I'd like to add that the oil pressure appeared normal after installing the Mobile 1 filter. The Mobile 1 filter is about half an inch longer than the RE filter, and I read that different sized oil filters can cause the oil pressure to drop, but my indicator was not lit during any of my test riding.
I searched the web far and wide, and there are zero specs on the RE oil filter---anywhere. So, I went to Walmart and brought the old RE filter with me, and compared it to several different sizes available at the store. I settled on the Mobil 1 M1-107A. The thread shaft width and gasket diameter seem to be an exact match, and it seemed to screw on perfectly. I changed the oil and filter, warmed it up, and took a short ride around town. Nothing leaking so far, engine seems to be performing and sounding right. I'm not sure if it was just my imagination or not, but it seemed to achieve greater speeds this time around while at lower RPMs.
I've been using mobile 1 5w30 with mobile 1 filter.
0w20 Mobil one synthetic and Mobil one filter since 50,000 km to now 205,000km on my 2014 mazda3. Engine runs great.
Mobil 1 full synth, or castrol full here as well, and usually their filters.. Yearly oil changes for me by my driving, and I change the filter every oil change instead of every other
I've been using Mobil 1 European formula as it is VW approved. I use Mann filter.
Yes, the Mobil1-301, the Mann W940/25, the Purolator L30257, and the Fram PH3569 are all equivalent in capacity (though most people say the Fram is not equivalent in quality).
every fram that ive used in the past was ng. most oil filters use a filter made of cellulose. mobil1 oil filters use synthetic fibers. those cellulose filters swell up and limit oil flow.
I used 4 or 5 for the first few changes on my honda Civic SI with a turbo, and half caused oil lights and pressure spikes or drops... switched to MOBILE1 or K&N and no problems.
I went to Pep Boys Auto Toys and bought a Fram PH2870A. The day after my girl called me and said that her oil light kept going off, the pressure differential across the Fram was so big that it tripped the oil pressure switches. I replaced it with a MANN and tested the pressure and it was right where it was supposed to be.
