misterp Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 For those that buy and use premium oil filters, I rifled through the oil filter section at OReilley's last night and found the M1-206 fits LS1's and is 1/2-again taller than the stubby M1-107 called for in the book. I figure hey since they are both the same price may as well get the larger capacity filter, it works too I had 50-psi oil pressure at idle with Mobile-1 5W-30. Mr. P.

Holty Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 damn, i though that was common knowledge. I've been using the m1-206 filter for two years. Good post though as i'm sure many people didn't know about it. After all, if mr. p didn't know, i'm sure there are many others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holty Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 Also, just so everyone knows, the tall K&n filter number is 2006. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holty Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 Just throwing this out there as well, not trying to thread jack Mr. P, but you guys are using the mobil 1 with the gold cap right? if not, your not getting the "good" mobile 1 and wasting your money.

Badkarma Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 I think I'm going to give the K&N HP 2006 a try with my next oil change. Currently using the 1007, tiny little thing! I cant imagine any draw backs, Im safe right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I myself no longer use mobile 1, i switched to royal purple. I still use either mobile 1 or k&n filters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I myself no longer use mobile 1, i switched to royal purple. I still use either mobile 1 or k&n filters. Interesting... but oil debates are like color debates--almost everyone gets nowhere, fast... Mobile One, even in the "regular" gray cap is better than any non-synth oil out there, and more than exemplary if we change our oil with any kind of regularity. I never let my oil get older than 3000 miles, but I commute with my truck. Even so, I would never feel comfortable taking any oil past 5000 miles. But that's just me. At that frequent an oil change interval, even conventional oils would be more than sufficient... As a side note, the last time I changed my oil, I went with Shell Rotella (Full sytnth, 5w40)... It's cheap at Walmart in the gallon bottle, and I've heard nothing but good things about Rotella. I run Mobile One in every other vehicle I own. Just my .02...

I agree, oil debates or useless and never get anywhere. However, i'm just pointing out that in all the oil analasys and debates you see/read on the net, the mobile 1 oil in question is the gold cap, not there lower line of synthetic oil.
