Guy's a joke
New filter looks nicer. It's more like the OEM filter. Less potential failure points. Easier to recycle.
You mean its good that they removed metal end caps and metal center core tube? You think this is better ? It might be ok, but it looks like OEM filter, not worth $10
Why would this be necessary for most cartridge type filters? The filter media efficiency, fit, and integrity during service are what’s important.
Definitely agree on that. I much prefer the filters with no end caps, at least we haven't seen them separate like the metal ones do.
Most of other premium filters have some form of metal or plastic caps and some kind of reinforcement in the core. Its probably an overkill, but this is what people expect when they pay premium filter prices. It seems to be they just made it cheaper, but forgot to decrease the price. It looks like a lower end FRAM filter now. I would certainly not pay $10 for it.
Actually it looks like the VW/Mann filter for my Tiguan and the Hengst one I used on my BMW for years. Neither one of those have any end cap nor reinforcement. It also looks like the element inside OEM Toyota filters.
M1 has switched manufacturers and the design. Happens. If the box shows still shows the previous design then they should change that, for sure. The newest cartridge looks a lot like a standard Toyota OEM cartridge.
Appears from comments and follow up youtube, the maker has figured out or been told how to get same as previous M1 type cartridge, Toyota TRD or Amsoil. Likely same cartridge.
If I read correctly guy says he changes his oil and filter every 5k miles. At that oci/fci, the new one should be just fine. But I get, no need to pay more for M1 name.

Well, the guy is a joke sorry to say. Everything he said was his opinion not based on fact or experience.
First he had a tantrum and threw down his older style Mobil 1 filter which ruined it as you can see in the video. Secondly, how does he know the new style isn't good for 20K as Mobil 1 states.
Thirdly, He is now pushing Amsoil(nothing wrong with Amsoil at all) in his later video. I suspect he is an Amsoil dealer trying to discredit Mobil 1. Nothing against Amsoil dealers unless they are lying. JMVHO.
If you're basing your quality criteria on the same things as the doofus in that video, then yes.
It looks like your jumping the gun on this. Why not open the filter box and examine the filter at the store before buying. I always do before I purchase MC filters for my Fords.
Are now cheaply made?
The video is over a year old. It seems like they've been made like this for a while.
Also: Why so angry about this? I blame video games and rap music.
I used to buy m1c filters online in Walmart, they used to come with metal caps, nicely build. After this, I am going to Fram Ultra cartrige.
