Consensus between M1, Purolator, and CarQuest Premium Oil Filters?

TLDR: Which of the three filters are the best in August 2025?

Hey BITOG, I'm trying to decide between a new oil filter for future changes. I've been using Mobil1 M1-110A filters for how long, ignorant that other good options exist. I've been reading good things about the PurolatorOne filters (but have seen QC issues on them), and also been hearing great things about the CarQuest Premium filters - but I feel like I'm missing something.
Looking for a filter in the size of the 110A for a Honda K20, so my options are:

1) Stick with the M1-M110A filter
2) Get the PurolatorOne PL14610
3) CarQuest Premium 84356

Trying to see if I can get my used oil any cleaner compared to the M1-110A.

Will the Purolator or CarQuest Premium filters have any issues with flow/restriction when paired with the K20?

Which of these filters are the go-to in August 2025?

Carquest or the new revision M1.

Carquest or the new revision M1.

Good to know the new M1 is just as competitive!

The CQ Premium 84356 with current 15% off online order code YOUAAP, ~$7.50 for pick up, best bet here imo. Just tried code and worked for me. Wouldn't be concerned about any restriction issues.

I agree - I saw the code also and thought that was a pretty good deal!

The CarQuest and M1 (in August 2025) are likely the same filter. Premium Guard factory. Either would be my choice. The CarQuest will be cheaper.

My vote is for the CarQuest Premium because not only do I think they are great filters but also because that is what I have on deck for the next oil change on my daughter’s Honda Civic….and our Buick LaCrosse…….and my F-150.
