I am using K&N oil filter now. So its good to know the material is the same. Now we have choices for high performance oil filters for our cars...

Here's a good read: http://minimopar.knizefamily.net/oilfilterstudy.html
Mobil1 and K&N filters are made on the same production line, with slight proprietary differences - but you can't go wrong with either. The "nut" on the end of the K&N rocks. You'll find the best deal on K&N filters here: http://www.ajusa.com/cgi-bin/store/start?r=store& The part # for all Protege 2.0's is the HP-1008 (Check out some of the heavy-hitters this filter spins on in the app. list) Pick up 3 filters and you get free shipping.

I use mobil 1 5 W 30 in the winter and 10 w 30 in the summer with a K&N oil filter. The oil filter costs me about 11.99

what is the model number for the Mobil 1 oil filter for our cars?

Do the more expensive oil filters really make a huge difference? I have always run the full synthetic mobile1 oil in my car but have always just used the cheaper oil filters- currently Im running a bosch oil filter in my car- and they have worked fine? is it just a personal preference?

I have been using the K&N filters for years, and have them available on my website as well:

Yes, the oil filter makes a difference.

I used a Mobil1 filter on the last change on my 3 (got a rebate deal, so it cost the same as a Motorcraft). It's coming up due in another month or so and I'm going to send the used oil in for analysis and see if it did any good.

That's good to know that the K&N is the same filter. Might save some coin.

what he said....oil filters definately are part of the internal lubricant/cleaning link...

 

[winty87]

And the K&N filters have a nice feature...The have well somewhat of a bolt at the top of the filter so you can use a 1" Wrench to loosen/tighten it, instead of using your hand.(thumb)

absolutely, the cheaper ones like the Fram's for example:

this filter cartridge has a small outside diameter with a rather low filter element surface area (193 sqin), and features cardboard end caps that are glued in place. The rubber anti-drainback valve seals the rough metal backplate to the cardboard end cap and easily leaks, causing dirty oil to drain back into the pan. If you have a noisy valve train at startup, this filter is likely the cause. The bypass valves are plastic and are sometimes not molded correctly, which allows them to leak. The backplate has smaller and fewer oil inlet holes, which may restrict flow.

bosch isn't much better than fram, but fram is the absolute worst. I'd almost go as far to say they're dangerous.

Guys P/N for mobil 1 please?

M1-108 for the P5, M1-110 for the 626. the 626 filter spins right on your P5, is a bit taller and adds a little more capacity. Since K&N specs. the shorter filter for even Nissan's 3.5L motors, It's probably not needed - but it probably can't hurt either .
