Best Mobil 1 oil filter size???

I didn't know we could use a variety of sizes for our oil filters. What are the benefits of using the larger diameter filters?? I did a search, but didn't find answers to all of my questions. I am asking specifically about Mobil 1 filters. What is the best size filter to get???

M1-110,108,106,105(largest),&104 all fit. I always use the largest that I have room for on all my engines.

Thanx for the sizes. Question: What si the benefit of using the largest filter?? Did you have any rpoblems with the install of the M1-105 (larger filter = tighter to get into place)???

I have just bought 7 of the M1-105's on e-bay, they have been shipped but I do not have them yet. I think room for the 105 will not be a problem.

I would think, the bigger the oil filter the more filtration you'll get.

false, filter media and construction are just as (if not more) important than diameter.

this may be true if the smaller/larger filters are made by the same company using the same media/casing/valve/etc.

So, sticking to Mobil 1 filters, it would be safe to assume that the larger diameter filter would be the better way to go, correct???
