Customer Reviews

This is a good filter, however it is identical to K;N's oil filters with two exceptions: K;N has a 1" nut at the end to ease removal without special tools, and the colour: K;N is white, Mobil 1 is black. These filters are made in the same factory, have identical factory "dot matrix ink" printing on them for their codes. The reviews for K;N filters are usually great, so there's no reason not to give this filter anything different. I have used this filter on my 2009 Subaru Forester, but I prefer the K;N's easy removal one inch nut for my car, as it's too difficult to get any other kind of tool in the tight spot where the filter's located.
So, if the nut is needed to help remove the filter, go with K;N, if not, it's your choice.

If you are do-it-yourselfer, K;N is most convenient (nut to remove, mark to rotate the last 3/4 turn). If you are a racing enthusiast, Mobil can withstand the max pressure (615 psi, Bosch 500 psi). If you are interested in changing filter as late as possible, Bosch-Distance-Plus (not other models!) holds the max contaminants (29.1g, Mobil - 28g very close). If you want max engine protection, Bosch is 99.9% efficient (Mobil 99.2% - very, very close).
Some reviewer has said that Mobil filters are K;N filters on the inside. I disagree. Peeking inside the filter hole (you can see only the inner drum and hint of filter material) cannot tell an "expert" how the filter is constructed on the inside. Why does K;N not declare their data (as Mobil and Bosch Distance-Plus-only do?) People who are at the top always boldly publish their data, and do not depend on hype.
Yes, previous version of Mobil filters had flow problems. That has been long corrected.
