The Best & Worst Oil Filter -13 Oil Filters Compared In Head-2-Head Challenge - Fram, Mobil 1, Wix

I cut open 13 oil filters to compare who is the best. Five of the oil filters were for conventional oil and the other eight filters were for synthetic oil. These are the brands of oil filters I cut open: Mobile1, Fram, STP, K&N, Wix, Bosch, Mopar, Motorcraft, AC Delco, and Supertech. This is an Ultimate Oil Filter Challenge, conventional vs synthetic oil filters. This is the best oil filter comparison I have done. Remember an OEM filter is always recommended by the dealer. Once and for all we will see who makes the best ultra synthetic oil filter.
My next oil filter video might be on which oil filter can filter the most dirt or particles out of oil the best. What oil filter are you going to buy now that you have seen what's inside of them?

Motorcraft oil filters are very good filters. Purolater makes them for ford vehicles. Purolater made the very first oil filters for vehicles. With them being the first filter company with all them years, you know that they should know more about filters than the rest. I use 5w30 synthetic blend motorcraft oil and filter and change it every 5,000 miles. They say the filter can be used between 6,000 to 7,000 miles depending on how new your vehicle is. I change it at 5,000 miles because i don't want to run the filter to its limits.

I only wish he did more research into materials used, performance specs, and dimensions such as surface area of the filter medium. Oil filters don’t use cardboard as a filter, they use wood pulp filters, synthetic or a blend of the two. Some filters use a synthetic mesh behind the filter material instead of the steel mesh which I heard was better.

Thanks for all the work on this, and I suspect, some expense. I guess the filters intended for use with synthetic oil have the silicone anti drain back valves since, in theory, people would put more miles on the synthetic oil before changing it and thus the valve would be cooked for more hours. Those filters encased in the mesh are pretty impressive. Keeps the filter material from falling apart. I will have to look for those Fram extended life filters next time I do a change. Sounded like a bit of a rainy day. Cheers.

@@dannyo6699 Don't mean to burst your bubble , but the media in all the frams is paper ,except the Fram Ultra. It is a synthetic made media with wire screen in the middle of the media. And to the other guy who said rubber or silicone are the same is wrong. The silicone is less affected by heat and cold than rubber. So when you want the oil to stay in the filter because of the anti flow back silicone piece to avoid dry starts. It will do its job better than a rubber one. If they were the same in reliability , they would use the cheaper rubber piece in all the filters.

Hi Oxmanagain, thank you so much for your extensive (even expensive money and/or time-wise) evaluation of all these filters. Echoing other commenters, a lot of thought and attention to details went into this video production. My only suggestion, if I may, would be to have used the same size (specs) filters i.e. the different filters that fit the same car as I believe that some filters dimension/specs are so unique on lesser known brand (VW 1.8/1.9 TDI diesel engines) that they are outsourced to another company and relabeled "Napa Gold" for example. Thank you again for such an informative and eye-opening video, Ciao, L (Ford Motor Co. engineering, retired)
