This is a good filter, however it is identical to K&N's oil filters with two exceptions: K&N has a 1" nut at the end to ease removal without special tools, and the colour: K&N is white, Mobil 1 is black. These filters are made in the same factory, have identical factory "dot matrix ink" printing on them for their codes. The reviews for K&N filters are usually great, so there's no reason not to give this filter anything different. I have used this filter on my 2009 Subaru Forester, but I prefer the K&N's easy removal one inch nut for my car, as it's too difficult to get any other kind of tool in the tight spot where the filter's located.

So, if the nut is needed to help remove the filter, go with K&N, if not, it's your choice.

If you are do-it-yourselfer, K&N is most convenient (nut to remove, mark to rotate the last 3/4 turn). If you are a racing enthusiast, Mobil can withstand the max pressure (615 psi, Bosch 500 psi). If you are interested in changing filter as late as possible, Bosch-Distance-Plus (not other models!) holds the max contaminants (29.1g, Mobil 28g very close). If you want max engine protection, Bosch is 99.9% efficient (Mobil 99.2% very, very close).

Some reviewer has said that Mobil filters are K&N filters on the inside. I disagree. Peeking inside the filter hole (you can see only the inner drum and hint of filter material) cannot tell an "expert" how the filter is constructed on the inside. Why does K&N not declare their data (as Mobil and Bosch Distance-Plus-only do?) People who are at the top always boldly publish their data, and do not depend on hype.

Yes, previous version of Mobil filters had flow problems. That has been long corrected.

Great filter. Not so sure I'm going to let it go 10,000 miles. I guess ni'll look at the color of the old oil after 4,500 mile change and consider a filter change. The price of two of these is cheaper then the crap fram ones at walmart. about 4 dollars a pop. excellent quality. rub old oil aroun the new filter case to create a snug seal.

Honest reviews on Mobil 1 M1-108 Extended Performance Oil Filter, Pack of 2

Had been using this filter on my 2009 WRX until I noticed during my most recent oil change that the filter was defective. Looking inside the filter there are small louvers which the oil has to travel through. On my filter I noticed that the louvers were not thoroughly punctured which would cause the oil to not pass through effectively. I will not be using this filter again due to poor manufacturing quality. Also the Subaru WRX requires a filter with the correct bypass pressure which only the factory filter provides.

I just installed the filter only maybe 2 weeks ago, so it's to early to tell about life, and the bike doesn't have an oil pressure gauge, however it is made really well on the inside, the fit and finish of it is also excellent.
