wow please don't pay that much for a filter. you should be able to find an excellent filter under $10 no problem
I don't understand the comment on the housing. On my 02, the filter cartridge sets in a recess cast into the block. GM isn't outsourcing the block are they?
Sounds like a miss-marked price.
M1 filters are long life. Good for (3) 5K OCI.

My M1-103 box says "See product for country of origin marking"
Filter is dot marked "Product of USA/Producto de EUA"
Supply chain can be changed without mods to the packaging
I plan on running my M1 15K miles min.

The delco filter is the best one for this application. I would stick with that.

When he says housing, I think he means the cap that fits over the cartridge filter and presses the filter down into the housing when it screws in.

You can almost buy 5 Delcos for the price of that M1, and since the filter is easy to change the M1 wouldn't be worth it. Besides since the OLM can run 10K miles or so, I'd say the ACDelco cartridge is considered to run at least 10K. Worst case scenario for a an extended OCI say 15K you might change the ACDelco twice.

I see no value or benefit in running a Mobil 1 filter in a cartridge type usage. Maybe in a conventional steel can filter application but only when on sale. I've used Mobil 1 filters (steel cans) in the past when they were on sale and frankly I see nothing better about them. I think most other filters of quality (bosch, Purolator, Wix and so on) can handle the extended drains. I've done extended drains on SuperTechs and the UOA showed no issues at all with dirt/contamination so there's all the proof I need.
That's the right price. They are special order for my Volvo. So I just went with the Wix instead. I love the M1 canister filters, but use the Wix for cartridge filters.
Big M1 filter fan here, and I will not pay for their cartridge filters, either. I will use either Wix or OEM before paying a premium for M1 cartridges.
Mobil 1 M1C-151 Extended Performance Oil Filter, Pack of 2
at Amazon for $32.79. That's $16.39 each with free shipping.
Still kinda pricy.
