never had an issue with the oil changing darker when using the mobil1 filter it would stay yellow tell 4500 miles before partials are seen in the oil
how many miles are currently on the vehicle. assuming you have owned it since new. over the years I've used numerous oil filters there are a few i stay away from but ive used them regardless at some point. an oil change is better than no oil change when your broke. anyway at some point your engine will start to build up more particulates and your oil will start turning darker faster. regardless of the filter brand you choose. they have aftermarket filtration methods that can counter act this but they tend to be expensive and take up alot of room. to filter to the level of keeping the oil looking clean until the next oil change it has to catch alot more than a standard oil filter. this also generally makes the filter significantly larger so it can catch everything without plugging up.
