Like the Champ filter, this filter is made by Champion Labs. However, it uses a unique end plate and a thicker can that make it the strongest filter available for wide distribution retail sale. It also uses a synthetic media, which inproves filtration and flow. I'm happy to say that this filter is not a fake. It is definitely a unique design.
It uses a synthetic fiber element that can filter out very small particles and is very strong. It is rated just under the Purolator Pure One as far as filtering capability, but is still very much above conventional paper filters. It also has a very strong construction to withstand high pressure spikes during start-up. However, as with all Mobil 1 products, expect to pay 2 - 3 times as much for this filter.
I have received many reports of these filters failing at high pressures. It seems that the seam where the backplate crimps to the case can split.

jdub said:Pricey filter...do you have a good reason for using it?
AlexSmith said:I don't mind paying too much for good quality filter and mediocre oil so $45 for an oil change with Mobil1.
Proof?AlexSmith said:LOL thanks Jetlock but IMO Mobil1 has some pretty good oils available.

AlexSmith said:So am I wrong for using Mobil1?
AlexSmith said:I know it is not a true synthetic. BTW it is still cheaper than regular synthetics so I guess it is priced right. I read a very good write up in DSport about oils and such. I am just not to keen on paying almost $9 per quart for oil and a 7MGE. When I get my car back as turbo that will probably change.
