The M1-108 is not longer than stock. It's a nice tidy fit.

 

Excellent. I think I've heard enough to give it a try on the next oil change @6k. Damn I put miles on this thing like crazy!! But it's just so much fun.

 

1k more, and I'll try it too.

 

I went back to oem. The auto parts store filter seemed to long, hung down to far. Anyway, that is my 2 cents worth...

 

K&N 1010. Little smaller in overall diameter but has an awesome pressure rating. Just installed it.

 

So what's the word - MZ690116 yes or no?
I need to order ASAP and mitsuparts.net is saying that "*Part MD356000 is superseded by MZ690116."

 

Hey guys, I use some stupid filter that auto brough up in their system for the EVO. ****, I hope I didnt do any major demage to my engine bc the filter sucks. I know it's not mobile one, it's some cheap brand. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh...Stupid me.....IM so worry now....

K&N website states HP-1008 is correct filter for EVO VIII. HP-1010 is for 2003 Lancer. But, oddly enough, HP-1008 is stated for 2004 Lancer with 2.0L engine.

Hey All,

I just bought a dozen genuine mitsu filters from these guys for 5.22 a pop. Free delivery too. They also have the crush washers. Cheaper than Mobil1 filters!

Why are you guys putting those SMALL filters on your EVO when they were made for the Lancer? Don’t you realize the EVO filter is BIGGER for a reason? It has to filter MORE oil than the standard Lancer. 5qts Vs 4qts.


if you do a cross reference on the MZ690116 Filter you come up with this:

MITSUBISHI MZ690116 = L14459

The L14459 is a purolator filter part number. Then once you have the part number you can see what vehicles use this filter.

This is an Example:


MITSUBISHI
3000GT
V6 3.0L F.I. Turbo (VIN K) (DOHC)
1993-
1994

MITSUBISHI
3000GT
V6 3.0L F.I. Twin Turbo (VIN K)
1998-
1999


MITSUBISHI
Diamante
V6 3.0L F.I. (VIN B)
1992-
1992

MITSUBISHI
Diamante
V6 3.0L F.I. (VIN H) (SOHC)
1993-
1996

MITSUBISHI
Diamante
V6 3.0L F.I. (VIN J) (DOHC)
1995-
1995


MITSUBISHI
Diamante
V6 3.0L F.I. (VIN J) (DOHC) 24V
1993-
1994


MITSUBISHI
Diamante
V6 3.0L F.I. (VIN S) (DOHC)
1992-
1992


MITSUBISHI
Diamante
V6 3.0L F.I. (VIN S) (SOHC)
1993-
1994


MITSUBISHI
Eclipse
V6 3.0L F.I. (VIN H)
2001-
2004

MITSUBISHI
Eclcpse
V6 3.0L F.I. (VIN L)
2000-
2000

Notice how this filter is used on V6 engines? They have larger oil capacities and NEED a larger filter to keep up with the demand of the engine. I bet that ALL other filter companies will say the same thing too.

Do your selves a favor and get the right filter and don’t always believe what an auto parts store tells you.

 

someone get the different brands, cut them open, and post the pics!

 

Looking at images of filter innards is all fine and good but what it's all about is the bypass valve pressure, flow rates, filtration, and burst pressure. If the guys in Japan with the engineering degrees say use Mitsu part number MZ690116 then hey, why not? At five bucks a pop you'll save a few bucks over Mobil1 and you run zero risk of any warranty hassles. They also have a nice o-ring seal which is more than can be said for the Mobil1 filter.

 

I use the K&N with no problems.

 

Event-Horizon (cool spaceship from an interesting movie) said:
FWIW, the L14459 (but get the PL14459 which is better if you are using Purolater) is the SAME one used in HONDA/ACURA/ISUZU and thus fits a billion cars on the planet---all of which have small 4-bangers. Just want to be sure you know this since you listed Mitsu 6 engines in cross-reference.

Anyone used an AMSOIL filter? Want to comment on it?
