Hi folks. New to the forum. Wanted to give my input on the Mobil 1 oil filter. Not impressed at all. Little background. Purchased a 2010 Mercury mountaineer 4.0 one owner a year and a half ago. Mint SUV with 55,000 miles. Complete service records from date of purchase till trade in. Always went to dealer for everything. Service oil and filter every 3,000 miles faithfully. Used motor craft 5W-30 synthetic blend and motor craft filter. At 58,000 miles
i serviced it using Mobil 1 5W-30 EP and a Mobil 1 oil filter. After 2,000 miles it used 1 QT of oil but never used any oil with the motor craft 5W-30 synthetic blend. So i drained out the oil and went with quaker state ultimate durability 5W-30 full synthetic and another Mobil 1 filter. So far no oil loss on the quaker state. About a week later i cut opened the first Mobil 1 filter (wish i did this before putting another one on) The ADBV was torn,the case was rusted (this filter was not subject to winter only summer). Last two pictures show the Superior Fram ultra and the Inferior Mobil 1. The fram looks like it has a full skirted ADBV that wont move when put together. I swapped out the Mobil filter and installed the Fram. Will be going on a 7,000-8,000 trip soon from Vermont to California up to Oregon then back to Vermont. Will service then and cut open the Fram and post the results
