Yes, I am aware. I only use OEM filters. Try to catch them on bulk sale online. As for the oil, it's whatever synthetic bulk sale also. I'm not throwin dino oil into them. Usually name brand stuff, Pennzoil, Mobil 1, Quaker State, Valvoline, etc. That's just me. Sorry, we also don't do much distance driving anyway. Work is 10-12 mi away one way, then just you're supermarkets, doctor appt's, pharmacies. Nothing long daily distance stuff.

It's all dino oil. A big scam.
You may be 100 percent correct. It comes out of the crankcase black as can be @ 3k
At my AAP with my work account. I plus the manager there I’ve known for 21 years. Nice having true friends and I buy a lot from this store. I don’t buy anything from Rock Auto.
Agree. Seems like most companies are going away from them. I believe most of the Napa gold filters are premium guard or someone else now too.
Only choice of oil filter if you shop at Walmart, beside lexus TOYOTA oil filter lol.

I know that on the M1 cases of 6 filters, they are labeled as made in Vietnam, but how do you tell if the filter is made in Vietnam just from the individual box and filter case itself?
Lucky for me I snagged a M1-209(should cross to a PH 3600 ) yesterday at AAP closer to home for $6~ my price. Premium Guard made too

As far as a filter with a better rating? I think the Fram Synthetic Endurance is rated at 99% at greater than 20 microns. So equal efficiency on smaller particles.
Highline Warren says 99%@20 by phone. Waiting for boxes to update. Still the old M+H numbers currently.
They did say that boxes will be updated soon?
I thought color change from green to gold was the updated box?
I wasn’t the one that called. But I did see the old M+H version in the gold boxes.

If Mobil did their testing, which I am pretty sure they did, it should be a good filter. They selected a black base gasket, which is probably not silicone. Maybe to not change too much for no reason, when the black ones were not a problem.
Another reason for them to switch is price. MH may not be able to make filters for this price and Mobil gets the desired profit margin. Then there is a distributor taking a cut. Asian companies will try to comply more to get the business.

I'm going to call Highline Warren tomorrow and see what they say about that - I'll ask if the boxes are old info or not. As you know, when I called Highline Warren a while back the guy put me on hold, went to get more info and came back and said the new Mobil 1 was 99% @ 20u. Need to see it that's the same answer now.
