Anyone try this oil filter yet?

[afa]

Picked up a M1-209 that's been recommended here in this site. On my way back home I stopped by Walmart and saw these filters on the shelves. Mobil 1™ Extended Performance Oil Filters | Mobil™ Motor Oils

Anyone use the M1-209A filter yet?

 

[Keowee]

Thats a Chrysler Dodge Ford number.

M1-102 and M1-102A are the Toyota filter numbers.

 

[planomateo]

Yup, search and you'll see that many use the m1-209 to get more filter surface area.

I'm wondering if the M1-209A is better than the M1-209. Maybe the filtering material is better since the M1-209A is supposed to go for a full year.

I've run the M1-209 until now, my next change I'm going with the M1-102A as it's rated for 20k miles - which tells me the larger filter is unnecessary. But I do a BlackStone Labs oil report at every change (roughly 13k miles this time) so I'll let you know how the M1-102A does when I finally take it off in about nine months...

Ah, I see what you're saying!

This is good.

I'm about to put one of these on

I have been pairing these (M1-209) with the Extended Performance Mobil 1 5W-30 for a couple of years with no issues. I buy a 2-pack on Amazon.

Anything over $6 is to much for a oil filter unless you're going 15-20k between oil changes.
Here is what I use, BOGO at my local store, regular price at that store is $7.
I go 5k between oil changes.

Rolocado and others- any thoughts on the M1-209A? I've been using the M1-209, and when I ordered my latest batch off of Amazon the seller sent me the A model instead of the regular model. I'm a little ticked because I ordered the regular model and the seller decided to send me something different. Maybe the A model is better, or maybe the seller gets the A model cheaper.

I JUST put one on our Gx470 - like an hour ago. No issues so far!!!!

The “xxx-A” is Synthetic filter media- which gives it the EP rating. I use the 209A. The difference between the 102 and the 209 size is a little more oil and a little more filter surface area. If you change your oil at 5-6k intervals its prob unecessary. If you like to go 10k+ The EP filters are a good option. Also the WIX XP are another option- basically the same as the M1 EP = synthetic filter media

 

[leveeguy]

I used the m1-209a several times, figuring more media should mean more filtering. I have not noticed any negative effects or anything different really other than I may be able to add 2-4 more ounces of oil than before.

NAPA go on sale for half price twice a year...around here, that's in February and October.

Getting the longer filter version (e.g. M1-209 or the Napa Gold / Wix equivalent) gets you not only more filter area, but something to grab with the oil filter strap wrench.

We use the cheap NAPA oil filters on our vans at work, and we get 300,000 miles out of our vans.
PM's are scheduled for 4500 miles but regularly get done in the 5-6k range.

Barely broken in!

Not these vans, these vans are piles of worn out sh!t by then, but they still run. The sludge keeps them from burning oil. Lol

That video just makes me want to keep using the Toyota filter.
