Mobil 1 M1-205A EXTENDED PERFORMANCE filter cut open

[53' Stude]

Good morning BITOGERS. Got this filter while back at Wal Mart on clearance for $4. Tried finding something to use and offering it for FREE here and no takers.

Construction looks good to me. Louvers even look good. Enjoy the photos.

Filter claim

Champion Labs filter & appears to be the same as Champ XL's along with the 20k claim. It was worth the cut... Thanks!

I think it would be awesome if you could do a flashlight test to see if the leaf spring seals completely against the filter. Totally your call though.

I did look down through there after popping anti siphon valve out. No light shined thru. Filter burned out already and in my scrap metal box& bin

That's good to hear.

I like the pleat spacing, metal caps, and centre tube. Not a fan of the leaf spring with integrated bypass. This particular one may be fine, but the design seems susceptible to leaks if there are QC issues. The media looks to be plain old cellulose, so I'm skeptical of the "high efficiency" claim.

Around here, these Mobil filters cost 50% more than a FRAM Ultra. It's a decent filter overall, but a terrible value.

Filter design is fine. Designed for fords with ZETEC engine. I ran one of these on my old Camry and it did fine ober 11k. I like champ labs/first brands bypass myself. It has a antinsiphon valve as well.

Could be a blend. What's their "high efficiency" claim in xx% @ yy microns?

I'm used to the synthetic blends from Purolator and some others brands having a sparkly appearance from glass fiber in the blend, but Mobil does claim that it's a synthetic blend. Claimed efficiency is 99% at 30 micron.

Silicone or natural anti drainback valve? Spring or stamp steel?

Did you even look at the cut and post?!

Silicone adbv not photographed. Bypass valve is in cut and post also

This is what folks call the bypass valve
