Default Mobile 1 Oil Filter Not Made for 2006 HCH?

I went to Pep Boys today.
They said Mobile 1 does not make an oil filter for the 2006 HCH.
(They DID carry Mobile 1 oil and oil filters.)

Is this true?
Mobile 1 did make one for the 2004 HCH that I had.

If they DO make it for the 2006 HCH what model # is it?

I've got an M1-110 sitting on my desk says otherwise. Purchased through Autozone's online store.

That's funny because they DID have M1-110s on the shelf.
I suspected it was the right one, since I think that's what I bought for my 2004 HCH.

I guess the guy was just incompetent or the info in their computer was wrong.
Thanx

Shrug... my guess would be that their database was wrong/incomplete. The Mobil1 site also returns the M1-110 as being the correct one.

Really?
I looked there and the only thing I found under oil filters is a page of information.
No look up.

I did a search for oil filter and it led me to that page.

How did you find the look up table?
Did you find it via the search function?

I just recently went through this same thing. Pep Boys did not have any info. for my car so I ended up getting the Pure One filter. It has a multi pass efficiency of 98% so I have no complaints and it was cheaper than the Mobil 1 filter would have been. Later after the oil change I went to the Mobil 1 site and found the filter type like you guys. At least I saved some money.

Kenny, here's the click-chain I used
From www.mobil1.com:
- Click 'Oils'
- In the "What's the right oil for my car" drop-down, select "Help me decide"
- Enter '2006' and 'Honda', click 'Next'
- Select 'Civic', and 'Hybrid'
- Enter miles, temp, and warranty (7000/Above 0/Yes for me)
- Choose 'Ultimate' protection (that's the only way to get the M1 0W-20 full synth anyway), and 'Finish'
- Where it says "Special filter not required", click the link

And there it is, the M1-110, plus a Fram (eep!) and two Purolators.

.

Someday I might even beat that wascally kenny!

M1-110 has gone through a couple of iteration. I now have one that has the extended life logo. I think it rated for 15K miles.

Mine reads "Extended Performance", and doesn't have any mileage ratings on it. Wonder what the difference is.
