Mobil 1 Extended Performance M1-212A Oil Filter

I bought a new Chevy truck back in late 2022 and I decided to study what is the best oil and filter. I viewed videos on YouTube and read some of the post on the forums. What I found some of my old favorite filters from K%26N its failed performance and NAPA and WIX had changed their design. I cut my filters to see how they held up and take pictures. I study some of the design features, since then and became aware of the good and lesser advantages of each. The Mobil 1 Extended Performance M1-212A Oil Filter became my favorite for the best features design in my opinion not only because of the reasonable price but because of the bypass valve design and the use of the leaf spring that holds the filter media centered compared to the coil spring in which I question this. I have purchased several filters to keep on the shelf in my garage for maintaining another vehicle that uses the same filter, a 2017 Chevy 5.3 Tahoe. As of December 2025, unless I find something different, I recommend this M1-212A filter made by Mobil the in made in South Korea.
