I need to decide between M1-110 and XG7317 tomorrow.
I have used M1 -110 for last 8 years with only once getting a defective filter where filter leaked oil after 2 months..leak was not from the joint as mechanic said it was tight .. just the filter was defective.. otherwise happy customer . last year runnng the filter for full year but before that changed every 6 months .. going forward it is yearly oci 10000kms
M1-110 is $18
XG7317 is $15 but getting it for $13 on deal tomorrow...
what you guys say .. stick to M1 for yearly oci or ditch it for XG7317
oil is M1 Extended Performance 0w20
Your gaining nothing from the M1 except for a slightly thicker can (which 99.9% of the time is not an issue).
Fram has better flow, filtration and lower cost.
Sounds like an easy choice to me.
If your getting it for your Honda, look at the XG3593a, that should be the correct filter for Honda (it is bigger than the 7317).
A XG9688 is also almost exactly the same size as the 3593a, but tends to be more expensive (is the Hyundai filter).
