vanuatoo Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 (edited) Hello, I've got 2003 SE 4wd. I've been using Mobil 1 Extended Performance 5w-30 with M1-108 synthetic oil filter. M1-108 was recommended by Mobil 1. Recently I checked and their recommendation now is M1-110 or M1-110A. I don't know if it's just a typo from their side or they have specific reason to recommend M1-110 instead of M1-108. M1-110 is a longer filter but has the same thread. Do you have any experience with it? Should I switch to it? Edited February 10, 2019 by vanuatoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuasarDecimari Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 If the diameter of the seal is the same, and the threads are the same, you won’t do any harm. I’ve heard mixed opinions about using larger filters than the factory design, but most opinions have agreed that using a slightly larger filter can have positive effects. I know for older engines, it helps to have more oil in the filter to pull from when starting, and for some things like camshaft variable valve timing, I’ve heard larger filters prolong the life of that too. Regardless, compare the filter to another brand. If you’re at a parts retailer, ask to see another brand (like a Purolator), so that you can compare shapes and sizes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stpickens Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 I have been using the 110 filter for years now. It holds a lot more oil in it which I like. Never once had an issue with it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
