Mobil 1 filter 25% smaller.

The size of the mobil 1 filter since last year has gotten 25% shorter than the one from last year.We use a truck filter according to the guy at auto zone and he said his filter was smaller.I wonder why it got smaller,and wonder if it has the same performance.

There are 2 types of filters that will fit on the SBC LT1. The long one and a short one, either will work you probably had the long one and bought the short one this time.

the long one can hold more oil and has a bigger filter media. but it all has to go through that hole in the middle, so who knows. the bigger on would take longer to clog, though.
