It's kind of a love/hate relationship. Think Walmart with a Pep Boys inside.

Re: Mobile 1 Extended Performance
It is a Canada wide chain open 7 days a week with lifetime tools and
excellent warranties on things like tires, batteries, flats fixes, etc.
They have everything from camping and sports to hardware, welding
equipment and shop tools to automotive.
When I did a frame up rebuild on my CJ7 they got all kinds of parts for
it, ones even Chrysler couldn't come up with like t-case shift fork
seals, carb kits, etc....
Some folks think because they buy parts in bulk so they can sell them
cheaper that the quality is lower. Most times they are the same parts
from the same makers even in the same boxes but 1/4 the price.
Seals for 10 bucks with the same part number in the same bag as the
$tealers $40.00 ones. Same for a gas filter once, $12.00 vs the
$tealers $45.00 on a Volvo I once had. Same bosch box, same part
number....
Even the house brand boxes have name brand parts in them, CT doesn't
make anything...

What brand(s) of oil filter would you recommend as a "premium lower-micron
