I'm not a car pro by any means. I have my oil changes done for me, so I can't verify by any means other than how my car runs and any feedback I get from the mechanic. However, I've been pairing this Mobile 1 filter with Castrol Edge 5W-30 in my 2009 Mazda3 for quite awhile now and at 70K my engine still idles nearly just as quiet as when it was new, and it still runs smooth and clean as ever. I've never noticed or been told of any oil burn off. I change it out every 5-6K or 6-7 months and have no issues to speak of. This filter seems to be excellent and it gives me the confidence that most other (cheaper) filters don't. I'll probably never switch brands again.
One thing I do know, and is always a good rule to follow: Your oil is only as good as your filter, so invest in a good filter. The Mobile 1 is a great filter and you can't really go wrong with it. Also goes along with the advice: you get what you pay for. If you buy cheap filters, you'll get cheap results.
