These new M1 filters are going to be fantastic from one-stop-shop type of people at Walmart.

Can stick one in an ST box and be out the door in a minute with a receipt saying $3.79.

Thread 'Microgard Select - No Love?'

Mar 6, 2023

I just changed my oil & filter on my 2001 LeSabre. This time, I went with the Microguard Select (Always been a WIX fan) and I must say... for $11 it's a very nice, well made filter.

It came plastic wrapped and what I liked was the larger inlet holes and "holes" instead of louvers. (Just personal preference). When installing, I liked how the filter made contact with the gasket and it snugged-down really nice. (I've had WIX filters sometimes hit the bottom of the can.) Nice thick gasket on these.

I'm not going to get into efficiency specs and all... but based on what I can see and feel...

Waaay too much glue.

All the PGI filters with similar construction look to use the same cream colored glue, and it's applied like this Mobil 1. It ensures a good seal, and that glue isn't going anywhere. Not a real issue.

It's ok, you're in a louver free zone.
These M1's are a good option now. $9 bucks or so? Funny, I don't use this part number but it was the first I picked up to see the new design couple weeks ago. Thanks for posting. Cut it when you're done.

Not really a deal at $9 for “Mobil 1 name” IMHO


WHEN I GOT 8 PENTIUS PXL 16’s for $37~ shipped to my door.

My Walmart wants $11.44 for the new Mobil 1.

Yes, my experience as well. It doesn't present as an oversight, more-so a deliberate part of construction.

As some have mentioned already, it isn't a great deal either, but there are those who like Mobil1 filters and won't bat an eye paying $11.

That center tube is worth 11 bucks to me

I’m not one of those. Especially when the PENTIUS may as well be a Mobil 1 filter.

Anything with holes

My base plate holes looking different

 

[ZeeOSix]

^^^ The base plate looks beefier than the typical PGI filter.
