I've used WIX from the local NAPA for years because it's one of the better filters on the market....and they only cost a little more. Always look at which filter they put on commercial engines. (Usually WIX or Baldwin) In my many years working as a welder I have never seen a Fram on on a commercial engine. A Parts guy told me once that KZread did a lot of damage to Fram because they exposed them. A little surface rust is probably from moisture from manufacturing. Doesn't hurt a thing. The price difference between a good filter and a bad one is less than the price of a cup of coffee in a restaurant.

@anonymike8280

There are not really bad filters. There are low-end or no name filters. These are good for 5000 miles, no more. A filter is bad if you use it in an application which exceeds its specifications. One of the local tire chains where I live offers a $20 conventional oil change just to get you in the door so they can sell you tires, brakes or suspension work. They give you a no name filter, meaning a brand name you never will see in a parts store or box store. This type of filter is good for 5000 miles. Stay within that specification and you will have no problems because of the filter. If you plan to go 10,000 up to 25,000 miles on synthetic oil, you have to use a filter suitable for that purpose. Don't blame the products. Blame the failure to follow the correct maintenance protocols for the products used. Myself, I use a Supertech filter and brand name semisynthetic oil with an oil change interval of 2800 miles. Will I have an oil-related problem in my 21-year-old import because of what products I use? I seriously doubt it.

Cutting a filter open to see the guts does NOT tell us how good a job it does at filtering out impurities. That video showed that Wix, Mobil one, and Fram were at the top of the list.

I do run the Fram Ultra Synthetic filter in all my vehicles. It's overall the best filter media being a double lined media and fully synthetic with an extended life rating, upwards of 20,000 miles. Personally, I don't run that long between oil changes. As to the rust in the filters, I don't consider that to be a big issue because all modern oils have anti-rust additives as part of their additive package so the rust would be countered immediately. The glue is a product of trying to adhere 2 different materials together. It usually takes more glue and more expensive glue to make the 2 materials connect. The broken piece inside the one filter notwithstanding. As for the 2 other Fram filters, the PH and the Tough Guard, they use endplates that are of a similar material as the filter media's themselves, so it requires less expensive glue and less amount of glue to adhere them. Yes, some filters are manufactured by other companies so they will look the same, or multiple companies use parts from the same distributor so they may have parts with similar stampings in them. All are made by machine, and all may have a defect or 2 inadvertently in them, even the Wix and K&N filters are fallible. There are no guarantees in life.

I'm not sure a little rust defines a bad filter. It all depends on where and how long it was stored and the humidity it was exposed to. If it was drenched in oil soon after manufacturing it wouldn't rust. It's also something you can't really avoid.

@alexjenner1108

I have been using the cheapest oil filters I could have found in auto parts stores for the past 20+ years. Super tech filters from Walmart have worked just fine. My 20 year old 2001 Camry LE V6 with almost 200,000 miles does not burn/consume oil. Looking at the fiber filter media, I can see that Super tech filters are better than Fram filters are.

I see a lot of things that absolutely do not matter in its performance being covered, and quite a few things that do matter, not being covered

@jjreal9910

From an HVAC viewpoint, some new designed filters that are filtered to smaller particles can slow down the airflow which makes the furnace work harder equals less life of the unit. smaller micron restricts air flow. I don't think restricting oil flow on an engine would be a good idea.

@MachuPichuu

Жыл бұрын

That's why the filters have bypass valves. Depending on the design of the fins they could filter better and Hold more debris. Probably a reason why you shouldn't run a filter with smaller micron filtration for an extended period of time. Though I seriously doubt any filter after 6k miles would be"full"

Very interested information. Merry Christmas

A filtering test would be a real test on filterability.

Thanks for the time that you put into this video and letting us know the facts.

It seems to me that the “bean counters” have as much or more to do with quality than anyone or anything. You have a quality component (oil filter in this case) with a solid reputation and instead of either improving on it or leaving it alone the trend becomes figuring how to make it for less money. Or another company purchases the company making said “quality” component and does the same thing. I repair cars for a living and see this happen with automobile manufacturers.

WITHOUT WATCHING THE VIDEO, I'LL TAKE A GUESS AND SAY IT'S THE BRAND THAT I'VE BEEN USING FOR OVER FIFTY YEARS, WITHOUT A SINGLE PROBLEM! FRAM. ONE SMALL COMMENT, "I AM DONE WITH THESE RIDICULOUS COMPARISONS"!!

Amsoil seals their oil filters in plastic film in the box. It is likely to reduce these rust problems, which could be a product of the amount of time the filter has been sitting on the shelf.

Great video....i normally go wix..

The question is - how well do they actually filter dirt?

Lots of work, time and effort put into this video review. So, which one is best? No way to draw a final conclusion.

Can you cut open a Purolator One and Purolator Boss oil filter??

I agree the vid is confusing. Also PLEASE UNDERSTAND that the hole on the end of the K&N filter is NOT there as a wired tether to keep the filter from “hitting a vehicle behind you!” It is for “safety wiring”. To keep the filter tight and not twisting off by itself! It is a common technique used on critical components such as aircraft and even nuclear power! Thankyou.....

You know, I think the only way to really find out which one is best, would be to set up a machine that would run dirty used oil through a filter. The oil could come from multiple vehicles. Have a lab test the batch. Then run a specific amount through the filter, take a sample. Do this on multiple filters, send the samples to a lab, and see which filter removed more contaminates. The proof would be in the performance, not just an opinion of what feels better.

This would be a good idea if particulates (dirt) were the only thing in "dirty used oil". One of the chief reasons oil turns color (other than dirt) is oxidation caused by excess fuel during cold starts, and moisture not boiled off by short trips. Oxidation isn't reversed by changing the filter the oil is run through. So while you may catch some dirt that hadn't been caught by the previous filter, it wouldn't be the definitive test we'd all like to see. That being said, I'm definitely not a fan of the orange filters unless they're from the HP series like The Top Fuel guys use. And I've never seen a store selling them! Meantime, anything with the metal end caps is better, at least the oil goes through the filter media!

I have used Bosch Oil Filters for years. From a 2013 Hyundai Elantra GS Coupe, 15 Tucson, 16 Tucson. And now my current vehicle 2019 Kona. Also on a couple of Harley Davidsons. 2015 Street 750. And my current 2018 Sportster 1200 Custom. Never had any issues. I live in NJ. Maybe where you live is causing the rust?

2006 GMC Sierra 1500 with a 4.3 V6 under the hood, and I use WIX for the filter, and Castrol GTX for the oil.

Where's the flow rate, pressure drop, efficiency, cleanliness (ISO code), burst etc. testing? You make some valid observations but would like to see actual tests and data to back up your opinions.

I have hope to gain Intel on some oil filter testing ideas. I have used calipers, tape measure to check filter medium length,thickness plus housing thickness.

​ @NATES INTERACTIVE AUTO What Don is talking about is actually flowing oil through these filters to see the pressure drop/dP and figuring out actual efficiency/ISO Cleanliness with a particle counter. Both require an elaborate setup to test consistently and accurately. I have access to a lab in Germany that can do all this with just the pleat pack or the whole filter but paper/cellulose filters don't interest us. We're in the hydraulics industry (pretty much identical to automotive oil industry) and only deal with glass media. In this video the only one that looks like they're using fiber/micro glass is WIX XP. Glass is the best type of material for high quality filtering but I know for us (a small operation in the USA) to make an automotive oil filter using some of the best microglass in the world would cost $12-15 and we would have to sell it for $25-35. No one is going to buy it, even though the pressure drop is lower (allows more oil flow) and you get 4x the life out of it.

Thanks My goto filter is supertech st6607 since the car it is for oil change is 3-4k miles. Secondary is FRAM PH7317 I wouldn’t use either for 10k miles that they claim. Maybe 5-6k Max. I did use to use FRAM filters years ago never had any problems but I was always changing every 3-4k miles. Then I wised up and found better filter that was cheeper.

Which other filter?

It's no secret that wix started making microgard filters years ago. And yes, the can is the same, but the antidrainback valve and media is different.

My 2013 4Runner’s engine has everything but the filter medium built permanently as part of the engine. Thus all choices about filtering, for me, are about the replaceable filter medium. No questions and worries about the bypass valve or rust, etc. I use K&N filter medium units, though I only started changing oil myself about 100k miles ago. We’ve done oil changes every 5000 miles, and the car has 435k miles on it with no engine problems.

Yeah I want to know so what oil filter do you recommend cuz your video is a little confusing

The ONE thing you should buy from the "stealership" is an OEM oil filter.

How come nobody ever includes Puralator filters in these comparisons? I can say that a Puralator Boss filter that I use has a similar by-pass valve as the WIX XP, but it still has the stamped steel tensioning plate instead of the WIX type spring.

SUPER TECH IS JUST AS GOOD OR BETTER THAN MOST OTHER FILTERS AT A FRACTION OF THE PRICE, I'VE BEEN USING THEM FOR MANY YEARS AND NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES WITH THEM.

SuperTech (WM) is made by Champion as is KN. The KN hex, safety wire hole, and thick body should tip you off that these are Champion aircraft filters. Champion also makes many private label brands. Mopar, AC, NAPA, OReilly, AZ, and others. Some stores will argue, but.... Its like saying GM makes Cadillac and Chevy brands, so all Chevies are really Cadillacs.

I used to use K&N then ended up getting a faulty one. I always do a test drive after every oil change until it gets to temp to build up pressure and check for leaks. No leaks noted. One day at work as I was walking out to my truck I noticed a drip pattern coming down the road straight to my truck. I had developed a leak. I had to really crank it down to stop it which didn't sit well with me. Luckily I hadn't lost more than a 1/4 qt before I noticed. I had to switch after that. Not saying they're bad but they let me down.

What are the best oil filters?

I’ve watched so many of these oil filter videos and every one state a different brand we should not use and brands you should use

So, how do you know the car had the regular oil changes the workshops wrote down and got payed for? how many miles were on the filters? Do they all have the 5 micron particle size standard?

Is it possible that were these filters are stored in a less than perfect area after they leave the manufacture then they start to build rust. Hmmm just maybe. I've worked at an auto parts store and I can tell you sometimes they are stored in less than perfect areas sometimes when they are over stocked.

I have been using Wix for over 10 years and have never had any problems.

After listening this guy talks, I still confused of what he said. I read other readers' comment ,I come up with the same result. He should be more specific and to the point.

just an idea, why dont they put magnets in oil filters?

What filter so you recommend

It would have been nice to compare the OEM original Toyota filter.

He sounds like my grandpa telling me a story until I went to sleep which took about 3 minutes cause his story was boring. This was when I was nine. Now I’m 55 and this video put me to sleep in 3 minutes. Lmao.

Small rust in the Filter won't effect much of anything that's what the engine oil is there to protect the engine from

Exactly why I open the box and look at the filter before I buy it. I've seen some of the K&Ns and Mobile 1 that had a lot of the holes in the steel backing not punched out completely
