I've been using Mobil 1 oil filters (along with Mobil 1 oil) in my 2006 Acura TL since it was new. I change oil and filter at about 7,000-7500 miles (according to the cars computer). I understand both filters use a synthetic filter material. I'm thinking of using the Pure One since they are about 1/2 the price of the Mobil 1. (My friends tell me I'm wasting money on the Mobil 1 filter at 7,000 miles.)Does the Pure One filter work as well as the Mobil 1? I'm somewhat new to all this science and value the experience of this forum. Thanks.
Mobil 1 vs Pure One Filters

Both are good filters but I like the K&N and Amsoil filters better.

I have the opinion that Mobil-1 traps more particles.
I also have the opinion that NAPA Golds are overall-better than Pure Ones. You can buy them online here at fleetfilter.com for around $4. Buy a handful to offset shipping costs.

I went to that site and didn't see any Napa Gold filters. It only listed a WIX #51356 oil fliter.

The info there is on the identical Wix - but when the website finalizes the purchase-transaction, you will get a notification that NAPA Golds will be shipped.
Are fleetfilter's prices that much better than a NAPA store?
If you buy in bulk to offset shipping then the answer is yes.
It depends if they're on sale or not. In general, their filters are around $6-7, but once in a great while, at least the store around here, has a sale where you can get them for the same price as fleetfilter but that's not very often, so I prefer to just use the site
If you send an email to fleet asking for a specific filter not listed they will email a price, rather quickly too!
Also what I did to offset prices was to buy for over 9 vehicles (friends & family) and just distribute the shipping equally. Just as a example a 42222 list price is $28, with shipping from fleet was $14-15....
