TL;DR No independent SAE J1858 multi-pass test data exists for the M1-212A; the 99% efficiency figure is stated against the USCAR 95% minimum, not a third-party beta-ratio test. It is the Extended Performance filter for the 2014-2018 Silverado and Sierra EcoTec3 engines, plus the 2019-2026 Silverado EcoTec3 V8s (ACDelco PF63 cross), with a 20,000-mile warranted rating.
Spin-on canister filter with synthetic fiber blend media and a 20,000-mile / 1-year manufacturer-warranted rating. The 99% at 30-micron efficiency figure is stated against the USCAR 95% minimum; no independent SAE J1858 beta-ratio data has been published. The label and feature bullets describe an anti-drain-back valve and a canister rated to 9X operating pressure, but no independent cut-open of the M1-212A confirms internal construction or the bypass threshold. It is the larger-canister filter for the 2014-2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 EcoTec3 4.3L, 5.3L, and 6.2L engines, plus the 2019-2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 5.3L and 6.2L, and crosses to the ACDelco PF63.
Right pick for a 2014-2018 Silverado or Sierra, a 2019-2026 Silverado, or related GM truck owner on full-synthetic oil who wants the Extended Performance filter matching the ACDelco PF63 service part and a 20,000-mile warranty. Skip if independent SAE J1858 filtration data is a requirement; none exists for the M1-212A. A full-synthetic extended-drain filter with documented multi-pass data is the alternative there.

Steel canister with synthetic filter media and no chemical exposure pathway from the filter itself. Every spent filter holds residual motor oil, a hazardous waste in most US jurisdictions; drained filters are accepted at most parts stores for recycling. The 20,000-mile rating reduces annual filter consumption versus standard-drain alternatives.
Yes. The M1-212A is the Extended Performance filter for the 2014-2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 EcoTec3 engines, including the 4.3L V6, the 5.3L V8, and the 6.2L V8. It crosses to the ACDelco PF63, the GM service filter for these trucks. The same filter also covers the 2019-2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 (5.3L and 6.2L), so a newer truck is not excluded. Always confirm fitment using your truck's year, engine size, and the retailer's parts finder before installation.
The M1-212A crosses to the ACDelco PF63, the GM/AC Delco service oil filter for the EcoTec3 truck engines. Most major filter brands publish an equivalent for the same GM truck application, so a cross-reference lookup will return part numbers across multiple brands for the 2014-2018 Silverado, Sierra, and related GM trucks.
No independent SAE J1858 multi-pass beta-ratio data has been published for the M1-212A. The 99% at 30 microns claim is stated against the USCAR 95% minimum standard rather than a third-party certified beta-ratio test. The SAE J1858 metric used to verify premium filter efficiency, β15(c) ≥ 200, has not been publicly documented for this filter.
Mobil 1 rates the M1-212A for up to 20,000 miles or 1 year, whichever comes first, when used as directed with Mobil 1 Extended Performance synthetic oil. The manufacturer backs this rating with a limited warranty. With conventional oil, standard service intervals apply because the oil itself, not the filter, governs the shorter change interval.
Yes. The M1-212A includes an anti-drain-back valve designed to keep oil from draining back into the pan during shutdown, which reduces dry starts on cold mornings. Its presence is stated in manufacturer feature bullets and on the product label; no independent cut-open of this specific part was located to confirm the valve material or the bypass opening pressure.
The Amazon listing for Mobil 1 M1-212A Extended Performance Oil Filter carries a California Prop 65 warning. California requires this warning on a very wide range of manufactured goods — including rubber, vinyl, plastic, and metal automotive parts — whenever trace exposure to any of roughly 900 listed substances (commonly phthalates or heavy metals) is possible, regardless of whether the specific product poses a meaningful health risk. As a passive accessory, Mobil 1 M1-212A Extended Performance Oil Filter has no Safety Data Sheet, so there's no chemistry breakdown to translate beyond that.

⚠ 2014-2018 Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 (shared GMT K2XX platform, identical EcoTec3 4.3L/5.3L/6.2L engines), the M1-212A's primary GM truck application (ACDelco PF63 service filter). Automated WIX/FRAM cross-reference harvest was rejected on 2026-06-24: the PF63 interchange bridge resolved to a Ford/Lincoln WIX part (57502XP), producing a wrong-vehicle list, so only the independently GM-seed-confirmed Silverado/Sierra application is published. Also fits the 2019-present Chevrolet Silverado 1500 T1XX 5.3L L84 / 6.2L L87 V8s, which use the same ACDelco PF63 cross (confirmed by the same GM oil-capacity seed data cited for the WIX WL10255 T1XX application). Verify your year, make, model, and engine before buying. CORRECTED 2026-08-01: description, meta_description, and body copy previously named only the 2014-2018 K2XX generation despite chevrolet-silverado-t1xx already being a published fits.slugs entry above; copy now reflects the 2019-2026 T1XX Silverado 1500 coverage already established here.
