Mobil 1 Oil Filter Vs. Napa Gold vs K&N Gold or???

K&N and FRAM TG it all depends whether or not the K&Ns in stock

 

Please get this sorted out. In just another 3 years I'm going to have to start changing my own oil. :grin:

 

its only on for about 1000 to 2000, thats how frequent i change my oil. And thats only once in a while when i cant find a K&N

 

So it wouldn't matter if it got the low marks for longevity. It would matter if it got the low marks for filtration.

 

well it doesnt seem to bother the car with almost 90K and all the hard runs its had.

 

Well, sure. But the engine might only last 150K instead of 155K.

 

:rofl: :hug:

I think it'll go 153K :rofl:

 

Nice post Milan, interesting study. I'm always a little weary of "studies" cause they all seem to have some hidden agenda and will bias their results accordingly. This one tho seems pretty straight forward, not bad. Personally I like to go by what's actually happening out in the real world, what others say and what others have experienced.

That being said, so everyone ... what's the best filter then? The Napa? What about factoring in price? And what's the worst? And what's the final verdict on the Mopar as well as the Mobil??

One last thought, being as most of us prolly change our oil fairly often (like 3K) to where the filter isn't used for that long a time is it really that important to have the best one?? Or the opposite, since we use synthetic oil that lasts longer is it more a necessity to have the best filter?

 

Hey Milan, this is a little off topic (kinda, sorta) but too bad, hahaha, what oil does your dealer use, the Mobil 1? 0-40W? I think it was Momo that put up a thread recently on Mobil 1 changing and it not being approved for our motors anymore, is that right? At least the 0-40 right?? Today I got mine changed and have a pretty good dealer (5 star) and a pretty good relationship with my adviser (9 years now) and I mentioned it to him but he hadn't heard anything. He checked around and said no one knew anything bout it and that it's also the oil they use in the Vipers too (they're fairly big on Vipers there too) so they'd be on top of it if there was a problem. He gave me the number of Chry to call and ask but I said they prolly don't know anything anyway so I was just wondering what you're doing, still using the 0-40 Mobil or what?? Next oil change I'm gonna use something else but not sure what to do yet.

 

That's what I thought but ... momo made it sound like it's old news and we shouldn't be using that oil anymore. IDK, maybe I'll just use some monkey grease instead, got any monkey boy? Hahahhahhahaaa

 

Amsoil 5w30 and a Napa Gold for my 426. I still wonder about the 30wt but if it lubricates what it is supposed to then less drag is better than more drag.

 

Those are the same filters, cept one has a nut on it (K&N).

YES it's important to have a good one; at 3k changes the filter is probably more important than the oil. The cheapie filters will have cheapie non-integrated bypass seals.

 

K&N or Mobil 1...like the K&N better because of ease of removal, but it's a little more expensive.
