Oil filter K&N or AMSOIL
Changed oil at 7556 miles with Amsoil Signature Series 0w20 and an Amsoil filter. I've noticed over time that the oil in the Honda has darkened faster.
Cons: oil darkened faster
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
Mileage: 7556 km
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
Vehicle:
Hyundai Genesis Coupe
Personally i use these:
Oil filter is a 204-1 so for £8 it's worth buying K&N
And as for oil i use Shell Ultra 4T 10W40 (Fully synthetic). I use this in all my bikes as i find it really enduring and reasonably priced if you know where to look.
Pros: enduring, reasonably priced
Part number: 204-1
Amsoil signature series is good for 1 year/25000 miles, and the Amsoil ea filter is good for the same. It is cheaper too. Amsoil has been proven many times over to work.
Pros: proven to work, cheaper
Mileage: 25000 km
I go for K&N. No complaints. Also, they have that nut on the end, so you can wrench it off.
Pros: no complaints
AMSOil Signature oil and their filter, AMSOil trans fluid.
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I've been running Castrol 5w40 in my cars for years. Started in my '99 Beetle 2.0 and now my 1.8T GTI. I use the K&N filter but I get the one for the Passat since its larger.
Pros: larger filter, good performance
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Been doing it myself with full synthetic and k&n performance filters every 3k ever since.
Pros: full synthetic, performance filters
Vehicle:
Nissan
Mileage: 3000 km
As good as their airfilters are... their oil filters are as shite. They leak and are downright dangerous.
Cons: leaks, dangerous
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
