Mobil1 M1-104A Extended Performance Oil Filter, 1 Pack

Cut one open once, well made inside unlike Fram.

On the plus side I think the harder cylinder should help me in changing it as the space is tight and hard to get a filter wrench in. So I commonly have to use water pump pliers.This may not deform as much as some others is my guess.

I prefer Mobil 1 filters over others. Amazon has the best prices, and they deliver right to my door.

DIY oil change

The rubber is very firm and reliable

Nothing much really needs to be said. Mobil 1 oil and their filters have always been top tier. I use mobil 1 religiously in my own cars. It seems that this filter is an alternate model number from the old mi-104. And some brief research states the "a" to the Mobil 1 part number signifies possible longer OCI's over the regular one. IIRC 99.0 @ 25 microns vs the new 99.6?% @ 30 microns. But if that's the case, the older model filter will filter better/more efficient over the new one. 25 micron vs 30 micron. Smaller is better....at least when talking about oil filters lol.Needless to say I decided to put one in anyway only because Mobil 1 has a good reputation.Also just note that Amazon isnt accurate with most of the parts for your car. I have a 2018 wrx as one of my cars and a lot of parts I see that I know fits my car, it will say "does not fit" on the Amazon site. So be aware of that. I now look for parts for 2015 wrx because you get a broader, more definitive parts that fit list. 2015-2018 wrx are all the same btw. Just for those who want to know.I almost gave this a 4 stars but I couldn't discredit the actual part. The reason why I really wanted to put 4 stars was because there was a delay with the shipping. So I couldn't penalize the actual part for the rating. I actually dont know who's to blame. It was supposed to do my oil change last weekend but a late shipping forced me to postpone my oil change to this weekend. Not the end of the world but it kinda sucks when you're expecting a part for a weekend you're off from work, then it says delayed and now you can't do it.

Even though Amazon's garage feature says this filter does not fit my car, it does. All the cross reference guides from various filter manufacturers show it crosses with the filters that Amazon's garage says do fit.I am using Mobil 1 oil in our Hyundai and this filter fits perfectly and pairs well with the oil. I change it based on the car's oil change reminder, typically every 7000 miles, so the extended mileage feature has not really been used, but it is as good a filter as any on the market and much better than Fram based on independent lab testing. I plan to continue using this filter as long as I own the car.

Great product
