Why should I buy this oil filter? I have never had any trouble with
conventional filters.

The Mobil 1 Extended Performance Oil Filter offers you the following benefits:
-
Cleaner oil.
-
Longer filter life.
-
Reduced potential for filter failure due to pressure build-up.
-
Reduced potential for filter failure due to repeated pressure surges at
start-up.
-
Improved oil flow.
-
Easier filter removal after use.
Taking good care of your engine, including keeping the oil well-filtered, will
make your engine last longer and perform better. If you want the best
protection available for your engine, and you want your car to last a long
time, use the Mobil 1 Extended Performance Oil Filter and use Mobil 1 motor
oil.

The filter box says that Mobil 1 Extended Performance Oil Filters contain a
synthetic fiber blend filter element. Are these related to the synthetic
components found in Mobil 1 synthetic motor oils?
|
|
No. Most conventional oil filters use a filter medium that is made of
cellulose – typically wood fiber – and polyester fibers. Mobil 1 Extended
Performance Oil Filters combines a mixture of synthetic micro fibers and
natural fibers to produce the most efficient oil filter on the market. The
synthetic components of Mobil 1 motor oil are chemically synthesized liquids.
The synthetic fibers in Mobil 1 Extended Performance Oil Filters yield the
following key benefits:
-
A much more efficient filter, removing more particles per pass through the
filter than conventional filter media.
-
Less resistance to oil flow, reducing the potential for the filter to restrict
the flow of oil to your engine.
-
A larger surface area to trap more contaminant particles, allowing the longer
service intervals.

Can I use Mobil 1 Extended Performance Oil Filters with conventional oil?
|

fully compatible with conventional oils.

Does ExxonMobil make oil filters for use with Mobil 1?
|
|
ExxonMobil does offer a very high-quality oil filter that can be used with any
motor oil, but it is an especially appropriate companion to Mobil 1. Mobil 1
Extended Performance Oil Filters contain synthetic fibers instead of the
typical cellulose filter media. With a 99.2 percent efficiency rating (under
SAE J1858 Multi-Pass Efficiency Test), the Mobil 1 filter is much more
efficient than a typical oil filter, removing more particles per pass through
the filter. In addition, the synthetic fibers in the Mobil 1 filter have less
resistance to oil flow, reducing the potential for the filter to restrict the
flow of oil to your engine.
