I was under the impression that the M1 oil filter had wire backing on the media. However, after looking at some pix and vids, it seems like maybe it does not. Googled info on it, but nothing really came up that talked about it. I'm sure someone around knows for sure. Thanks.
M1 filter question

I can assure you it does not have wire backing. It does have synthetic blended media though. I will make a recommendation though, the Fram Ultra is available for less than the M1 line of filters. It does have wire backed fully synthetic media and is capable of 15K FCI's. Not knocking M1 as I hear they make a good filter, its just that for the price its hard to beat the Fram Ultra.
Negative.

M1 oil filter is a high quality filter, but Fram Ultra is a much better buy because it costs less than M1, also with double layers synthetic media and high debris holding capacity.

M1, like the Bosch DP, is a synthetic/cellulose blend. Overpriced for what you get, IMO.

Good filters, but as bullwinkle said, they are overpriced.
Mobil 1 oil filters are very solidly built/well constructed, and like others have said, it has cellulose/synthetic blend media that is not wire-backed. It is a very good filter, but also like others have said, it is more expensive than some full-synthetic oil filters (like Purolator Synthetic, Bosch Long Life, and FRAM Ultra).
