Mobil 1 clean myth busted?

Purolator pleat spacing is sure a mixed bag. I am currently using PL20195 in place of PL10241 and was hoping to see better construction. I have had multiple PL10241's that appear to have their media compressed (end to end) during manufacturing such that the pleats are wavy, collapsed, and...

Interesting that they applied good large filter design to a small filter. This sacrifices too much media IMO.

Checking the current PDS for SN 0W20 QSUD and PP they look quite different, though the QS is dated two years older. Note the Pour Point and Noack Volatility. QSUD PDS PP PDS

Originally Posted By: oldhp Oil filters are like head bolts. If you don't use the proper lube they won't torque (tighten) up right. I would bet the previous oil changer just spun the oil filter on with no lubed gasket and it felt like it was tight, when it wasn't. ^agree, most likely cause.

Has anyone here compared the sound level with Honda oil? It seems that the sound is from the cams and rockers until the valves heat up and the gap closes. A side effect of not having hydraulic lash adjusters. If this is the case, thicker oil may help quiet the sound, but what is the downside...

I am buying all the PU 5W20 I can find. Not only the best value at these prices/rebates but best oil on the shelves, far better additives and base stock than M1 0W20. VOA Mobil 1 0W20 VOA PU 5W20

I believe there is some logic to removing the end caps. May allow pleats/folds to flex versus stress at the end caps. I am seeing the beginning of media failure at the end caps of P1 filters at 8-9k OCI's. The best feature on cartridge type is you can see the starting and ending quality without...

Something extreme destroyed this filter, maybe excess long OCI or moisture. Really is meaningless without the OCI length. I used FRAM in the 80's an 90's at 3-4K OCI's, cut many open, and never had any look distorted. Point is every filter has a wear out time. I am finding some...

I wish I could say M1 kept my GM ShortStar rings clean with OLM OCIs, problem at 50k miles.

Does the small moly number concern anyone?
