Leaks:

i had a k&n on my car, immediately i noticed how much lighter and cheaper feeling it was compared to the previous bosch filter i had, also noticed it had a round gasket opposed to the flat one found on most oil filters, but despite this i ran it anyways, a month goes by and i notice my car is starting to leave puddles of oil everywhere, i put it in the shop and lift it up and sure enough the oil is leaking right from the shitty gasket on the k&n filter, replaced it with a bosch and haven’t had an issue

Cons: oil leak, cheap feeling

Vehicle: Honda

Mileage: 285000 km

The K&N for my car was literally half as thick as the oe, and for that reason alone I swapped back. Yes it was the right one. Personally I’d rather just swap the filter than clean and re oil one that is probably doing a worse job

Cons: too thin, poor filtration

second oil change i used 0w-30 with a KN oil filter and it felt like it had more torque off the line. It could just be a placebo effect but that's what I feel.

Pros: felt more torque

Cons: could be placebo effect

Also, use the best filter you can afford and that means K&N (I hate that VW Mann 3D world junk).

Pros: best filter

Cons: VW Mann 3D world junk

As good as their airfilters are... their oil filters are as shite. They leak and are downright dangerous.

Cons: leaks, dangerous

I've used AMSOIL Signature in my recent change in my 3.8 with a K&N Filter. I gotta say it's pretty damn good. Engine cranks right up and feels so much more smoother.

Pros: engine cranks right up, smoother

Warning light:

The filter I was running was a K&N. I removed the old filter and it had totally collapsed. The oil light would come on at every stop in the first 10-15 minutes of driving. Especially in cold weather. After changing the old K&N filter that was in horrible condition, I have had no issues whatsoever.

Cons: filter totally collapsed, caused oil light

Vehicle: Volkswagen

Mileage: 16000 km
