Champ XL 820 vs Mobil 210A

[JWC86]

Looking to stock up on filters on my next Rock Auto Order.
Going on my Ford 7.3L Gas

I've narrowed it down to the Champ XL(what I'm currently using) or maybe the Mobil 210A.

Open to other suggestions as well.

Thanks!

Carquest premium or microgard select.

Two things to consider micron efficiency and price. It is very easy to beat the Mobil 1 210A pricing and several other companies match or beat the Mobil efficiency at 20 microns.

If ordering from Rockauto you’ll want to buy filters under “various manufacturers”. You’ll see a PG EX part number indicating Premium Guard Extended Life.

Hard to beat the Champ XL especially when considering price.

Are the bypass springs wavy and seal poorly like the rest of the Champ made filters?

The the new Mobil 1 filters (not the ones made by M+H) use a steel coil spring, not a stamped leaf spring. So nothing to worry about there.

My response, as quoted, was regarding Champ XL filters.

Then yes, at this point it seems any Champ Labs made filter with a leaf spring may have ruffles.
