Anybody using Mobile 1 Oil Filters on their Twin Cam??

Pros? Cons?

Does it really make any difference??

[LC110]

No problem with the Mobil 1 oil filter, made by the same company as the factory HD Filters and K&N
Champion labs. http://www.champlabs.com/content/mobil-branded-filter-limited-warranty

Here is an update:
Once called Champion Laboratories, Inc. the company is now labeled FRAM Filtration a the registered trademark of FRAM Group IP LLC.
 A manufacturer and distributor of filter product brands: Fram, VW, Mobil, STP, TRO, Mopar, K & N and others. Their customer tech department advised us they also make oil filters for AC/Delco and Walmart under the Super Tech brand. (source) http://www.b4usa.com/champion-laboratories-inc/

You know why I stick to the K&N oil filters? That nifty 17 mm nut that makes it a snap to remove the filter!

Does this Mobil 1 filter have that? I figure K&N has a patent on it, because I don't see anyone elses filters with it.

LC, thanks for the info...

NS, No the Mobile1 filter doesn't have the 17mm nut, I agree it's handy.

I had some Pep Boys rewards $$, went to PB with the intention of getting the K&N, the Mobil1 is the only TC filter that they could find, I ordered 5, thanks to the input here I won't have any anxiety giving the M1s a try... The M1 seems like a premium filter...

Drag Specialties sells a filter with a nut welded on it. (There brand) been selling them for years.

I've gotten K&N's locally at Cycle Gear and a few auto parts stores have them.  Its the KN-171 B or C for touring bikes.  I like that the Drag filter has both the nut and the ridges on the cylinder so an old filter wrench will work too.

We use Bruce Jenner filters here, they screw on from either end................

While the Drag filter has the nut, people should not assume the actual filter is the same.  According to the Drag catalog, that filter has a paper element.  The K&N has a premium synthetic media element, which is common on most companies premium grade (and price) filters.  Just thought I'd throw this out there in case anyone thought they were the same.
