the differences in rubber gaskets are why i always wipe the engine surface clean because the dirt ring from old filter can wind up under the new filters sealing surface. plus then you make sure none of old gasket is stuck to engine.

Mobil is 99% @ 30 microns, Fram XG is 99% @ 20 microns. Fram removed wire mesh backing because filter media was improved, and it was no longer necessary.

No, you’re comparing apples to oranges. Fram is not 99% @ 20 microns. Fram is 99% @ ABOVE 20 microns. Fram could be 99% @ 50 microns (50 is above 20). It’s a misleading marketing gimmick to put any number and use “above.” Mobil could market exactly the same filter as 99% @ above 10 microns and legally it would be an accurate statement (30 is above 10).

@jamesvw769 Жыл бұрын

The high filter rate of the Fram is also causing restriction in flow. We proved this at work noticing a oil pressure drop of 5 to 7 psi compared to Honda oem filter. There is now a YT video showing the same thing. 20 microns sounde great but it does in fact cause a drop in flow and pressure. On a new engine may not be an issue on a older engine its not good.

@Nellis202 8 ай бұрын

Yup …. this would be a concern in ANY vehicle. Especially at start up where flow is critical, and of course during the long cold winter months where flow is critical. Otherwise, the Fram seems to be a quality product. I’m curious to see what details are with their new filter sold exclusively at Walmart. It’s marketed as a high flow filter , the Fram Endurance.

@@onedaily2471 No, it is an industry standard test and is the same used by Mobil 1. The Fram is indeed superior with filtration, by a wide margin. Fram will give you more numbers, like 93% at 15 microns. Mobil 1 won't tell you those numbers because they, frankly, are not nearly as good. For the price, the Mobil 1 is a ripoff. Best way to go is Mobil 1 EP oil and a Fram Ultra filter. Even the Fram orange can cheap filter out filters the Mobil 1 filter. It isn't even close.

This new fram provides excellent filtering like the old one did. It is not any better or worse at filtering pe se than the old one was though. The old one was dual layer full synthetic media. Cellulose media is cheaper and eliminating the metal screen also cuts cost. It's a cheaper filter materials wise, but not cheaper for the consumer price wise. I have nothing against the new Fram ultra and would not hesitate to use one. It just offers less value because it is constructed of cheaper materials that does not translate into savings for the customer.

Mobil 1 filters were notorious in the Jeep 3.8 for the anti-drainback valve not working at that particular angle. Mine, like others, experienced dry starts with a nice rattle for a second or so. I now run Fram Ultras and that is never an issue. Besides that, the filtration is MUCH better on the Fram. Even the cheapo orange can fram whips the Mobil 1 filter in filtration efficiency. In all fairness, I've not run a Mobil 1 in years, so the anti drainback issue may have been corrected. But the efficiency is so bad that I have no reason to give it another shot. I really enjoy your videos, by the way! This one was particularly good because my 2008 Jeep 3.8 gets this exact Fram filter every oil change!

Can't really beat a Fram Ultra, for filtering performance, reliability, longevity, materials it's made from, you know, all the top stuff you want in an oil filter. Some others come close enough in some sense. Amsoil EAO-series oil filters (like the EAO34 which crosses to an XG3600) is very good, but expensive. Royal Purple makes decent oil filters. @Whip City Wrencher cut open a "MicroGard Select" (o'reilly autoparts) oil filter once and it looked the cleanest & neatest inside of just about any seen, with filtering performance that is good enough, so that one is good to use too.

Next auto will be either a rav4 hybrid or a camry xle hybrid and I intend to fit a amsoil bypass filter dotted with Samarium Cobalt magnets after the 90k warranty then use Blackstone Labs to test the oil (50% Amsoil Signature 0w20 and 50% Amsoil OE 0W16) every 10,000 miles. Ideally I will be changing the oil and transmission fluid together and every 50,000 miles. Before the warranty expires I will be changing the oil at 10,000 mile intervals using the oil blend above, my prius used 0w20 Amsoil Signature and only needed changing at 20,000 miles. Terrific stuff.

I use the Fram Ultra and think it is good bang for the buck. I put a longer one than what it calls for with no problems and same price. Also, this Impala is about to hit 300,000 miles on the engine and was mainly driven hard and the great majority of the engine's life it's used conventional oil with a Wix. Change your oil regularly and don't drive hard during the warming up process, though. The transmission made it to 223,000 before needing a rebuild, and the fluid was changed often in it. I'm going for 300,000 miles.

Mobile one needs to up their QA. An oil filters primary job is to filter everything else is a gimmick. Yeah it's nice to have anti drain valves if your filter is installed upside down in engines. And by pass valves are nice if your oil filter is clogged. I would say you have bigger problems then. If the filter media isn't crimped right there is no point because unfiltered oil is entering your engine. . That alone makes Mobile 1 a failure.

I would love to find the information for the Mobile 1 and the filtering efficiency at 25 or 20 microns. Just because they rated it at 30 microns does not mean it's efficiency drops to 0 with anything smaller than 30, it will just filter less effectively at a smaller micron or could even still muster a 98% or 99%. Really depends on the tests and what their marketing department figured would look better on the box. 99% at 30 looks better to the layman than 93% at 20 for example. Not really a fan of that particular oil filter, but it passes my requirements where the Fram does not. IE. No exposed plastic bypass or cage. I'm a Motorcraft guy. The basic Motorcraft has a lower efficiency rating, but the overall construction for the price ($4 at Walmart) is what sales me along side their backflow diaphragm and upper element bypass. (Some Ford's are sensitive to the diagrams. Especially the modular V8's) Motorcraft Racing filters are impressive on the other hand.

Interesting, I wonder what you think Whip. In my view adding a cellulose backing to synthetic is only bad because you than get all the downfalls and cancels out most of the good points of synthetic. For instance cellulose will restrict flow, plug quicker, absorb water and tear because of it. And it will add nothing to the filtration quality over the fully synthetic. In my opinion that is why is it far inferior to plain synthetic media

Hi DOF, I think the numbers Manufactures put out on these oil filters are deceiving and at best misleading. Who is going to use a filter for 20,000 miles/ (Not me)! I think they should have left the Ultra alone with the wire backing. Instead, they're saying the New Ultra now has more pleats, better media, etc. so it is better than the old full synthetic media with fewer pleats.

As I use this number on 4 vehicles, this was of particular interest to me. They both kind of suck for the money but in different ways. I probably would not use either frankly. I think in this case the louvers would flow better. The Fram has very few holes for oil to pass thru which means most of the filter media is going unused as it is just hitting a metal wall. If there were more holes it would flow better and more media would be involved with the flow from one side to the other. The Mobile looks better overall but the media does not impress me, nor does the Frams either. Champ Purolator and Wix are still the winners for me.

I've never had issues with fram ultra, I do avoid the cheaper of their product. A filter that actually you could try cutting open (assuming you haven't) is a stp filter and a carquest one be willing to bet it's the same filter. But the ultra still has that grip on the end of it, that's so useful if a filter is in a weird spot

Hi Spud, The Fram Ultra is a good oil filter. I've opened some STP and they look to be Champ-made and some Carquest which look to be Purolator-made.

how does the Wix XP compare to these?

@WhipCityWrencher 7 ай бұрын

The Wix XP is a very good oil filter. However, the micron rating for the Wix XP is not as good as the filters in this video. Still a very well-made oil filter though. Here's a link to the last Wix XP that I opened. Used oil filter video.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/as2dfLN4t8eql6M.html&ab_channel=WhipCityWrencher

Fram is a better filter overall, assuming Fram claim of “above 20 microns” filtration is not a misleading marketing gimmick. 30 is above 20. 50 is above 20. The medium could be in practice 50 microns filtration, but Fram markets it as “above 20”. There is no independent lab verification of what Fram claims. As far as Mobil, it is a disappointing filter.

@@shanepipkin4041 Probably wouldn't make a difference but I dont know, I would stick with something as close to an OEM filter as you can find. You should probably go to a Kawaski forum and ask what others are using, I'm sure you'd get a better answer.

I’ll take the Fram Ultra all day over Mobil 1. I like the media better. But if I had my ultimate choice, I’d take the Napa Platinum. It’s one of the top filters out there next to Amsoil and Royal Purple. But the Amsoil and RP are way too expensive. And Napa Platinum is inexpensive and Napa gives a military discount.
