[QUOTE="Ruger, post: 1663622, member: 1594"] Do what I did. I took the Mobil 1 filter for my application and compared how much it weighs with every other oil filter on the shelf for the same application. Of course I didn't bring a scale to Auto Zone, I just did a subjective comparison with one filter in one hand and the other filter in the other hand. This was some years ago and maybe somebody is trying to compete directly with Mobil 1, but at the time the Mobil 1 filter was noticeably heavier. Heavier either means more steel in the can or more filter medium or both. To settle that question, I saved a used Purolator Premium filter and when I changed out a Mobil 1 filter I took them apart. There were quite noticeable differences inside. The number of pleats of filter medium was greater in the Mobil 1, the spring appeared to be more robust, and there were more threads where the can threads onto the vehicle. That was it for me. I was convinced and years and years later on Nissan, GMC, and Ford vehicles I've seen nothing to change my mind. [/QUOTE]
