I put one in the Passat a few months ago just for the sake of a better engineered product. It was a cold night for my turbocharged engine, so any greater power I felt I'm sure was imagined. Don't count on it. Just do it for a better quality filter that lasts longer.
I've used them for the past couple of years on my 'tique. No problems at all. I like them.
Personally, I don't think K&N's filtration is bad enough to where it affects the engine. I've got two vehicles in my family that have been running them since day one with over 200,000 miles.
I used the bosch filter anway because I had already purchased it. It has a release valve, Fram doesn't. Anyway the Bosch o-ring was thicker and softer than the Fram's. Hmm, I bet that's why it was leaking.
when i bought my jetta, it had 78k miles, i made the switch to synthetic and runs alot smoother...its liking it better than the dyno oil...i always use the oem filter... i ordered up one of those k&n filters to give it a try, i wanna see how it turns out
what i would suggest that you do is go and get a better oil filter bosch etc. and change your oil to a heavier grade that is what i did in my 92 cab
yeah, you have to whip on an oil filter with an anti backflow valve. fram and mobil1 dont have them the dealer part is the best, imho, but bosch will stop the light also.
I use bosch filter and Motul 6100 5w40 (synthetic) and I am very happy!
hp-2005 will not fit my car. discount auto parts sold that to me after looking in their "data bases". it was wrong though because when i got home and went to do the change, naw. im a 1995 if that helps you out at all. the hp-2005 isnt cartridge type like i/we need
