Mobil 1 EP Oil Filters

[Filter guy]

They wouldn't say it if they didn't have testing to back it up.

This also included millions of miles of field testing to justify the increased life claims.

The synthetic fibers in Mobil 1 Extended Performance Oil Filters yield the following key benefits:

A much more efficient filter, removing more particles per pass through the filter than conventional filter media.
Less resistance to oil flow, reducing the potential for the filter to restrict the flow of oil to your engine.
A larger surface area to trap more contaminant particles, allowing the longer service intervals.

Is this true that they have a better flow rate? To me that would be a good reason to switch to them. How many miles will they hold up to?

A lot of filters have synthetic fibers. Even Supertech $2 filters have synthetic fibers.

Clyde65, don't forget that flow is a red herring--your oil pump is a constant volume pump, meaning it'll push the same amount of oil through your filter regardless of how "restrictive" your filter media is. Also, folks here have actually never been able to measure even a 1 PSI drop across the filters with a reputation for being restrictive.
