Not sure about the Mobil 1, but those other filters use paper media.
For the FSS (10,000 mile) extended service interval, you need to use the upgraded Fleece Media.

Click on the two pictures in the above link to see what each looks like.
The extended service filter is made by MANN (P/N: HU718/5X).
Be sure to seat the filter fully (e.g. only 1 of the 2 lines drawn on the filter body will be showing) and install the large O ring properly (e.g. in the grove just below the lip of the cap).
