Oil filter K&N or AMSOIL
Have done many oil changes on both my Tellurides, and used K&N every-time, better quality than OEM.
Pros: better quality than OEM
Vehicle:
Kia
I installed an AMSoil satellite oil filter. I change it out every 15k and change my oil and primary oil filter at 30k.
Pros: extended filter life
Mileage: 15000 km
I've tried a number of different filters from OEM, Purolator, Amsoil, and Prova. I will say this. When I used the Amsoil filter and did an oil change, the oil came out looking like it went in. So no, not all filter are created equal. I haven't done an oil change with the Prova yet. Not driving as much with WFH.
Pros: oil looked clean
Cons: not all filters equal
Vehicle:

My ‘11 CR-V AWD is sitting pretty at 285,000 miles and I’ve been using a combination of Valvoline MaxLife Engine Oil High Mileage Full Synthetic and K&N High Performance Oil Filter for the last 100k miles.
Vehicle:
Honda
Mileage: 285000 km
Valvoline High Mileage w/ K&N Gold filter, I've had no problems, and it runs smooth
Pros: no problems, runs smooth
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
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
What I usually order with K&n performance oil filter.
I'm still running my K&N oil filter, though I've got a Mahle that I ordered along with the ABA pump.
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
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
