Does anybody know if there is a minumum requirement as far as filtration at what microns in the auto industry? Does it depend on the manufacturer of the vehicle? Or are oil filter manufacturers just doing their own thing?
Good Question, I don't have an answer, but I would think the OEM brand oil filters are made to the manufactures specs. for their own vehicles that they go on. I also think the other oil filters made are just like any other aftermarket item, some are made better than others, which is a good thing because we get to choose a better product. OEM oil filters are good but for example, (just talking oil filters) if you take ACDelco or a Motorcraft both OEM Items there are better oil filters out there. Now at the same time If you take OEM parts in general, usually better than most aftermarket parts. JMHO. I'll pin your question so it sits on top maybe someone will chime in.
I've been using K&N lately in 3 of my cars. Wifes Lexus is the only one i don't touch, dealer only.
@Fred Wills exactly. And they’re not putting the good mechanics on oil changes either. Also, he doesn’t care about taking time to do it exactly right (prefill oil filter when possible etc). All about pumping out more cars.
@Fred Wills I top my oil off with water and it runs fine.. Toyotas are indestructible
@Fred Wills my point exactly..
For me considering I do changes approx 5- 5,500miles I would be comfortable using ST, even though it has slightly less filter media, and at half the price of the M1 filter it’s a good value.
Thanks for a great comparison.
Agreed. As long as they are still filtering when you change them it doesnt really matter. It might matter if I drove a truck with heavy duty use
dont got that long, Just use ST filters and super tech regular non synthetic oil. Going more than 3 k and using synthetic will bring oil burning issues .
I used Mobil 1 for more than 30 years,... I now use Super Tech Oil & Filter 😁
The best oil for your car is new clean oil so the Super Tech brand affords me to change it more often.
The Super Tech Oil was easily as good as Mobil 1 in one test I saw but had superior cold weather viscosity which is important here in Pennsylvania.
Thanks for Sharing!
Warren Oil Company in West Memphis is the largest independently owned oil refinery in North America and makes Super tech oils, and many if not most of the independent label brands available at your parts store.
@@hotrodray6802
Yep, Companies just order the Oil they want ;)
Frequent oil changes are far more important than the quality of oil and filter. Even the best oil and filter won't work well if you never change them, and you can totally get away with crappy oil and filters if you change them regularly.
ST seems to be 90% of the Mobil 1 for half the price, so it's my choice.
Nicely done. Given regular oil changes, seems foolish to pay double for a filter that is NOT twice as good. I'm going with the ST. Thanks for the review!
Thank You! and
You're Welcome!
I've been using super tech synthetic oil & filters for years . Never any issues
Agreed 👍
Seems foolish given regular oil changes are far enough apart to not spend a little more on a reliable quality oil filter. I use a mobil 1 filter a lot of the time, and it never sees more than 4500 miles. I just don't trust walmart labeled goods..
I give the edge to Mobil 1 but the Supertech looks very good for the price and would not hesitate to use it.
I wouldn’t go 20,000 miles without changing engine oil or filter, 3,000 miles on conventional oil and 5 to 6,000 miles on full synthetic oil. If you change your oil regularly, it doesn’t matter what oil filter you use, they mostly contain a paper element that filters out microscopic particles. I usually get a WIX or Napa Gold which is a WIX too.
Mobile1 extended synthetic oil and filter 15k miles oil change on my 4runner twice, other times 10k. Not a problem for Mobil1. But I won't go 20k either. I recommend adding Liqui Moly Seratec and MoS2 anti friction
I go about 8-10k on full synthetic. I feel like going any further is risking an expensive job later just to save a few bucks now.
Same here, I've used all kinds of different brands of oil filters and store brand oil. I've never had any problems and I have the engine everyone talks shit about the 5.4 3 valve Triton. Almost 300K never had any internal problems that would root to lubrication issues.
I used supertech oil and filters on my last car and it went 280000 miles and was in perfect running shape when I sold it. Inside was clean and carbon free also
Thanks for sharing
I’d use the 50% cheaper ST filter for 3k mile conventional oil changes & use the m1 filter for longer 5k-10k mile oil changes using full syn oil.
i use Mobile 1 and still use conventional oil and still change every 5k miles ....
What a surprise I had when I went at my Canadian Tire store to buy a Motomaster OE Plus 7317 (rated for 24 000 km) and the manufacturer (Champ labs) did like Fram and decided to downgrade the silicone ADBV for a nitrile one. For a 11$ CAD oil filter I said no way and I just bought a Valvoline VO-106 at my Canac store for 3.50$, exact same thing but shorter in length. If they claimed 24 000 km for a oil filter with a nitrile rubber ADBV, so the valvoline should do it too. Anyway I just change my oil once a year, 8-10 000 km/year. Sorry for my english.
Thanks Joel,
Your English is fine.👍
once a year is too long, even for synthetic. The oil pan holds in condensation, which ruins the oil. Oil change should be every 6 months, or 8 months max, even if you only drive 5k miles or 8000 km.
Thanks. I have been using the Mobil on my car and truck for years.
I've used the Supertech ones for 6month or 5000 miles oil changes. I now use a Fram Ultra and keep it on for 2 oil changes.
Hey, Stan Thanks for sharing,
I'd like to open up one of the Ultras after a year, I'll reimburse you for the shipping. If you are interested let me know, I think it would make for a good video.
Thanks!
Fram has always had trash filters IMO. I will NEVER use them. I've seen too many motors knocking specifically from Fram. Good luck on that motor you have LOL.
Been using this ST filter over the M1 for about a year now and no problems. As far as filtration they are about equal. Maybe if u do really long service intervals the M1 might have a slight edge. But, the ST works well. I did have one that had a metal shaving where they cut the threads but I always check every filter i use prior to installing to make sure its free of any debris
Good advice!👍
I've been running mobil 1 oil and mostly M1 filters for a couple of decades (7000 mile changes), with no issues. Price has been creeping up on those mobil filters. In a pinch, last time I used a ST for wife's car, so glad to see this comparison. I now feel comfortable with either filter. Thanks for the comparison
Your Welcome, Thanks for sharing!
Honestly it's been creeping up on all the filters these last 5 years. I remember the top of the line Fram XG filters were under $5, now they're closer to $10.
And before anyone says anything, yes I used Fram filters (and still do if the ST isn't available), so sue me. No my car didn't blow up and the engine was clean as a whistle when I took it apart.
@@davidwang1326 about as clean as the engine in my car
Supertech. I like the base plate and the inner tube for better oil flow and less restriction.
Thanks. I’m going to install the mp7317 on my mother’s van this month. Glad to know what’s inside of it now, thanks to this video.
👍
I trust the Mobil 1 more but the ST has better flow. More inlet holes and nylon cage. As long as you don't go over 6K and use quality oil, either seems good.
Agree!
The core and holes have nothing to do with flow. The media does though.
Like the great Mr. Scotty Kilmer said, its better to pay a $13.00 oil filter (Mobil One) than an expensive motor or transmission repair because you chose value or quality.
Still doing 3k oil changes even on film synthetic. Lots of city driving and winter driving constitutes severe use and requires more frequent service. Cheaper filters would likely be fine. I typically run a wix or fram filter.
Thanks for sharing
Howdy Pete
Thanks again buddy for your insight and videos! I’d probably go with the ST filter, just from a price standpoint. Keep up the good work Sir!
Have a good weekend and stay safe !!
Hi Steven,
Thanks and have a good weekend also!😊
Nice close up on the boxes, like I am shopping and reading the specs!
The Supertech look like a Ac Delco, most likely made by the same factory.
Thanks, Steve
The Supertechs are made by Champ which also makes the ACDelco oil filters.
I’m not sure why I’m watching this but this is amazing. I just got 8qt of oil for my Porsche at Walmart and the filter(Amazon) . Total cost for me $100 , the oil change at the dealer is $520. Do the math
Do your own oil changes regularly and save cost. Never understood the need for big branded parts. Unless you're tracking your car, it's all for show and a waste. Placebo effect is real with most people.
I can get my oil changed faster and cheaper than do it yourself. You can run all over the place and waste your time changing your oil as I can be done with it in 10 minutes while you still burning gas running around getting your products.
You can't just say things and make them true
@JG That's an entirely different issue with quality control. Being cheap or expensive has nothing to do with that.
We have a car wash that also does oil changes. Oil change all in for $26
If you value your vehicle, quality matters. The mobile oil filter is $11 he said. An engine will run you $7,000 and up. I saw another video comparing Fram. Complete garbage.
Either filter is a good choice. If you change your oil every 5K, like you should... either will do just fine with no issues.
Agree!
Why not use a filter with a much tighter micron rating that makes the oil cleaner? 30 Is far too loose for me.
@@GT-mn3bx
Yup, its why Mr. Project Farm pivked Mobil One as the number one oil filter.
People are going to ruin their vehicles and I can already hear the tower at their house to come pick it up!
Great comparison! Hope you have a nice weekend! 😊
Thanks Ella,
Have a Good weekend also!😊
@@WhipCityWrencher Thanks! 😊
I like to figure out the thread pitch and size of the sealing surface. Then find the bigger filter that fits my application.
For example, on GMs, instead of 3387 I’ll run a 3980
Thanks Pete! Both filters are serviceable. I really like the number of inlet holes on the ST filter. Reminds me of the inlet holes on the Fram Titanium filters.
A filter could have 50 holes.
Its the total cu. inches of the holes that matter to the flow rate. It may be filtering the oil but if the flow is restricted then your enging is no receiving the proper amount of oil it needs. Only a flow test of a filter can determine which filter is best.
Had a super tech on my car that was terrible to remove as the "O" ring that seals against the engine swelled up badly. That was years ago, don't know how they are today. Different I hope. Will try them again. Thanks
I would use both of the products with no issues and no worries. For general everyday use, filter brand really doesn't matter these days but they are exceptions.
@David Wang Extended oil changes and special applications I would move up to a better quality filter.
Just based off of cost I would go ST but If I had the choice wouldn’t go either cause there are better filters for around the same cost of the m1 filter and they filter smaller microns 🤷🏻♂️ like the fram ultra 🤷🏻♂️
I agree but have you seen the tiny holes on center core on those ultras? They are tiny and I think they should have more holes.
Quality and money, you can't beat Supertech , for all products including motor oil
For the money I would go with the Super Tech.
Here at our family shop we use the Syntec Walmart basic filters on our basic oil change & The 20,000 Syntec filter on our full synthetic service..👍
Supetech was a super deal. If you change your oil every 3,000 miles it will do the job !
Both seem good. I would go with the Supertech one. Good comparison! TFS Pete. Have a super weekend! Merri :)
Thanks Merri,
Have a Geat weekend also!😊
Hard to believe but for the $ i would go with the super tech ! and it has the same micron rating for 1/2 the price !
Supertech are made by Champion, very solid filter for the money! For oil the Supertech is the same Warren Distributing as the Amazon Basics and Costco Kirkland,, not bad at all, but for only $1.50 more a jug, the Quaker State full synthetic has been tested among the best at any price, not a bad $29 oil change in 2023!
I agree,
Thanks for Sharing!👍
Been a Mobil 1 fan since day 1
Great job Pete
Thank You!
Using Mobil1 for years.
i use mobile 1 always but the super tech looks to be a better flowing filter
SuperTech for the win. Mobil 1 is way overpriced for an oil filter.
I agree , especially if you only do shorter oil change intervals.
@@Derek8487 Yep. 20,000 miles on an oil change is a joke.
You 'might' get you money's worth if you ran the M1 15-20k miles.
All of my cars are old (newest one is a 2004, Camry, plus two 1997 Corollas and a 1966 F100). I switched from dino to synthetic a number of years back on the Toyotas and have been using mostly Mobil One filters ever since. Still l change oil at around 5K miles and I don't stress out much if I have to buy a different brand filter. After all, I used the pathetic Frams for about 40 years with no problems.
G"day Whip.For the money I would go the super tech all day long.The Mobil base plate is probably overkill.I do prefer the metal core but I am coming around to the plastic core.I wish the super tech filters were available downunder.I would have to spend around $25.00 Aust. dollars to get anything close to that quality.Cheers
Hi Luke,
Thanks for Sharing!
Cheers!👍
I will take the super tech, clear winner IMO for almost half the cost. Thanks whip!🙌
I'm surprised they still sell Supertech filters, because I don't think they have them at my local Wal Mart anymore. I know for a fact that they don't carry the Supertech Wiper blades, cuz I was just there buying some the only day. They didn't sell well enough for $5-6, when the Michelin blades were $7-8. I don't mind spending $10 for a filter, cuz I don't change my oil for like 10-12K miles. It's easy, but it's a pain at the same time for a lowered vehicle, then the mess it makes, then having to drop the oil off. I like to keep that a once a year kinda thing.
I don't know about the wipers but my Walmart has the Supertech oil filters.
Insignificant differences.. i would go with super tech.. The Mobil one could possibly last a little longer due to its larger media capacity so if you are into long oil change intervals the Mobil one is better choice.
But flow restriction would cause engine too work harher
Not if you change your oil 3-4000 miles .Would one rather wear down your engine with contaminates or pay a tiny fraction more in fuel??
The Mobil Extended M1-111 used to be 20 Micron at 99% about 12 years ago. They were the same exact filter as the Bosch Premium and same ratings. I stick with filters in the 99% at 20-25 range.
What filter do you use? And which one are 20 microns rated
Yes ST price and flow holes and I never go over 5K miles between changes so a little less media doesn't bother me.
I used this mobile1 filter and switched to this supertech. ST seems like a winner especially for the cost difference. I should have kept my M1 filter and sent it in to you for comparison as i used it for 1 year at $15kish miles too
Hi Brad,
Oh ya that would have been a good one. Well if you ever want to send me a used filter like that here's my email.
Poker4me007@gmail.com
Both are made by Champion, just different specs. Knowing how they are made I would go for the SuperTec due to the good flow ratio. The mediums are pretty much the same, it´s the inner core that makes the SuperTec better, less hinderance for oil flow, the Mobil1 will have more oil going through the By-Pass.
Mobil made by Mann and Hummel, Supertech made by Champ Labs.
Thanks!
@@WhipCityWrencher just google and it says Champion Labs for both.
Close call.
I suppose the Mobil one is better more media. There's pros and cons to both. Price is negligeble what's $5 difference for an entire oil change.
I'd say the Mobil One eeks it out.
Good review 👍
Thanks, drum!
Must be “Oil Filter Friday”
Very informative video !
Thanks, Bill!
I started doing my own oil changes and this supertech has me won! I have used Fram Endurance and Mobile 1. But this supertech looks the Bizz!
Thanks for your feedback👍
Now I know what the new mobil1 oil filter looks like 😁
Thank you!
You're Welcome!
i been using super tech for years. no problems/complaints. shell thickness is important to me. My stroker runs 60 psi. don't want a blowout. whichever one you use, change it more often than the recommended interval. me 3000 to 3500 miles on synthetic. concentrate more on the interval and not the brand of oil. Get the latest API spec you can find. Like SN. Get highest zinc content you can find too.happy travels
I use ST oil in all the cars I do oil changes on (friends & family) without any issues.
I'll start to use ST filters as well for them. I prefer AcDelco filters for my GM truck
Thanks for sharing!
Nice detailed review. Ty
Thanks for watching!
Both good. ST would be my pick. Was scrolling Amazon & came across all kinds of less known filter brands. I wonder if they’re any good. Some a really cheap. Same with rock auto.
I use K&N and change oil every 4000 miles as recommended by factory. I do put a magnet on the filter.
unless you are pouring dirt inside engine or you have unfiltered air entering intake, the oil filter mostly catches plastic particles from varnish (oil breakdown with fuel combustion waste) washed off areas like underside of pistons. If your engine is making metal past the initial wear in the first 200 miles then no oil filter is ever going to help you. If the filter catches smaller particles then it is more restrictive and more oil bypasses and goes unfiltered for another trip around engine. There is still nothing that beats oil changes to get crap out of engine that increases wear. save money on filter and don't spend extra on ultra long life oil, just change it.
Thanks for sharing!
The most important thing is to change your oil in regular intervals. Unless you are driving under extreme conditions or waiting an extremely long time between oil changes, either filter will be fine. People spend way too much on high end oil and filters, that really doesn’t gain them anything.
@David Wang Most oils and filters sold today (including brands like Walmart Supertech) are of high enough quality to last at least between 7500 and 10000 miles. Some are even guaranteed to last up to 20,000 miles. I don’t know of any engine that will last forever, and many will fail in spite of regular oil changes, regardless what oil or filer you use.
I think it would be interesting to buy the same filter at different locations and compare them like you do. It might be that companies have different manufacturers make the same filter (same part number, etc).
I kinda doubt it, you may get newer or older filters though.
@@WhipCityWrencher I do know that the K&N filters at Walmart and the ones you buy at an auto parts store are two very different filters. Same with the Fram at Walmart and Advance. Different part numbers, filters look and feel different as well. Definitely would make for an interesting video. Keep up the good work!
From an operational standpoint, the only difference is price. Either would work the same.
Ive had good results with both but for the money supertech wins
Great video! Do you think you can compare M1 to M1 filters? My car takes the M1-108A and I’ve seen older videos of that filter and it doesn’t come with a metal seam, or a bypass valve built into the end cap. Where as here with the M1-110A there’s a metal seam and a built in bypass valve on end cap. Would love to see if a new (2022) M1-108A also comes with those features or if all the M1s have any inconsistencies. Thanks!
Thanks!
I put it on my to-do list.
@ Sixty Minutes
I noticed a few years back the Mobil1 oil filters changed. They were a different color before the change and now most of them are all black. Not sure if they switched who manufactured the oil filters or what. And quite a few of the older filters are not being made now.
I look at the size and shape of the outer inlet holes. There are several variations depending the production run.
Their total area should be at least equal to the outlet pipe going into the engine.
At higher rpms some engines are pumping several GALLONS of oil per MINUTE through those little holes.
I would say the ST is the better choice in this case. With those ST filters some are made better than others depending on the part number. I don't think I'd ever use a M1 filter. Not that they're bad but it's a 'mid' range filter (despite being touted as Premium). Like buying 89 gas instead of 87 or 93. In the case of the M1, there are cheaper filters that will do just as good a job, and if you really want a top end filter just get one of the 'real' performers like a Boss something along those lines. I would always look at the media of a filter first then the other details. Both of these are the same, except for area. As long as it's within reason, 3k-5k, the ST is fine.
Thanks for the feedback, Vince!
@@WhipCityWrencher Those M1 filters are just Bosch 'plus' filters. The Bosch are cheaper if you want that kind of a filter. Paying for the M1 name.
Excellent review 👍
Thank You!
Glad you liked the video!
Super tech the winner bc it is less filter however it's rated for 20K miles and you shouldn't go more then 7K mile between changes anyhow and you can't beat the price neither
I think the quality of the media and metal is the deciding factor here. That's clearly Mobil. ST is cheaper because there's just not as much of it.
Supertech FTW. It looks to have superior flow properties.
HI Robert,
Thanks for your feedback!
If both media is 30 micron, the flow is the same. The holes and center tube flow more than the mount does.
@@GT-mn3bx Ahhhh, someone who actually gets it. 👍 No filter can 'flow' more than the inner diameter area of the engine block mounting stud. Both these filters flow just fine.
Some thoughts: wonder what the pressure drop is at its rated flow? And what pressure does the bypass valve pop open? Good review!
stole my question ..
Different cars Open at different pressures. I think my Toyota is supposed to open at eight psi.
This is why I'm sticking with supertec since day one. Cheap and effective!
I'll still stay with Mobil 1. Trust that alot more. Build quality was also more superior.
With the same efficiency rating, Supertech all the way. If the price was within a buck, I'd probably go with the M1 because of the added media. But the distance/time I'd go with it wouldn't stress either one of them.
The Mobil 1 filter costs like three times more
Thx for this great video
You're Very Welcome👍
Thanks!
Another great video! I think Supertech is the winner.
Hi Bob,
Thanks!
I’ll take the supertech any day cheaper and filters the same efficiency, like blue silicone valve, great flow.
So in your experience, does the glued seam hold up well? That would be my only concern. Thanks.
I've only come across a couple of filters with lousy glued seams. The glued seam on this Supertech oil filter was fine.
@@WhipCityWrencher thank you sir.
Considering price, is it better to change the Supertech every oil change and Mobil every other change? Is the Mobil twice as good? I change oil every 5,000 miles and the Supertech might make more (cents). Anyway, it seems that a filter needs to be changed more frequently than 20k miles.
Hi H Farms,
Thanks for your feedback!
Even if it could handle it, I wouldn't run any oil filter for 20k miles.
Also, I have a Honda OEM filter that is in my car, and I also have a Purolator Boss that I will send you once I change my oil.
Do you have a PO Box that I can send these used oil filters to? Thank you!
No, I dont.
Send me an email and I'll give to my address. Put used oil filter in the title. Thanks!
My email: Poker4me007@gmail.com
Mobile in the past had a nice thick can, they must have changed them lately.
American industry makes very good products. These filters are very good and will protect an engine for the oil change duration. Evidently one filter is somewhat better than another, our industries are providing our consumers with some very good choices in filters.
Same efficiency rating, similar synthetic blend media, M1 $11.34 vs $5.90 for ST/MP, not a tough call for me, MP7317 FTW. For 5-10k mile interval the ST just fine, even with less media. Maybe if planning on running filter multiple oci's or to 20k mi., M1 might be better. Still MP7317 a much better value for up to10k mile oci. For $5.90 off the WM shelf, excellent. Thanks for vid. 👍
You're Welcome, faxmen09.
Is there a chart to break down the date codes? I wonder if like oil, do filters have to meet certain standards?
Here's where you can learn how to decipher some of the date codes. bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/oil-filter-date-decoding-thread.351643/
Looks like the Supertech is a quality unit. Wouldn't let either filter go 20k miles
A quality media can definitely handle a nice, CLEAN, properly running engine for 20,000 miles with room to spare.
Have you ever cut open your used oil filters? There isn’t much carbon & soot in the pleats after a typical 5,000 miles run.
@@I_know_what_im_talking_about I'm not doubting an oil filter can last much longer than the oil change interval, but why risk a 4-5 figure engine when a new filter is $5-10?
@@tokuzumi1 - you’re not risking anything if the filter is rated for 20k by the people who designed and produced it. 👍🏼
A slightly loaded up filter will filter stuff better then a brand new one. That’s a fact. So you’re getting another benefit from running it longer.
My 2008 yaris sedan calls for a supertech MP4967 and it does the trick but looking at the MP7317 it's a little longer with more filter media, should I switch to it even if I change my oil every 5k miles?
Duan Lee is correct,
I was thinking about the 6607. Don't try to use the 7317.
@@duanlee883 You're correct, Good Catch. I got the sizes mixed up and was thinking about the 6607.

Thanks, Danny I appreciate it.👍
Glad you liked the video!😊
Thanks for the video. Super tech for me
You're Welcome!
I run wix XP on everything I own. But the super tech is worth the money savings
Interesting to see how they compare when I know mobil is made by champion labs and some of the super tech's are champion made to wix and Walmarts specs just waiting for Amazon to get in the game since I hear they are starting filter production in China
Thanks for sharing!
A millimeter is .04 of an inch so there is, for all intents and purposes, no difference in thickness...............08 of an inch. The thickest human hair (black, usually) is about 5 mm thick.
I change my oil with full synthetic every 7k miles, which for me is every 3 months, but I do a rural route with a tremendous amount of stop and go driving in hilly areas. So would the Supertech still be ok?
Yes, but you probably fall in the category of severe driving and should do shorter oil change intervals. A good thing to do would be to have your oil analyzed.
@@WhipCityWrencher I see. I'll have to check on that. It's every three months that I change it, but still around 7,000 miles. I use 10,000 mile oil.
@@jamienoel I'd still get an oil analysis if you do a lot of stop and go driving.
I use mobil 1 I'm not saying it's the best but works for me I'm a senior don't drive much I get mine at wal_mart for around seven dollars
Doesnt matter what filter you use, long as its not a fram. Walmart doesnt make their own filters, they get different companies to make their filters . I only use super tech and Im a trained Dealer tech for over 30 years now.
Please dont run your oil and filter for 10,000 miles unless you want to clog up the oil control rings on your pistons and start having oil use issues.
I'm changing an engine out now due to someone going 9,000 miles between changes and the toasted a rod bearing.
inside of the engine was slightly slugged up.
Really the most important test is a filtration test. Without having some way of testing that, there isn't a way to show which one works the best. Honestly, a $3 commercial brand will work just fine. But if you really want to compare the filters, there needs to be some way of testing their ability to filter.
I also concur!
I use the super tech filters for 10k miles with a drain and fill at 5k all seems to be fine.
Thanks for sharing.👍
