M1 103A Oil Filter Cut Open

[funflyer]

This one was run on my Rav4 Hybrid for 5000 miles along with M1 0W-16 AFE. Not much to say about it other than it's another well made filter.

Very clean, very nice. I would run that filter in your application for 2-4x that interval but not more than 2 years.

W.C.W. opened a used MOBIL1 M1-110A today ( 6/26/26 ) and was made in Vietnam . Very likely a Premium Guard .

Looks like PREMIUM GUARD is reopening the CHAMPION LABS plant in Albion , Illinois and bringing jobs back . Article also mentions FRAM .

It has been discussed here many times that Highland Warren is involved with the new Mobil 1 filters, not Premium Guard. While they may be made at the same overseas factory, different companies are involved post-production.
