👍
Have a great weekend also!😊
Awesome detail! I've been wanting to see a oil filter review like this for a long time!
Thanks! I'm glad you liked the video.
Ive always used Mobil 1 the most, others only if i cant get it, but when ive taken the valve covers off, it looks absolutely brand new. Synthetic is the way to go. Keep the oil changed and even the fram orange can works fine. Mine easily go 300K. Only now that i dont have salt and rust will the body last long enough. Any money the transmissions will let go and the engine still runs like new.
Many people ignore the transmission until the fluid is brown and stinky and it's slipping unfortunately.
@@RetroCaptain definitely. I've always kept mine changed. Seems like after 250K and 15 years the seals probably get hard. On those -15° mornings it wouldn't move until it warmed up. Now we're up to 35° and the old girl won't move. I'm sure eventually it'll be idling to warm up when it's 70° and at some point no amount of warming up will help.
@@robertbell525 Try draining off enough fluid to accept at LEAST two (2) full bottle worth of Lucas Transmission fix (it's like STP for automatic transmission).
It helped mine as far as the banging noise at shifting but unfortunately the gear set is damaged so I had to park it.
I'm thinking you might need 3 bottles.
If the seals are hardened, there's another product that is said to be magic on old hard seals.
AT-205 Re Seal.
Maybe try the re seal first, and if that doesn't work, then the Lucas.
I know the Lucas won't help tired hard rubber. It just makes the fluid a little thicker.
After the 2 bottle worth in my small transmission, you can't tell. It looked the same as before and drips easy. It just "feels" a little more like "oil" than before.
Regardless the thing will eventually be too difficult to live with and need replacing.
Been there before and it's a bunch of work yourself and expensive if you hire a shop.
Impressed by your analysis and methods
Thank You
Been using supertech for years no problems 👍
So nice of Jason! Very good comparison and review Pete. TFS Merri :)
Thank You, Merri!😊 and
Thanks, Jason!👍
Just stumbled across your video. Great review. I just subbed!
Awesome, Thank You!👍
I've only used fram oil filters and Quaker State oil in my 04 silverado Z71 5.3. Still, everyday day work truck with 425,000+ miles all original engine except water pump at 380,000. Original trans also.
That's pretty good!
Thanks for Sharing👍
How many fuel pumps
More threads isn't a hill of beans.
Mobil with more sq inches for me.
I've been using them for decades, never a problem
I'm going to try the Supertech. Thanks
Yeah, Thanks Jason!
Great video! Thank you so much!!
You're Welcome👍
Thanks!
With the way things are constantly changing, I open up the boxes in the store to verify the insides are what they are supposed to be. I've seen some that say they have silicon anti drain back valves on the box but they are actually rubber. My son and I bought up all the Super Tech filters they had on the shelf for our cars (same ones) because of your videos. They were on sale for $3.40 a piece so we couldn't pass it up!
Hi Papi,
Thanks for Sharing!👍
So, you're the one who's been buying all the toilet paper during PLANDEMIC?
Jerks like you and your son are the reason why normal people go into Walmart and can't find the filters or oil we need in stock. There is already a trucking shortage and in rural towns it's every other week until filters and oil come back in stock. 🇺🇸🖕
@@Resist_JWO_1984 Bottled water, toilet paper, and bullets. Stupid monkeys. 🤣
@@MindsMouth When I buy oil filters at Walmart, I also open the boxes to ensure the correct filter is in the box. People have been known to take expensive oil filters and put them in a cheaper costing filter box.
Great job Pete
Thank You!
In Canada the Mobil filter is $ 23 CAD. I will definitely check out the Supertech Brand' there is no reason by the examination done here that it won't work just fine for 5K miles.
Awesome job on the review and video Thanks!
Thank You👍
Glad you liked the video😊
Thanks, Pete
Both filters are serviceable. I got a buddy that swears by the Mobile 1 filters. I agree about not using a dented can.
You're Welcome, Jonathan!
Mobil 1 -- the most over-rated oil filter on the market -- the smart people swear AT them !!
The SuperTech oil filter is a much better value.
Best day of the week!
LOL,
Thank You!👍
I se SuperTech oil & filters in all my vehicles. I change at a maximum of every 5,000 miles. No issues, good value.
Thanks for Sharing👍
I actually like the nylon cage more. I wish more brands would go with them. I feel like they are better for oil flow.
super tech looks fine thanks for the comparison I'll start using super tech filter and oil save money
Looking over one of your other videos, I would like to see some way of seeing the amount of debris in the threads. Some filters do appear to have quite a bit from what I presume is the thread cutting process. Also consider that the threads are post filtration so any metal debris is heading straight to the engine. Perhaps once cut open you could screw a post into the filter over a white paper and see if any debris gets knocked loose.
Some filters may have some debris some may not, the best thing I can suggest is that before purchasing shake your filter and do a visual inspection. Clean the threads with a white tissue or cloth. Unless you run into a bad batch, 99% of the time the filters are fine.
Exceptional comparison! Probably ST is fine enough since I rarely go over 3500 miles, even with synthetic oil.
Id still like to see how the oil pushes through each filter with each having different sizes and hole shapes. Because they look similar doesnt always mean they will perform the same.
I’ll definitely go with the Mobil.
Wow what an excellent video! Very thorough, every possible component measured. I thought Supertech was just a cheap oil filter but that is not the case, it is a superior bang for the buck filter and the Mobil 1 you are basically paying for the name.
Thanks, I Appreciate it👍
I@@WhipCityWrencherIs the nylon used in the ST oil filter pretty durable compared to the steel one used in the Mobil 1 oil filter? Thank you?
@@MrRGiller I've grown to like the nylon center cores, I dont think they will cause any problems.
@@WhipCityWrencher That's good to hear. Thank you for the information.
With the Mobil 1 you get 15% more filter area and what you are buying is a filter. Seems to me you get more flow and more life out of the Mobil 1. All of the other useless weighing he did has no effect on the ability of the filter to clean oil.
Great work sir!
Thank You Much!👍
Jay the Florida pool pump motor repair guy. When Service Calls Longwood approved ! that was good info 2 see👨🔧good job !!WCW
Thanks, Jay!
Hey brother merry Christmas 🎁🎄 to you and your family. Both great filters wouldn’t mind using either. I would probably favor the Mobil however on a keep engine especially under warranty conditions. The anti drain back valve on the super tech looks like some old champ labs stock.
Hi Denny, Merry Christmas to you and your family as well!🎄
I’ve used Supertec oil filters and full synthetic high mileage on all my three cars for twenty plus years. I just changed the oil in my 2000 Camry and for both filter and oil the cost was less than $24. All my cars are 150K plus miles. Maybe it’s because I own a Honda, Toyota and Mazda but I haven’t had any mechanical problems. I change oil every 5,000 miles or once a year.
Thanks for Sharing👍
I have been using ST oil and filters for a long time now. I have had as good or better results with it as the more expensive ones. I do recommend them
I buy the OEM filters. Not much difference in price at Walmart.
Been using Super Tech for as long as I can remember. I like that open cage design for good oil flow.
Thanks for Sharing!
Vs metal ?? Lolol
I have used many different oil filters over the years and only 1 really stands out as being really better than many....the BOSCH "Distance Plus"!!❤️ Distance Plus. If you can even find them buy them if money is no object. Most, expensive or not so much are good if you change oil at 5000 miles. Some are rated 99 pc filtration some only 97🙏.
All this seems to be good to know, but what really matters is performance, filtering particles, and flow rate. These are hard to quantify. OTOH, If the Supertech does a similar job for half the price, that's a win.
My wife has a Hyundai i10 , the cabin filter/ air con filter cost R236 for a brand called GUD , the other brand is called DUNLOP for R82, that was last year, i replaced it again 2 weeks ago & bought the Dunlop again & this time it costed R75, No issues at all.
I would use either filter and feel good about it. I always use the OEM oil filter because that's the way my father taught me when I was a young "want to be mechanic."
Bill
Hi Bill,
Thanks for Sharing👍
I would certainly say though based on that tear down I wouldn’t hesitate to use on of those super tech filters on a vehicle thatvis out of warranty or a little older if they had one that is compatible. As long as it’s made in America I’d use one.
I have become a fan of yours in past month and a half or so ,and I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate and respect all the work you put into your videos and I only have one question about oil filters and I was wondering about flow through them. Could some filters have too much restriction ? I know they have a bypass but could it be a problem and if so ,is there any way to test them for flow?
Thank You, Frankie!👍
As for your question, sorry I dont know. I dont have the necessary equipment to test them.
Not to worry, Frankie -- Modern oil filters are strategically engineered for best Cost-Per-Dollar filtering -- and they avoid internal restrictions as a matter of course.
1. Number and size of holes in Base Plates has increased.
2. Center Tubes have more holes and/or louvers.
3. Bulky Wire Screens eliminated, more room for pleats.
Flow Testing by individuals is not gonna happen -- necessary equipment is too expensive, and the cost of training involved to operate the equipment and interpret the findings is prohibitive.
I'm more concerned with Micron Ratings, and quality oil filters put their Micron Ratings ON THE BOX.
@@SlikLizrd "quality oil filters put their Micron Ratings ON THE BOX" or on the Fram website.
Louver cores and screen backed media would be more restrictive in my opinion. Micron capture rating goes up efficiency goes down. Can’t have the best of both worlds.
I'd go with the Mobil
More filter media
I liked the bypass valve design better
I also liked the ADBV better... tighter fit more streamlined more attention to detail
$6 more added to overall cost of an oil change isn't much in that context. Your car's engine is far more expensive.
Mobil is my choice here
Nice comparison 👍 informative and interesting. Good stuff
Thanks, drum!👍
The small diff in filter media area isn’t an issue at 3/4K mile oil changers,but a fairly dirty motor or tired motor with blowby contaminating the oil with carbon particles getting past worn rings during combustion could be an issue at the long advertised
20k mile oil & filter change interval possibly putting filter into dreaded bypass mode.
I prefer the older Mobil1 oil filter that was built by Champ Labs & based on a Delco gold ,but the newer ones made by Mann &Hummel are good as well, but expensive....the SuperTech is basically a Delco blue ,it's a great filter at its price point & I got no problems using them, unless it's the ones that got the cardboard felt endcaps, won't use the Delco with felt endcaps either, I check the filter before it goes on or even in the cart 🛒
Hi Mark, I dont care for the felt/cardboard end caps either. I opened up an ST Supertech a while back with the felt endcaps and they weren't even glued on.
Ive found differ variations of the same brand filter before. One was metal capped and one was fiber so I check a few boxes and decide.
Champ. Mann, purolator, motorcraft wix all same company now.
Great information! I think I'm going to try one of these Walmart filters.
Glue breaks down, id go with the mobile 1 still just based off those two and the way the inner rubber sits, just looks more reliable imo
Good review, oil filters are relative cheap for most cars, so I stick to Mann or Purflux. No need to go cheaper or dealer, I don't feel like opening oil filters to see if they are good. Above brands are known to be OE suppliers for European cars and OEM for Euro market Japanese cars. I replace the oil filter halfway the oil change cycle anyway. My oil cycle (diesel) is also lower than the book says (15000km instead of 20000km) and I have a big sump of 6 liters for 2.2l engine so oil does not get diluted or contaminated as quickly as newest cars with smaller sumps.
ive used Orange filters all my 60 years and never one engine issue over millions of miles. Regular dino oil and Fram filter every 3000 miles and you are golden. If you cant be bothered to change your oil you arent a car guy anyway. Running a oil that can withstand 7k miles between changes while using a filter intended to be changed every 3k is asking for problems.
Times change....that 3,000 number is now probably 5,000. If you have a GM 3.6 every 4000😊
I have seen a lot of caterpillar filters used and bandsawed open to look for metal chunks
i have been using supertech for years plus 5w20 synthetic oil 2005 v6 accord 10,000 mile changes 345,000 miles
Seems like by the time you find a filter you like they change suppliers or construction. I think I just need to find one I like and buy a case. Maybe NOS.
Mobil 1 has the BEST different drainback valve system available
I havent watched the video yet, but when im at Walmart buying oil and filter, I buy OEM if they have it, and SuperTech if not.
Very detailed comparison. Thanks.
Who makes Super tech filters?
An oil analysis after using each filter would be a real life test, i think.
Thanks!
An oil Analysis would be interesting. Champ Labs. make the Supertech oil filters.
Looking at the ADB and BPV design, the ST looks like it's made by Fram. It wouldn't surprise me since Walmart has been such a huge Fram partner for so long. The baseplate design is interesting. Wonder why they do that? I think the polymer cores are the way everyone should go. They flow better, do the job just fine, and have more than proven themselves over the years. Thanks for the vid!
Thanks!
Ruff
Not Fram. Made by Champion.
I just picked up a VP racing filter. It’s very similar to the super tech filter just with a metal core and a synthetic media/wire backing (royal purple clone).
Hi Chandler,
I opened one up about a year ago and it didn't have any wire backing, here's the video link.
ua-cam.com/video/OQsw4tTUPRk/v-deo.html&ab_channel=WhipCityWrencher
@@WhipCityWrencher I believe they updated it in 2022, I seen another example on FordBoss and it had the same wire backing as the royal purple. Made by champ. I’ll give it a shot. Personally like the Purolator Boss the best.
@@chandlerchhem2128 Oh, Okay thanks for letting me know.
I like the Boss also.
Question, do they recycle used oil and can it be cleaned good enough to be used again ? Also, how do they determine the grade ?
I know the engineers of the Mobil 1 designed the filter with proper flow characteristics, but those tiny louvres look very restrictive. For me, Supertech FTW.
Those poorly punched louvers trigger my entire brain and hand to reach elsewhere.
The louvers on the M1 are fine. And, there's always significantly more louver openings than holes in a center tube. Always. If Whip shined a light source over the outlet opening it would prove those two points. When it comes to flow, no filter can flow more than the inner diameter area of the engine block filter mounting stud. So, the ST won't flow more than the M1.
@@faxmen09 Exactly. The main restriction is the media itself.
15 years ago the M1 Extended was the exact same as the Bosch Premium. Kinda poor micron rating. I prefer 20-23 range @99%
@@GT-mn3bx YEP. I'm kinda partial to the Bosch Premium's "99% AT 20-Microns", rather than those who say "Greater Than 20 Microns".
Yeah. I know. Picky, picky, picky -- 😁
Damn, I've been buying the Mobil 1 oil filters for my Subaru and Honda figuring it was better. For twice the cost I can see that it is not and the two look fairly equal at best!
I’ll go with the ST
I would not use a filter with a dented can. If it compromised and you end up with a leak or worse, a rupture, you’re really kinda screwed. Why take the chance?
Both are nice filters I’d gladly use either. I like that neither of them went crazy with the glue (can you tell that is a pet peeve of mine) and use quality materials. My biggest problem with the supertech is that it is exclusively sold by Walmart. The Walmarts down here are bigger than some suburban shopping malls and twice as crowded. But it is a really nice filter.
Hi James, I'm with you on the dented filter.
Thanks for Sharing!
I''l take what works and made in the U.S.A over over-priced any day. Been using ST in my 2001 subaru outback since I got it with 196,000 miles on it. It now has 288,xxx miles on it and runs like a top no smoke. Thanks for the vid! Confirms my bit of research I've done on oil and filters.
You're Welcome and Thanks👍
wow im impressed! super tech best buy. hold on to it and compare to napa gold (the king) great review.
Thanks👍
Awesome video as always! What is the best way to reach you if I wanted to send you a couple of filters ?
Thanks, K Beg,
Send me an email at Poker4me007@gmail.com
I usually use Motorcraft. They’re great filters and they’re cheap. If I can’t find them, I’ll go with the more expensive Mobil 1 or Wix. Used to really like purolator, but I usually can’t find them locally.
Great comparison! I've got to admit that I thought very little of the Supertech brand....until now. Given your comparison, I am going to start saving my $$ and going with the Supertech filters now!
Thanks👍
Super Tech wins in my book. I’m going to start saving money. Was using Mobile One filters for 20 years.
I think MP Supertech is a good alternative to the Mobil oil filter. Not much of a difference.
I was unboxing these things at Walmart one day and looking at the inside of the supertechs I like how big the vents are versus those little slits, they look like the inside of the K&N HP’s, I wonder if they flow like a K&N, because I’d gladly start using them at $3.75 each for my car
Supertech for the win!! No way I'd pay double just for the name. That ST filter is outstanding value and quality.
Thanks for Sharing👍
MP10060 is $5.90 at my local Walmart. The Mobil1 M1-113a is $11.44. Try buying it at the parts store down the street and it's $17.99! I personally use the MP12060 since it's a bit longer and still fits just fine in my sister's vehicle, so I assume it is going to have equal or greater filter capacity to the M1-113a.
the reason the super tech had more threads is becouse the gasket is thicker
I won't go 10k, let alone 20k, but I will trust the supertech filter will protect my engine just fine as the mobil 1 within the 5-6k interval.
The Super Tech seems fine for the price, but I would never run a 20k mile oil change like that. These filters would most likely be "ok" for a 10k interval. But by that I mean change the oil every 5k and the filter every 10k.
As with ALL filters, the dirtier the filter gets, the more efficient it is. right up until it's plugged. Then it's 100% efficient.
► Thanks For Watching! and Watch an oil filter inspection video every Friday on this UA-cam Channel, Thank You!
Always check the threads where the filters screw onto the engine. I see the Mobil looks to have some particles in the threads.
Great Advice👍
The mobile 1 looks very similar to a Motorcraft filter design. I wonder if they contract with the same manufacturer.
That's all fine and dandy if your Wal-Mart carries the S.T. filter that you need, my ghetto Wal-Mart never has the three S.T. filters that my cars use but they have plenty of M.1 filters.
If the bypass valve is opened, does it close automatically? informative good video. thanks
Yes, it should, Thanks!👍
Year End Whip (Wrap) up. I watched all the videos. Ive learned a great deal. In sum the quality isn't there regardless of brand Glue on filters and the poor quality of the paint on the canisters etc. I have determined I will not run s filter over 5000 mikes regardless of brand vehicle or oil type. The quality isnt there. My father ran toilet paoer for a filter in his Jeep in anothet time.I recall the talk how well it worked.
Christmas Wish list

Wish list #2, I don't know.
Have a Merry Christmas!
Notice the super tech, inside the oil filter it has a ton more filter area vs the metal inside of the mobil1 with the plastic gates.
Actually the Mobil has a little more filter media but they are close.
The reality is, if you’re changing your oil as often as you ought to. The super tech will do just fine.
Hi all, im from South Africa. I to have came to realize a year ago, there is not enuf difference in cheap & expensive oil filters. Same goes for air filters including cabin filters. I had a bmw 4 cylinder & use to change the oil & oil filter every 10 000 kilometres. The only filter that was completely broken apart was a WIX oil filter. That was very bad for just 10 000 kilometers. At the shop i bought it said " bad batch" but again, no bad batches on the others.
I wouldn't pay extra to get the Mobil1, I would buy the Supertech, the Mobil1 is over price and it is exactly the same as a Bosch premium or a Purolator one since it is made by Purolator.
In many ways you get what you pay for, good Quality oil and filter is cheap really, by comparison to rebuilding or replacing an engine, with modern engines the most unkind thing you do them is lack of proper servicing!!
In some ways the supertech filter looks better than the mobil 1 filter!
