That is my go to oil filter if I want feel fancy . And now my go to every day 5k-6month oil filter is STP blue from auto zone
I'm not so interested in the hype or the new packaging. What's the New efficiency at 20 microns?

They're everywhere. Also, it's easy to check if these are at your local store. Just check if it has the clear plastic seal or not. The old M+H made filters did not have the seal. Also, the new ones will either say Made in Korea or Made in Vietnam.

I've bought two of these so far, but different model numbers for different engines. Both were made in Vietnam.
I'll be sticking with these for the foreseeable future.

@ZeeOSix called Highline Warren and was told 99%@20. It appears Mobil hasn’t updated the website or boxes showing the old M+H specs.
This information should be printed on every Manufactures box!
Pretty much just Premium Guard XL’s. Same factory it looks like. Just grab a case off RockAuto for $4-$5 each.
It's too bad we don't see actual ISO testing. I'll believe it when I see it.
That would certainly be nice. Hopefully they can get everything updated.It's too bad we don't see actual ISO testing. I'll believe it when I see it.
Unfortunately we’re at an age where we get 99% advertised with nothing else….
The Mobil filter website never showed a specific efficiency for their filters, and still doesn't. Walmart just says "Removes over 99% of contaminants". Link below of a Mobil filter on Amazon's website that shows the new filter version photos - the can has an unpainted base seam. I played with the photo exposure and can see holes in the center tube, so it's the new version. The box does say 99% @ 30 microns, so maybe that's what it really is and the guy I talked to at Highline Warren gave me misinformation.
Or maybe Mobil is still using old boxes like Fram did when the Ultra design was changed. Might have to call Highline Warren again and see what they say now.Walmart still shows the old M+H photos for the M1-110A filter (base seam is painted black, not bare metal), so things are still in flux trying to catch-up with the filter update.

Photo on Amazon tweaked to see the center tube, which has holes and not louvers.

The box says 99% particles greater than 30 microns.
Garbage I wouldn't have on my vehicle!
Possible it's still the old boxes used for the M+H filters. I'm going to call Highline Warren again (have to be Monday) and see what they say now.
