We LAB tested four high mileage oil filters to see which one was the best. From their capacity to filter out aluminum powder, to their flow restriction, and filtering performance, we're leaving no stone unturned. If you want to learn how an oil filter works and find out which one takes the crown, then stick around.

    Wix XP and Purolator filters are very popular. Would love to see them against these filters
  • @97marqedman
    One thing I would suggest, despite the difficulty of doing so, is using oil heated to normal operating temps for the long-duration tests. The oil/filter media relationship changes very much with temperature.
  • I've been using Mobile 1 high mileage synthetic and aFram ultra filter fo 15 years perfect so far, and on a 2004 Ram 1500 i have 400,000 miles still running good..Great Video!!!
  • This has been one the best actual testing of oil filters. Most other sites just cut them apart and give subjective opinions on their construction without any valid performance testing.
  • @bulbacivic
    I get the 20k synthetic oil and pair it with the 20k rated filter.... and still change it every 3 to 5k miles 😅
  • @luxcabelga
    FINALLY a test were goes beyond just cut open and counting pleats...pressure differential and filtration capacity, that's what's really matters!
  • @moriwaki1105
    The sheer effort to make this video.... Thank you for making it from UK.
  • @perraz71
    The bypass opens between 2-5bar. When the engine is cold, no oil is filtered, everything goes in the bypass. Most engines have an oil pressure of 3 bar and above. Test the filters without the bypass valve and with different oil temperatures and see how much oil flows through the oil filters!
  • @Cooldibs
    This has huge potential. You should definitely do more brands. Penzoil, amsoil, oem filters, ect!
  • @sixtyminute4482
    I’ve seen many other videos on oil filters from various channels. Most of them just cut it open and examine the internals. Your guys’ video is the first review I’ve seen with actual performance testing. Very well made and informative. Would love to see more!

    Subscribed, this was very thorough and well done. Hope you are compensated with many views and more subscribers and can’t wait to see more

    My results are : 1. I use only full synthetic oil and usually a Fram XG filter every oil change 2. I do an oil change every 5000 miles 3. at 200,000 miles my engine burns zero oil and runs like the day I bought it In my personal opinion the 5000 mile oil change gives the best results regardless of the oil or filter used or the make and model of the car. I have driven at least a million and half miles in my life so far and I have never blown and engine.
  • @tbolt5883
    This is what I wanted to see. Not just taking a filter apart to see how pretty it looks inside.
  • Just goes to show you that Fram for all the haters out here that it’s a respectable filter. The best filter for you car is a clean one. Cannot stress that enough, clean filters work better and provide protection for a few dollars. Great video, now how do you convince people to change oil regularly when they don’t even know that the car takes oil. I’ve heard it time after time that “I didn’t know it took oil, I just put gas in it “.
  • @user-bq8gx7le2e
    Mobile 1 is the only filter and oil I've used for years. Thanks for the confirmation.
  • @Currawong
    I'd probably go with the better oil flow over filtering, simply because it's easy to change the oil more often, which will reduce wear, whereas oil starvation will destroy your engine far more rapidly.
  • @twotrackjack2260
    Along with the other great suggestions, I'd love to see some OEM filters stacked up vs. the aftermarket competition like AC Delco, Motorcraft ect..
  • @nc3780
    would be interested to see how OEM filters perform in the same tests.

    I used to use a bypass filter along with the normal full flow filter. It would filter constantly even and especially at higher engine rpm, and filter down to 5 micron. Since it is so restrictive, the full flow (normal) filter was there to provide filtering AND oil to vital engine components. However oil that was 2 years old was just as clean as it was at 500 miles. I changed the bypass once a year.
