We LAB tested four high mileage oil filters to see which one was the best. From their capacity to filter out aluminum powder, to their flow restriction, and filtering performance, we're leaving no stone unturned. If you want to learn how an oil filter works and find out which one takes the crown, then stick around.

My vehicle maintenance is similar, vehicle having 310,000 miles. Please note, you do not have to use the high mileage every oil change. It has seal conditioners. So every other time is adequate for engines over 5 years old. Sometimes I use 1 quart of the high mileage with 4 quarts of full synthetic. I don't want to over condition the seals. But with 400,000 you are doing many things right...

Force Induction applications are more severe to oil as compared Natural Aspirated Engines. Would flow in FI be more important then NA engines?

I used to use a bypass filter along with the normal full flow filter. It would filter constantly even and especially at higher engine rpm, and filter down to 5 micron. Since it is so restrictive, the full flow (normal) filter was there to provide filtering AND oil to vital engine components. However oil that was 2 years old was just as clean as it was at 500 miles. I changed the bypass once a year.

@nrich5127 7 ай бұрын

My results are : 1. I use only full synthetic oil and usually a Fram XG filter every oil change 2. I do an oil change every 5000 miles 3. at 200,000 miles my engine burns zero oil and runs like the day I bought it In my personal opinion the 5000 mile oil change gives the best results regardless of the oil or filter used or the make and model of the car. I have driven at least a million and half miles in my life so far and I have never blown and engine.

Same here, I buy the "high end" Fram filters for my vehicles but do them every 5k miles with synthetic blend. Been doing this since the 90s without issue. Synthetic obviously came along a bit later and I switched from 3k to 5k miles after finally accepting 5k was okay with the upgraded oil and filters combined. I use MotorCraft too since I'm a Ford fanboy. My Fords have gotten totaled before I've ever had to do any engine work (when you drive 160-230 miles a day for work, the fools will eventually catch up to you no matter how cautious you are).

As you can see by his test the filter media was basically clean after directly pouring in metal. I do not recommend my practices just stating my real world experience.

@donaldschmied5600 6 ай бұрын

Sorry Rich, but ALL IC engines burn SOME oil. Yours may be using a very small amount-from what you've written its not enough to need any added between oil changes, but still a measurable amount. My wife's Scion goes 7500-10,000 mi between changes and the oil level (of 5W-20 oil) drops VERY little. But without the thin film of oil that is metered through the OIL CONTROL rings (that's their name) engines would have much higher amounts of friction. The heat generated with no cylinder lubrication would be enough to quickly seize the engine. That tiny bit of oil being supplied to the cross hatching of the cylinder walls, (or more, depending on your particular engine's state of wear) much of which burns off with each combustion cycle, is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY to lubricate the cylinder walls.

I always run synthetic oils with either the Fram Ultras in my Subarus and the Wix XP in my diesel. You can waste money by changing the oil and filters more frequently if that gives you piece of mind but I usually do 10,000 between oil changes in my vehicles. My Subarus range currently in the 140,000 to 150,000 miles and the diesel is at 200,000 and run great. Things have changed greatly in the quality of oils and the amount of contaminates that EFI engines produce. There is no need to do the 3,000 mile oil changes anymore.

So my take away from this is the mobile one has better flow but it doesn't have better filtering capacity and for a non-performance vehicle the Fram Ultra would be acceptable in the essence of making sure the longevity of that engine stays very healthy for much longer Now with that being said I would ask you if you guys make sure that the bypass rate was the same for each one of these filters to make sure that the initial oil flow testing was accurate

@BrandRanks Жыл бұрын

@Ford Boss me we would definitely agree with that take away. I personally have ran the FRAM for years and have had no issues. As for the the bypass valve pressure, you have a good point. In order to make the fairest comparison we could, we applied the same pump power to all of the filters. Unfortunately, some of these manufacturers don't specify their by-pass valve pressure ratings. So maybe on the next video we will test measure that. Thank you for your input, it really is much appreciated and helps us a lot to improve and get better.

Most bypasses open at less than 20 psi I believe. They have to because the pump can't shove all the required volume of oil the engine needs through a full flow filter especially when cold or at higher rpms. The filter is still filtering, just not the entire volume of oil that the pump sends through it. I use AMSOIL first, then Wix XP second choice and have used a few Mobile One filters. If you want to filter your oil really well install a bypass system.

The KZfaq algorithm worked here. I’ve been searching for real filter testing for over a year now. I really appreciate the scientific method and getting to filter performance vs look like other channels. This is very Project Farm style testing. Video quality is also great. I hope this goes viral for you guys. A few suggestions for future testing as I think this could be big for your channel. As others have suggested, I’d test other brands including Amsoil, Napa Gold and Platinum (or WIX equivalent), Royal Purple, Purolator One and Boss, AC Delco Ultragaurd Gold. Since you have built such a good rig and have access to a lab I’d suggest some extra tests. You could do a filter efficiency test to see, over a fixed period of time, how much aluminum of various particle sizes gets filtered out. Would be interested to test at 20, 30, 40, 60, 100 micron - effectively creating an efficiency per particle size. For the particle capacity test it would be interesting to take the filters to when the bypass lifts (or the media fails) and to know the pressure that happens at. Keep up the awesome work.

@@djasseater2262 That really depends on which line of Fram oil filter that you choose. Fram’s Extra Guard and Drive lines are some of the worst in the market, with the Drive being Fram’s worst line. The Extra Guard line is its traditional line that ruined Fram’s reputation by being sold as a premium line that failed to perform once people started to test and publish results on the internet, with the Extra Guard sometimes getting stories of having caused engine damage by having the filter media disintegrate into the engine and clog it up years ago on the internet. The Drive line is even worse by having a plastic core instead of a metal one. However, I have learned that counterfeit Fram filters have also damaged engines, so some of the damaged engine stories could be due to the fakes. Other stories on the internet showed that the Fram Extra Guard was cut down until it was barely good enough for 3,000 miles but no more, which caused problems once cars that can do more miles per oil change started getting sold. Fram’s Tough Guard and Force lines are the minimum acceptable quality lines. They get an adequate job done. The Ultra Synthetic and Titanium lines are Fram’s premium lines which are high quality. The Synthetic Endurance line is its super premium no expense spared line, including a metal screen to back up the filter media. It is overkill, but could be worth it if your oil change intervals are very long. There are other oil filter brands to be wary of. Champion Labs sells two lines of oil filters that are widely rebranded. Its current standard oil filter line is often known as E-core, has a plastic core, and has a poor reputation. Champion Labs’ XL Synthetic Oil Filter line was at one time Champion Labs’ standard line, and is premium quality. Its most famous rebrand is Mobil 1. Mobil wanted nothing to do with the E-core line and continued to buy the old line when Champion Labs introduced the cut-down line. AC Delco and STP are some of the many brands that resell E-core rebrands. Fram bought Champion Labs out a few years ago. That probably explains why Fram Drive filters look a lot like E-core filters.

This video is spot on. I used K&N for years before I realized I was sacrificing filtration for flow. When I stopped using the K&N, I did use the Fram Ultra Synthetic for the subsequent oil change to clean it all out. Then I switched entirely to Mobil 1 extended performance from then on out. My oil definitely seems to have gotten cleaner. The K&N only protects for 5000 miles tops. One time I waited 6500 miles while using the K&N and the oil got so dirty, I ended up doing 2 oil changes within the next 1000 miles to clean it out. Since switching to Mobil 1 EP, I can easily push the interval up to 7500 miles without worrying too much. I still aim for 5k intervals, but if I don't have time, I don't sweat it like I did with the K&N.

I worked for an automotive parts supplier for over ten years where the filters supplied were Fram, Valvoline, Ryco and our house brand. We supplied parts to local speedway competitors. On a number of occasions (once is too many), with Fram, the inner media support collapsed and damaged engines. Fram admitted the fault but wouldn't warranty racing engines. Word got round and the speedway guys and ladies stopped using Fram. On one occasion the seam split on a Ryco filter. Ryco admitted the fault and paid for a _full_ engine rebuild, but because it was a racing engine, the owner did his own removal and re-installation of the engine, which Ryco didn't pay for; everyone was happy. The business eventually dropped Fram, then subsequently dropped Valvoline (to my knowledge no-one ever had a problem with Valvoline) and taking up K&N and Sakura.

However, the cut open and look inside the Mobil filter in this video does give pause and ponder. Future test suggestion, how about A cut open of assorted Mobil filters (different sizes and part#s) would be helpful to see if they are all built the same or if there are crap Mobil filters pending what size your car uses.
