Review on πŸ” Mobil M1 110A High Performance Extended Filter by Noel Pilla

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Design changes are good for replacement parts

I have been buying Mobil 1 oil filters for many years. My son's car uses the same filter as my car. He noticed an oil leak around the oil filter rubber seal after 200 miles of use. The filter housing sank to the bottom and made metallic contact with the cylinder block. He removed it and compared it to the original Mobil 1 filter and found that the rubber gasket was narrower and thinner than the original design. In addition, the inner bores for the oil circuit are always smaller than with the original filter. In addition, the size of the filter housing has changed. I recently purchased two of these filters and returned them due to design changes. My son and I now use Honda factory filters but continue to use Mobil 1 synthetic motor oil. I contacted ExxonMobil twice to report the issue but received a call back.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
