We tested 4 of the most viewer suggested oil filters to see which one was the best. We simulated hot and cold temperatures, their ability to filter out fine particles, and sent them off to a laboratory to assess their filtering performance. #oil #filter #test

  • Many people don't realize that Purolator, Wix, and many house brands (ie. Napa, Carquest) are all owned and manufactured by Mann-Hummel. So it makes sense that those 3 were very close to each other in most of the tests.The Purple filter was the only really different one.

    • Is Mann-Hummel the German company that I heard bought Wix fairly recently? Probably is, because before the buy-out, Wix made oil filters for NAPA and several others parts store house brands........plus this new video proves they have the same identical components inside the filters. If this is the case, it's good to see Mann-Hummel is keeping up the quality of Wix filters. By the way: before the buy out, I had an Amsoil rep tell me over the phone that their own Amsoil brand oil filters were also made by Wix. Amsoil had only Wix and their Amsoil branded filters available to purchase on their website, and people are paying a little extra money for the Amsoil branded filter, which is identical to the Wix filter, lol. At least the Amsoil rep was being honest about answering my question.

A lot of people don't know that oem's don't build filters but they do spec them. The manufacturer filter doesn't always match the oem filter exactly.

  • Up in the league with Project Farm with this level of comparison testing with better visuals. (I also recommend testing OEM oil filters, I know that Honda for example such as the A02 and 15400-RTA-003 have felt/cardboard end caps with no wire backing. I just checked the Toyota N1 spin on filter as well and it’s fairly rudimentary in it’s construction, at least in appearance)

Would love to see Amsoil, Napa Gold (or WIX equivalent), AC Delco Ultragaurd Gold, Purolator One next. Plus would be nice to see a repeat of Fram Ultra Synthetic, Mobil 1 and K&N. I’m sure this testing already takes a lot of effort but repeatability would be interesting (both for skid and between different filters of the same brand). Keep up the great work.

    • ​@abraham3981 no they are not even close to the same. Mobil One oil filter is synthetic blend while Purolator Boss is fully synthetic. Mobil One is rated for 30 microns and Purolator is rated for 20 microns. Smaller is better. That being said I personally have been using the Mobil One oil filter for 20 years or more now. It is a great filter, but not the absolute best.

    • @@heartysteer8752 The "lab dust" is a far better test, there is a good reason he stopped using the used motor oil - the ISO standardized dust is controlled and the contaminant size follows a set standard (which you can look up), there is no physically possible way to create a whole bunch of the exact same used motor oil to be compared back and forth - this is because the contaminants in used motor oil are going to vary on driving conditions, oil temperature, settling, additives, engine state, intake air quality, etc. Using ISO standardized dust eliminates those concerns and gives you a far more useful baseline to compare against, you just can't have any control with used motor - this leads to bad data. TL;DR - Relying on used motor oil to monitor contaminants and filtration capacity is like relying on your finger instead of a thermometer to tell what the temperature is outside.

    • @@heartysteer8752 what you're saying sounds good. But if the filters fail using industry standard dust (that is designed to mimic the charactistics of typical particles) Then I don't see how using "real world" examples would show anything more conclusive than what has already been shown. Due to the fact that actual engine particulates break off at different rates (and shapes as you said), there's no way to duplicate the same test using the same amount of "real world" debris. The laboratory dust allows tests to be more consistent between filters. Otherwise the results could be skewed based on what kind of particulates were used for a particular test. I think these results are more useful than the random results that can be generated by "real world" examples. 😁

    • @@heartysteer8752 It's funny - some people just don't realize how ridiculously stupid they are - the "lab dust" is literally made to model differing shapes and profiles, that's the entire point of the "lab dust". Also, if your engine has big enough particulates where the shape actually matters then *you have far bigger problems* then your next oil change. cdn.standards.iteh.ai/samples/63386/9a1bcaa0d6df4330b7b4dd7af9cbda75/ISO-12103-1-2016.pdf

  • It is said frequently that engine wear is due to particle sizes less than 20 microns, as they are small enough to fit into engine clearances (this is easily searchable online). These are the hardest particles to filter out. If you could point this out and maybe test for these smaller particles then your videos would be even more helpful in the future. Personally I have been running Fram Ultra filters as they have tested well in independent tests, and their stated efficiency (filtering ability) is the best I can find at 99% at 20 microns. But Fram has recently changed the construction of the Ultra filter and I do not know if it is as good now as it was before. There is a new Fram Endurance that states is for an even longer OCI of 25,000 miles, but I have seen no independent testing of this model. Recently I have been buying Champ XL filters from RockAuto as they are cheap and manage to have the same high efficiency ratings of 99% at 20 microns, they seem like a bargain. If you guys could test these filters, and any others that you find with good efficiency ratings it would be very helpful. Testing filters whose companies state up front that that they are not the best in filtration (with stated lower efficiency ratings) and quality is not helpful when we are trying to figure out who is the best. Thank you for all the work you have done to improve your testing and I eagerly look forward to your videos in the future.

We left a couple of easter eggs throughout the video of oil filters that we are currently testing and at the end of the video you can see a sneak peek of the Fram endurance. Next video will be an all out test on the FRAM filters so we can compare to these. I personally run the FRAM Ultra and have had no problems so I get where you are coming from. Thank you for all the support. Hopefully these videos do well so we can continue to make more videos.

Anyways, can you please include a different length version of the same filter? Sometimes you can install a bigger filter than what car manufacturer tells you. I'll give you an example: XG3614 and XG3600
