Great Idea!👍👍 I dont use this filter but if anyone else does and wants to send me a used one I'll make a video out of it and see how it did. I'll pin this comment so it sits up Top.

@@WhipCityWrencher I'm not going 10,000 miles on a filter to check!

@@dealy9268 I have gone 35 thousand miles 5 times before changing my full synthetic oil and it was still barley Brown not bad oils and filters can do it these days compared to 3000 mile oil changes from the 60s and I did that on a 25 year old 4runner

@@AntonioClaudioMichael Okay, you do you. As a former auto tech from the 2000's with 24 years experience I would not do that. But that's me.

@@dealy9268 I been a auto Tech For 40 year if you were going to say you do you then you canceled out your own point ... I did it for testing and when the oil looks dang near brand new after 35 thousand miles that is impressive oil and I see how I wrote it kinda sounded like I was saying 35 thousand 5 times before I did a oil change and that is not what I ment I drove 35thousand miles then did a oil change and I did that 5 different times for testing with 5 different oil changes to test the consistency of the oil brand I was using

This is true, but even though the same company makes them, there are variants, bigger inlet holes, more pleats, holes, louvers, plastic cages, etc...These filters might be made by the same company, and may even use the same filter media at times, but if you watch my videos you'll see that the insides are different. This is what I try to show. You can decide which filter you want to use. Thanks for sharing

@@WhipCityWrencher if 15 of them come off the same line and only separation is paint then how do they differ? And do you think wal mart has a filter factory and advance and autozone have their own filter factorys? Lol there all the same and you can not tell a good filter from a bad one unless you test them both after being in service! But I guess you guys don't want to get your hands dirty

@@dodgeramsport01 Please name me a filter that is the same for a Walmart Supertech oil filter, an Advance Auto oil filter, and an Autozone oil filter. I'll pick up all 3, cut them open, and see if they are all the same.

@@WhipCityWrencher K&N filter vs Supertech... I believe they are identical inside.

@WhipCityWrencher can you do something on oil additive. If there worth it or no

@@user-px2xz1bu1x The only thing I could do with oil additives is send a sample to a lab and have it analyzed.

Oil will filter in the material cut off in the end caps. SuperTec looks overall better.

Thank You! and Thanks for sharing all that info!👍

I use the same oil myself the 5W 30. It has additives that help to soften and swell slightly gaskets and seals.

Bought my 2016 Silverado, & started using Mobile 1 syn / factory specs, as GM runs Mobile fluids. I buy 6 AC/Delco filters, at a time from Rock Auto, at about $1.75 ea. My warranty has passed, but I'm sticking with this, just in case I ever have an engine problem.

Super tech may look nicer and appear as such ! But when you figure it took all that glue to glue metal caps on and then you lose length do to end caps on top of extra pleats does it restrict oil flow ! If go ac all day !

My bros car 04 matrix ie Corolla 285 K still gets the Estimated mileage 30 Highway. 26 city. I'd use a better filter. Jus sayin. It's worth it. That's a great little motor..I was unaware that the matrix is a Corolla. I'm impressed by that little car. I'd love a old Crx or insight, but there way more $$$$$ than there worth to me. My bro asked me to go thru the matrix. & Bailed. I drove it a cpl days, & did all the maintenance. He has a small ps leak from the lower hose at the reservoir. So called mechanics couldn't find it. It left a heloifa mess. after going thru the motor, & changing out the trans fluid.( Do it" it has a drain plug. 3 Qts of T IV ) I am impressed with the car...He drives Uber, & said he has had over 6000 trips, with approx 10K customers in that car. But wanted to sell it. He was done. He sold it to me for the junkyard quote. I love this little car! Yeah the doors aren't heavy like a Lincoln mark viii, But it's just as reliable. I've owned over 309 Cars & trucks, I love finding a model I've never had, & making em go, like they should. I enjoy helping many keep there cars in top condition. Yes I loved my 91 SR5 V6 Xtra cab 4x4 on the fly,. But with gas here at $6 a gal. I don't miss that. P.s. the kyb front struts are Nice. Remember Americans don't buydung 💩 We knew years ago, these people were corrupt as hell, & now they're proving it, to the 🌎. 🙏💕💪✌️🏜️

Even with full synthetic??

I had a car with a cartridge filter, had to change the filter every 5k as it would start to crush in, but ran the oil a lot longer to what the oil manufacture indicated.

Having just talked to a couple of oil industry chemists, they have spent decades developing additive packages and formulating base oils to last 20k miles. They have spent millions of dollars in development and millions more testing the oil in actual vehicles. Testing the oils constantly through 20k miles. Cutting open engines. Running engines until they finally fail. When they say the oil is good for 20k, it's better than good for 20k miles.

@@donwyoming1936 The problem lies in the fact that the oil manufacturers can’t test every engine in production. Due to poorly designed PCV systems some engines will sludge regardless of the quality of the engine oil. I’ve seen certain models that have sludged up running synthetic oil at 5000 mile intervals because of poor design and no long drain oil can over that. Saying an oil can run X number of miles guaranteed is a blanket statement that doesn’t apply to every engine. After 30 years in the automotive industry I’ve seen my share of engines that customers sludged up because the design of the engine simply wasn’t conducive to long oil drain intervals.

​@@prevost8686Absolutely. I learned that lesson first hand. You got to do your best to research the vehicle and engine your buying. I stay away from certain manufacturers. Though every brand has good designs and bad designs,

Yep, They must make more $ on the cartridge oil filters, not much to them. But very easy for us, the customer to compare. I dont know if you saw this video I made on 3 cartridge oil filters a while back. It's a bit of an eye-opener on the price we pay for filter boxes lol. Thanks for the feedback 👍kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qdmficeB2syzmmg.html&ab_channel=WhipCityWrencher

I have a 2006 Fusion that uses a cannister, it is odd that you don't get a price break. You have to be careful with the o-ring, one time I didn't install the large o-ring quite right and I had a leak. Luckily I caught the leak while test running the car on the ramp. I have been charging my own oil and filters for about 45 years, and that was the first leak I've ever experienced.

If there is enough room to add an adapter, they see a modification to switch over to spin on filter instead of the canister style

@@edy5082 Interesting I will check into that.

The Ford Focus with the 2.3L Mazda engine came with a spin on filter, the FL-910. You can purchase the oil filter housing for the Focus and it bolts right on to your Mazda. They after that you can use the spin on filter. Word of caution: use the correct torque spec for the bolts because the housing is aluminum and it's very easy to crack the case.

Thank You!🙌 5K is a good OCI👍

@@WhipCityWrencher agree! It’ll probably rust away before it wears out! I do Fluid Film it, so we’ll see!!

A great combination you can always rely on.

Thank you for your details on filters. Great information. I always cut open my used filter just to see the color or junk on media. I just like looking at stuff like that.

Supertech full synthetic oil and filters are great! Just don't fall for the "advanced" 20,000 mile oil marketing trick. Why would you go 20,000 miles without changing the oil? Even 10,000 is pushing it!

@@WhipCityWrencher I was just at Wal Mart this afternoon looking at both of these filters. The SuperTech MP series filters run about $3 less than the comparable AC Delco.

Hi Chuck, Thanks for Sharing!

Yo, UncleLarry !! You say that you "watched a Fram collapse on first start-up" -- which makes NO sense, because the oil filter is under PRESSURE, and it will BURST long before it could ever "collapse", or "crush like a cheap beer can". It's common practice for engine buliders to blame their mistakes on unrelated parts -- and the much-maligned FRAM oil filters are an easy target.

@@SlikLizrd Howdy Chuck; Beats me why it didn't swell instead of shrinking. Saw it with my own eyes though. No cannabis involved. I did ask around. Only explanation that made half sense was combination of high volume Melling pump and stuck bypass valve. Naturally I primed system first and had oil from all push rods and pumped up lifters. Maybe you can come with something.That was 20 some years ago and have not seen that since. I only used Frams for cam break-in because they were cheap. Not anymore. Hasting, Purolator, Wix or NAPPA for me. Race or street.

@@rhubarbsipes1 I believe you. My bro was letting a brand new bmw idle at the dealer, it overheated and caught fire. Lol. Poof ! 🔥

Thank You! Cheers!

The super tech was roughly 40% more according to the beginning of this video. Also the ST is a 20,000 mile filter over the AC was a standard

Thank You!🙌

You're Welcome! Thank You!

Thanks for the suggestion, I'm thinking of converting an extra caliper I have, maybe glue some small round flat disc on the caliper. Thanks for watching!👍

@@WhipCityWrencher NAH. Don't bother. The thickness of the filtering media doesn't really tell us anything about the ability of the media to gather and/or trap harmful particles. The thickness of the media and the Day Code on the filter -- BOTH are un-necessary to report -- but thanks for your past efforts !

@@SlikLizrd I think build dates are applicable in case some time down the road they change design. It let's you know on "X" day we know they changed build quality.

@@PayNoTaxes0GetNoVote The subject was "Date Codes" -- which are rarely shown as an actual date, and often contain misleading digits that are of NO USE to the filter purchaser. Internal info, such as expressed in these so-called "Date Codes" is of no use at all to the consumer. As I've said many times before -- actual dates are expressed as "mm/dd/yyyy", or "dd/mm/yyyy". Yes those "build codes" are uaeful, but NOT TO THE CONSUMER. Whip City Wrencher tries to give us useful information -- and only an actual "Date Code" is of any use to the viewers.

@@PayNoTaxes0GetNoVote That's true --BUT -- it has nothing to do with the fact that those codes often CANNOT be of use to the FILTER BUYER, because they are NOT displayed as an actual "Date Code", in which it is expressed as an actual date-- ie, "mm/dd/yyyy". The point is that a bunch of random numbers and letters that's printed on these oil filters is NOT an actual date code, and should not be used to attempt to determine when the oil filter was made. The "code" is for THEIR use -- not OURS. It's a tracking code -- NOT a "Date Code". After observing dozens of oil filter "reviews" by different Filter-Cutter-Opener Guys, I found ONE (1) actual "Date Code" -- the rest were internal tracking codes that are of NO USE to the rest of us.

frams are good

@@ramonlepana4360 You are wrong. Been doing race engines for over 45 years. One step below crap. Watched a Fram collapse on a fresh engine on a stand during cam break-in. Looked like crushed beer can.

Fram used to be a good filter. They went downhill after Allied Signal bought them out.

Really....did Walmart tell you that?

Fram are junk anyone that has experience will agree

Thanks for sharing!

I can understand warranty issues, I might do the same if I had a new vehicle. Thanks for watching and for your feedback.👍

Always use OEM as well, OEM parts ect.

@@mecalpsha4473 There comes a time when OEM no longer makes the product and you have to settle. Many sell using the term OE and to me that is false advertising. If they claimed OE specs, just like this video shows specs are different, so that too would be false. If they some things were made to OE specs, say water pump as an example, the warranty would/should be much more than what any of the after market offer, as we all know things give out years after purchasing a brand new car. At least in most cases.

I'm with ya ,,, OEM regardless of where it's made , although it pisses me off when I get a GM part that's made in Mexico . My two Yellow Top batteries that I just bought used to be made in the USA ,,, And now made in Mexico ,,,, And with that said we'll see how long they last in Florida with our Heat

What a load of crap dealer unloaded on u with the engine starvation story and bad filter. Engine went because gm builds crappy engines !

Thanks for sharing!👍

Same here, I have always used either Fram or what ever is on sale. I have never had an engine failure. People make way too much about different brands... As you get older you learn to look past the sales BS and use what works. I used Pennsoil for years until it caused the lifters to sludge up in my 1999 2500 6.0 Sierra. I changer over to full synthetic Supper Tech 0-20 and over time the ticking has gone away.

@@stevev3142 Yes, if you drive like a little old lady then yes it wont make a difference.

Yes, if you drive like a little old lady on her way to the super market then you are correct it wont make a difference.

@@ThunderAppeal Won't make a difference if you drive like Richard Petty or a little old lady. Oil filters simply keep out the chunky stuff. They have a bypass valve that opens if the oil pressure gets too high, then you simply bypass the filter. Filter media is rated by micron filtering capability. If you have a tight intake system with a decent air filter, there is not much dust to get into the oil. If you drive like hell and something lets go in the engine no oil filter will help that situation. Engines run better if they are loose than super tight.

Thanks for the feedback👍

6K should be fine as long as the engine stays clean and the oil is high quality long life. A small amount of engine treatment before an oil change helps.

fram baby!!!

Oem is far superior to fram Hilarious

@@ramonlepana4360 lol, a a little nollege is a dangerous thing. BUYDUNG HARRIS 2020!

You won't see Honda engineers putting in a fram filter on they're cars. But then again I haven't seen the inards of that filter in the past few years. It may be superior " but I doubt it.

Engines and thus oil capacity have become smaller as well. Don't need the same size filter on a 2L I4 as you do a 5L V8

I added a remote oil filter manifold that does 3 things.1) Slightly increases oil capacity with two filters. 2) can mount the manifold away from the heat of the engine. 3) double filters the oil, if you go with that option.

Some look like they belong on a Brigs & Stratton Lawn Mower

MobileOne filters usually are bigger in capacity for every vehicle just letting u know. But u can also do cross references because I ran into two different recommendations for different part numbers for the same motor just for different year models. So check around and make sure u know how much room u have and that way u don't have any clearance problems. WIX makes O'REILLY and NAPA oil filters and they are a better filter just letting u know. The company that makes K&N also makes the Supertech filters FYI. Always remember the name and/or price does not make the better or lesser filter so do ur research.

Glad you liked the video.
